Some comment on the inspiration of a special Person and of all others like Him who stand unflinchingly for what they believe in, disregarding the consequences.
He commented on the inspiration of that special Person and of all others like Him who stand unflinchingly for what they believe in, disregarding the consequences.
Often times we totally we utterly miss the true significance of Jesus’ death.
Like most people in Western society, we know many of the bare facts of the crucifixion but we fail to grasp of its meaning apart from the obvious travesty of human justice.
And because of this “missing” Jesus’ resurrection is considered to be more myth and legend than history. No divine purpose, activity, or accomplishment were so much as hinted at.
By the time of Christ the Romans had crucified some 30,000 men in Palestine alone.
It seems probable that some of whose men were also innocent of the charges against them. The majority of them were executed for insurrection and doubtlessly were sincere patriots who hoped to free their people from oppression. They died nobly for a cause they believed in. Why, then, we may ask, does history remember the name of only one of those men?
The answer is clear almost from the opening words of Scripture. The sin of Adam and Eve not only caused their own fall and that of all their descendants but also brought corruption of the entire earth. It was for that reason Paul declared that the physical world groans like a woman in childbirth, longing to be restored to its God-designed perfection ().
Immediately after the Fall, God gave the first veiled promise of deliverance from the sin that had cursed mankind and the rest of the world. He told Satan, “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel” ().
MacArthur, J. F., Jr. (1985). Matthew (Vol. 4, p. 266). Chicago: Moody Press.
Because men, not women, carry the seed of procreation, the seed of Eve was a prediction of the virgin birth of Christ, who would have no human father and who would be bruised temporarily “on the heel” by Satan but would bruise Satan permanently “on the head.”
God gave us a veiled promise through Abraham and Issic
God gave us a picture through Immediately after the Fall, God gave the first veiled promise of deliverance from the sin that had cursed mankind and the rest of the world. He told Satan, “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel” (). Because men, not women, carry the seed of procreation, the seed of Eve was a prediction of the virgin birth of Christ, who would have no human father and who would be bruised temporarily “on the heel” by Satan but would bruise Satan permanently “on the head.”
When God provided the ram as a substitute for Isaac, whom He had ordered his father, Abraham, to sacrifice (), He provided a beautiful picture of the sacrificial offering of His own Son, Jesus Christ—except that for Him no substitute was or could be provided.
And through the animal sacrifices prescribed in the law of Moses, God portrayed to His people the necessity of shedding blood for the remission of sin. But the blood of those animals had no power to remove the slightest sin, and the sacrifices had to be repeated continuously throughout the history of Israel.
Yet imperfect as they were, they nevertheless pictured the true, sufficient, and once-for-all sacrifice for sins that Christ’s blood shed on the cross would provide. Only one of the 30,000 crucified died for the sins of the world!
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
Matt 27:
MacArthur, J. F., Jr. (1985). Matthew (Vol. 4, pp. 266–267). Chicago: Moody Press.
Matt 27
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
From 9:00 am - 12:00 Noon
The Silence of the Suffering of Jesus was broken only Three times
The Mocking, The Jeering The Beating , The Whipping ,The Nailing
Caused Him to say Father Forgive them For They Know Not what They Do!!
The Repentant thief who asked the Lord to remember Him when He came into His Kingdom
Caused the Master to say Truly today you will be with me in Paradise
Their on the Cross the soldiers began to gamble over Hid seamless Tunic
Which I believe caused Him to lock eyes with His Mother and the Disciple that He Loved
For Him to make provision for His Mother not only by providing for Her but as she loses a Son She Gains a Savior.
Then at 12 Noon The Bible says...
And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”
Divine Darkness
Divine Darkness
They lifted Jesus up on the cross at 9:00 am
From Sixth hour: (Midday Noon) to the 9th Hour (3:00 pm )
No matter who you are , No matter How Much Good you do , No Matter How much you Please the Father you my friend will have some Dark days
Dark Days in your between you and Your Spouse
Dark Days between you and and the people that you love the most
Dark Days where you got more month than you got money
Dark Days where things just didn't work out the way that you intended them work out.
Its one thing to be in a Night season but its a horse of a different color for you to be in Gross darkness
There was darkness, this is a turn of events God was doing something new here.
A super natural darkness hung over the land :can also be translated earth, indicating the entire world.
MacArthur, J. F., Jr. (1985). Matthew (Vol. 4, p. 268). Chicago: Moody Press.
This was not a eclipse
God turned the lights off
I’ve Learned that sometimes God will cut the Light off in your life
He will turn the lights off because you have un-repented Sin in your Life
He will cut the Lights off because you sleeping in beds that you have no business sleeping in
He will turn the lights off because you are taking things that don't belong to you
Stealing will get your lights turned off
Lying will get your lights turned off
Adultery will get your lights turned off
Sex before marriage will get your lights turned off
But the Lights get turned off on Jesus and He did nothing wrong
What do you do when the lights get turned off on the Light of the world
When He was born their was light at midnight :When Jesus was born, the night sky around Bethlehem was filled with supernatural light
MacArthur, J. F., Jr. (1985). Matthew (Vol. 4, p. 267). Chicago: Moody Press.
And when He died it was Darkness at Noon :
The first miraculous sign that accompanied Jesus’ death was not glorious light but dread darkness.
From the sixth hour (noon), when the sun is at its zenith, supernatural darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour (3:00 p.m.).
Jesus’ crucifixion had begun at the third hour, or 9:00 A.M. (), and when the darkness began He had been on the cross for three hours.
Being in the Dark: Jesus was entering into the very heart of His Atoning work
MacArthur, J. F., Jr. (1985). Matthew (Vol. 4, p. 267). Chicago: Moody Press.
There is No mention of the mocking and the jeering from the crowd, but this gross darkness has them silences with fear and reverence
This darkness silence the ignorance of all of His Nay Sayers
Divine Judgement
This is the darkest day of human history
The Darkness symbolizes the darkness of Sin
The Darkness symbolizes the darkness of the human soul and its works
The Darkness symbolizes the withdrawal of the light of God’s presence from the sinner
The Darkness symbolizes God anger and Gods’s judgment being poured out on Christ for the sins of the world.
They will growl over it on that day,
like the growling of the sea.
And if one looks to the land,
behold, darkness and distress;
and the light is darkened by its clouds.
For the stars of the heavens and their constellations
will not give their light;
the sun will be dark at its rising,
and the moon will not shed its light.
I will punish the world for its evil,
and the wicked for their iniquity;
I will put an end to the pomp of the arrogant,
and lay low the pompous pride of the ruthless.
a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of clouds and thick darkness!
Like blackness there is spread upon the mountains
a great and powerful people;
their like has never been before,
nor will be again after them
through the years of all generations.
Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light,
and gloom with no brightness in it?
Am
The great day of the Lord is near,
near and hastening fast;
the sound of the day of the Lord is bitter;
the mighty man cries aloud there.
Zeph
A day of wrath is that day,
a day of distress and anguish,
a day of ruin and devastation,
a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of clouds and thick darkness,
Ze
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment;
The cross was a place of immense divine judgment, where the sins of the world were poured out vicariously on the sinless, perfect Son. It was therefore appropriate that great supernatural darkness express God’s reaction to sin in that act of judgment.
Divine Bearing
Jesus was bearing our Sins on the Cross
whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.
But he was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities:
The chastisement of our peace was upon him;
And with his stripes we are healed.
Is
All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned every one to his own way;
And the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness,
who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,
1 Peter
In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”—
Divine Wrath
Is 53:
Jesus was enduring our punishment on the cross
Wrath :strong vengeful anger or indignation
retribution punishment for an offense or a crime: divine chastisement synonym see ANGER
Merriam-Webster, I. (2003). Merriam-Webster’s collegiate dictionary. (Eleventh ed.). Springfield, MA: Merriam-Webster, Inc.
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief:
When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin,
He shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days,
And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
God sent him to die in our place to take away our sins. We receive forgiveness through faith in the blood of Jesus’ death. This showed that God always does what is right and fair, as in the past when he was patient and did not punish people for their sins.
He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.
All that Hell is Jesus was baring it.
I believe that this is part of the Agony that we see Christ wresting with, toiling with in the Garden of Gethsemane that He Himself will endure the suffing
Propitiation, taking a personal object, speaks of the appeasement of an offended party—specifically the Christian God—from wrath or anger.
Expiation falls under the concept of propitiation. In Scripture it cannot exist without propitiation. Other terms used for propitiation are appeasement and placation.
His anger is the settled opposition of his holy nature to everything that is evil.
Such opposition to sin cannot be dismissed with a wave of the hand. It requires something much more substantial. And the Bible states that it was only the cross that did this. Jesus is “the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world” ( KJV). This is not the only way of looking at the cross, but it is an important way. If God’s anger is real, then it must be taken into account in the way that sin, which caused that wrath, is dealt with. When the NT says “propitiation,” then, it means that Jesus’ death on the cross for the sins of mankind put away God’s wrath against his people once and for all.
expiation. The belief that sin is canceled out by being covered over. For Christians, expiation suggests that Christ’s death covers our sins. Biblical scholars debate whether the Greek terms deriving from hilaskomai should be translated as “propitiation,” denoting the turning away of divine wrath, or, in contrast, as “expiation,” denoting the sense of covering sins or canceling a debt. Hilaskomai is also sometimes translated simply as “mercy seat.”
propitiation. An offering that turns away the wrath of God directed against sin. According to the NT, God has provided the offering that removes the divine wrath, for in love the Father sent the Son to be the propitiation (or atoning sacrifice) for human sin (). See also expiation.
See what Sin is and learn to hate it
Elwell, W. A., & Beitzel, B. J. (1988). Propitiation. In Baker encyclopedia of the Bible (Vol. 2, p. 1784). Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Book House.
This was a direct quotation from . It was during the time of darkness that Jesus had been made sin for us ().
He had been forsaken by the Father! That darkness was a symbol of the judgment that He endured when He was “made a curse” for us (). suggests a period of light and a period of darkness; and emphasizes the holiness of God. How could a holy God look with favor on His Son who had become sin?
Jesus spoke these words in Hebrew, and the spectators did not understand Him. They thought He was calling for Elijah to help Him. Had they listened carefully and consulted in its entirety, they would have understood the truth.
God turned the lights off
When He was born their was light at midnight
And when He died it was Darkness at Noon
Divine Abandonment

Abandonment

to withdraw protection, support, or help from 〈he abandoned his family〉

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
Your eyes are too pure to look at evil.
You can’t watch wickedness.
Why do you keep watching treacherous people?
Why are you silent when wicked people swallow those
who are more righteous than they are?
