Episode 228: Luke 23

Today's meditation is on Luke Chapter 23

Such love, such sacrifice, is hard to comprehend. The Romans found no fault in him. How could they, he was faultless, the spotless Lamb of God. 

Mocked, ridiculed and beaten, he was sentenced to die by crucifixion between two thieves while an insurrectionist and murderer was released in his place. 

My Jesus was forced to carry his own cross until he collapsed beneath it's weight and loss of blood from his wounds. 

Still, his thoughts were not for himself. He asked the women who followed him, weeping, not to cry for him, but for themselves and for their children. 

And as he hung on the cross, he asked Father God to forgive those who were carrying out the execution and casting lots for his clothing. 

He bore all of my sickness, all of my shame, all of my sin. He died so I could live.

He was not just the King of the Jews, he was and is the King of everything. 

The sun stopped shining and darkness covered the land for three hours. Then as he committed his spirit to the Father and breathed his last, the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 

There is no more separation between me and Father God. Jesus, the perfect sacrifice, restored me to right standing with the Father. He gave me entrance to the Holy of Holies. I am in awe of his amazing love and grace.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
