Can You Feel The Pain?
Can you feel the pain He
feels as
the nails go through His hands
Driving them in deeper
Bloody red hands..*
"And the men that held Him mocked Him and struck Him.
And they blinfolded Him and smote His face. And they
asked Him saying: Prophecy: Who is it that struck Thee?"
Luke 22:63-64 (DRB)
"Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And He
said unto them, Ye say that I am. And they said, What need
we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his
own mouth. "
Luke 22:70-71 (KJV)
"And they clothed Him with purple and plaited a crown of
thorns and put it around His head. And they began to salute
Him, Hail, King of the Jews! And they struck Him on the
head with a reed, and spat on Him, and placing the knees,
they bowed to Him. And when they had mocked Him,they took
the purple off Him and put His own clothes on Him and led
Him out to crucify Him."
Mark 15:17-20 (MKJV)
This is what they did to my precious Lord and Saviour. He
paid the ultimate price that we couldn't pay ourselves. We
all deserve it. Every punch. Every kick. Every stab from the
crown. The dull thud and stabbing pain of the nail.
They spit on Him mocked His name
Very much like the world today
Beat Him, Laughed at Him...*
"And bearing His cross, He went out to a place called, The
Place of a Skull (which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha)
where they crucified Him, and two others with Him,one on either
side, and Jesus in the middle. And Pilate wrote a title and
put it on the cross.And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH,
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
John 19:17-19 (MKJV)
So on this friday that commemorates the day on which this
happened, don't forget what Jesus did for you. Each drop of
precious blood that fell to save us from our sins. "For God
so loved the world that He gave His only beggoten Son."
John 3:16
Thank You Jesus.
