TODAY’S WORD FOR THURSDAY MARCH 24, 2016.
DEATH
The end of life on this earth; the act of dying; to kill; execute.
So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “IT IS FINISHED.” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. John 19:30.
Tomorrow is known as Good Friday. It is the day we celebrate the death of Jesus. God sent His Son, Jesus, to this world to die on the cross caring all the sins of mankind to pay our debt for our sins.
Jesus was unique in His death. He underwent the greatest of public indignations as well as physical agonies. His faultless behavior at His death was testified through the ages that He was “truly a righteous man.” Nowhere in history or literature is there a nobler account than that of Jesus facing the cross and then dying on it.
As the Messiah Jesus died for His peoples sins fulfilling the detailed prophecy of David written about 1,000 years prior (Psalm 22). He also fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah (Isaiah 52:13-53:12).
Jesus prophesied His own death and that it would be for the sins of many (Mark 10:45 and Matthew 16:21). Jesus also died voluntarily, obeying the Father’s will (John 10:17-18).
Jesus death did fulfill prophecy. His death did fulfill His Father’s will. Most important is what Jesus’s death did for us. His death and resurrection saves us from eternal death and resurrects us to eternal life if we confess our sins and ask Him into our heart.
At this Easter season let us not forget what Jesus did for us.
Our memory verse for this week is found in Matthew 5:6.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
At this Easter season it is my prayer, dear Lord, that my family will totally understand what you did for us by dying on the cross and then for Your resurrection. May others see Christ in us as we profess our salvation because of what You did for us.
