Can you imagine being beaten not just beaten but beaten to the point that you are not recognized? His flesh was opened, and blood spattered everywhere. Strike after strike, for what had he done to deserve this? And they repeatedly beat His head with a reed and spit on Him, and kneeling, they bowed down before Him. Mark 15:19
Jesus Death was gruesome. But what was it all for? He died that we may have life, he died for all sins and transgression. He was beaten then nailed to a cross and then crucified for our sins.
Ok it's all over he died right? No not at all, that was just the beginning. On the third day Jesus rose again and ascended to heaven. where He is stilling sitting today and with us always. what happened back them is still relevant today. The bible is not some book that was long ago, it is a book for today as well. Jesus is today, tomorrow, and forever. His death is to be remembered not because he died but He died for us and our sins. He loved us so much that he dies for our sins.
But do not grieve for the death for He is Risen!!! He has risen Indeed!!!! But he said to them, “Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; see, here is the place where they laid Him. Mark 16:6
My message is short today, but I leave you with this to sum it all up:
Remember and thank God for dyeing on the cross for our sins, but then know that He is risen and sitting on the throne in heaven.
Amen, have a blessed day!!!!
All verse taken from the NASB
