750 WHAT KIND OF LOVE, 987 HERE IS
LOVE, 988 HOW DEEP THE FATHER’S,
162 FROM HEAVEN YOU CAME.
John 19 vs.1-16, John 19 vs.17-42
I love to think about what we
remember on Good Friday, although if we had been there it would not have been a
pleasant sight, a gory execution. There were many thousands of crucifixions
carried out by the Romans so why is this one so important? Jesus didn’t deserve
to die, well you might say there have been many miscarriages of justice down
through the years yes there has. But Jesus is different He is God He is the Son
of God. God sent His Son to die so that He could die the death that we deserve
because we are sinners. He bore the judgement of a Holy God for the sin of the
whole world. He is the Alpha and Omega, Messiah, Saviour, Redeemer, Mediator.
This is pivotal event in the history
of the world, God plan of love towards us in sending His beloved Son to die.
There is more involved in the death of Christ than we could ever know. The
Father fully accepted the sacrifice of His Son on our behalf. I have just
listed a few things for us to meditate upon;
During the intensity of His suffering
He cared for Mary and John - He cares
for us.
He had no rest that we might have
Eternal rest.
He was thirsty that we might receive
living water.
He was forsaken so that we wouldn't be.
He was alone so that we never need to
be alone.
He said Father forgive - He forgives us.
He became offering for sin, that we
would be clothed in His righteousness.
He bore the judgement of God so that
we could receive Mercy and Grace.
He shed His precious blood to redeem
us.
“It is finished”. - He accomplished and finished the work that
the Father had given Him to do to God’s complete satisfaction.
He died that we might live abundant
life here and Eternal life in Heaven.
He rose from the dead to give us new
spiritual life. He is the firstfruits from among the dead.
He is coming again to take us to be
with Him eternally.
So what is my what is your response
to Jesus Christ, for those not yet forgiven and in a real relationship with Him
repent and trust Him for Salvation.
For those of us who have trusted Him
we should decrease and let Him increase in our lives, so that our hearts and
minds are one with His.
