Day 316: Matthew 27 and Mark 15

Today on Meditating the Word: Judas Hangs Himself, Jesus Before Pilate, the Soldiers Mock Jesus, Jesus' Crucifixion, Death and Burial, the Guard at the Tomb.

This is Day 316. We are reading Matthew 27 and Mark 15

Father God, as hard as it is to read the account of Jesus' torture, crucifixion and death, we know from the prophecies of the Old Testament, that it was actually far worse than these words depict. But more than the physical pain, Jesus bore the spiritual pain of our sins placed on him... and because of our sins, he was separated from You. We can't imagine the pain he endured, nor the pain You endured. Your only Son, he who was without sin, taking our sin. He took on the curse, every sickness, every disease, every disability, all the guilt and shame... he didn't deserve any of it, but he took it all on himself so that we could go free. What a price. We are humbled, Father. And so very grateful. Amen
