11. Jesus
is nailed to the cross
And---they lied
and beat and defiled Me…and nailed Me to the cross!
INRI-“Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews”!
Here are Thy followers, crown and
cross.
Why crucifixion? So
brutal! Savage! In human! Torture! Hate! God
might have only offered a flickered Whisper-wind
inspiration to offer mankind holy-sacred Redemption
and Salvation; even Jesus, though only man in his sufferings
might have invoked Deity supernatural
authority to merely single-tremble His
little finger to defeat the evil
tormentors-persecutors. But, He did
not!
During the praying of the holy-sacred Stations-of-the-cross a young lady was
overcome with the emotion of total despair and longing in sympathy for Jesus-Savior in his torment and was
heard to cry out in hopeful passion, “Not my Jesus!” Perhaps a Perfect
lamentation in Faith!
And, why
did Jesus’ redemption sacrifice have
to necessarily be so patently brutal?
Jesus trials and
tribulations Redeemed man of his sins
initiating a new covenant between God
and the Father’s children that
through belief in Jesus lowly man
might achieve holy Salvation.
A picture is worth a thousand words! ---Indeed! Jesus’ crucifixion for us is akin to
eternity!
Father! Accept
my sacrifice that My brothers and sisters join Us in spirit-Peace! Amen!
