The cross of the Son of God

Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Matthew 27:45.46.

The cross of the Son of God
How did the people whom Jesus had come to save treat Him? Not as a king, nor as a prophet, nor as a righteous person, not even as a human being. Those earthworms, with their vehement hatred, humiliated Him to the point of saying, "I am a worm, and no man, a reproach of men" (Psalm 22:6). They estimated His worth at thirty pieces of silver, just when He thought them worth dying for. They captured Him by night like a robber, bound Him and brought Him before Caiaphas, Herod and Pilate. They crowned Him, as if He were a king, but with thorns and mocked Him. They spat at Him and crucified Him between two criminals.

God, His God, upheld Him beneath Satan's anger, the hatred of the Pharisees, the clamouring of the people, Pilate's cowardice and the sarcasm of the priests. But who comforted Him when the wrath of the righteous, holy God swept down on him? Such a death, capital punishment and all that outrage are the bitterness of crucifixion, but the peak of of the bitterness in this case was elsewhere.

We see how God had laden His Son with the iniquity of us all, punishing Him for our sins, letting Him cry out from His parched throat: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

Does that leave your eye dry, and your heart cold?

(adapted from Alphonse Monod)

Today's reading: Job 6:1-30 · Acts 7:17-34

OFFENDED IN CHRIST?
Open Heavens
for Tuesday, December 3, 2013
by Pastor E.A Adeboye

OFFENDED IN CHRIST?

The Christian race must be run with lots of patience or else it will be bungled midway. If you are inpatient with Gods timing, you will not only get into trouble but may not be able to finish the race. A good number of backsliders derailed from their heavenly track because of impatience. In Matthew 11:6 Jesus...More

Jehovah appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre. And he sat at the tent-door in the heat of the day. And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, three men standing near him.

THE HOLY SPIRIT
Open Heavens
for Thursday, December 19, 2013
by Pastor E.A Adeboye

THE HOLY SPIRIT

It is one thing to receive the anointing and another to keep growing on it. There are people who had the anointing, but today, everything has virtually ebbed out. It is possible to connect with the Holy Spirit and to continue to flow in the power of the anointing even at increasing levels. If this is your desire,...More
BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY

BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY

Yesterday we learnt it is not right for us to get angry with God or to take offence against Him, even if we experience the deferment of our hopes. The example of John the Baptist who earlier acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah, but later doubted Him because of his painful experience of incarceration is a warning...More
