It was an extraordinary day in the history of mankind!
Jesus, the Light of the world was crucified.
Never ever in the history
of the world lived any man as holy and sinless as this Man Jesus
was. None could ever find any fault in Him. The judge who examined Him
testified repeatedly that he found no fault in Him. The heavenly Father
attested repeatedly that He is well pleased with His beloved Son, Jesus. Yet,
He was subjected to unlawful trials, humiliation, scourging, and finally to
crucifixion, the most heinous punishment.
The most awe-inspiring events that followed His crucifixion were that nature changed its
course as from the sixth hour to the ninth hour,
there was mysterious darkness
over all the land (Matthew 27:45),
the veil of the Temple was rent in twain from the top to
the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent, and so on. As the sun withdrew his light,
impenetrable darkness set in on the entire land for three hours because the
event on the cross was “too holy” for the sinful human eyes to behold, for “in the place where the
burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the LORD: It is Most
Holy” (Leviticus 6:25).
And it was during those three dreadful hours that the Lord Jesus, the sinless beloved
Son of God, being made
sin for you and for me and
for everyone else, was drinking the
cup of God's wrath.
As Jesus hung on the cross bearing
the sin and guilt of the
entire human race, which includes you and I, the Father hid His face
from the Son.
Jesus experienced on the
cross the dark
clouds of the
fierce judgment of God, because “…God hath made Jesus
to be sin for us, who knew
no sin; that
we might be made the righteousness
of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Sorrow filled the heart of the Most Holy Son of God, and He cried with
the agony of His soul, “My God, My God, why have you
forsaken Me?”. This question has
puzzled many, but Jesus Himself
answered His question, “For Thou art Holy”
(Psalm 22:3). Jesus was made accountable for our sins,
yours and mine.
God vindicated His holiness
and laid bare the sinfulness of our sins.
Jesus patiently endured
the wrath of the righteous God the Father on the cross to save the entire humanity from
the jaws of eternal death.
The sufferings did not deter
the Redeemer from completing the task entrusted to
Him by His Father. The melancholy
cry gave way to the cry of jubilation, “It is finished” (John 19:30). And He commended His Spirit into
the hands of His Father
(Luke 23:46). He was buried,
but rose again
on the third
day as foretold by Him. Then
He ascended to heaven
and is seated on the right hand of His Majesty
on High. He promised to come back
again to take unto
Himself those who shall receive
Jesus as their
Lord and Savior.
Dear reader, if you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and confess your sins to Him, you shall receive the forgiveness of your sins and will escape the coming judgment. But the fierce judgment of God will be the portion of all those who reject the means of salvation now offered to them…the torment hellfire, by their own choice. Dear reader, do you have the assurance that you will escape the coming judgment? If not, Behold! Now is the acceptable time!
