Christ Crown
| I am thankful to say that I was brought up as a Christian. I am one of the lucky humans who recognise the truth behind Jesus's death on the cross. There are humans in this world who believe Jesus existed, but see him as just a prophet, who passed from physical life to make a protest. This is not so. He passed away to take away our sin. His ordeal started out in Gethsemene, when he knew his hour had closely come and the humane side of his personality was afraid of what lay ahead. I think the scene in Gethsemene, when he begged his Father to "take this cup away," is critical to the story of the passion. We know that he was God's son, and so, had a divine nature. It is very easy therefore, to believe that he did not feel things the way we, as humans, do. If Our Lord had not panicked in the garden, when he sweat blood and called on his father to not make him go through with the suffering, he knew was coming to him, some Christians would have thought that, altho his body was being broken, his spirit was far away, and at peace. The conflict amongst the two halves of his personality, also proves that he always knew what was going to happen. He could have fended off being caught, but instead, he surrendered to the soldiers. We recognise that Jesus, all around his ordeal, was lucid and alert. When they had nailed him to the cross and raised him up to die, his words, at first, were not when it comes to himself and the fix he was in. He asked God to pardon the humans who had tortured and crucified him, he was also concerned regarding his mother, and he asked John to look after her. He promised the repentant thief that he would be with Jesus, that day in paradise. It was only later, that his thoughts turned to himself. God The Father can not be around sin. and Jesus had taken all the sins of the world on his shoulders, therefore, his father turned away from him while he hung on the cross. This is the most painful thing of all for us to think about. After all he had gone through, he did not even have his father to ease him, but mercifully, that time came to an end and Jesus, after indicating that he was thirsty, gave up his spirit. Crucifiction is a terrible death, invented by the Greeks and perfected by the Romans. I employed to think that Jesus bled to death, but this is not so. The nails prevent the blood escaping to that much of an extent, as would the crown of thorns. On the cross, it is suffocation which causes death, as the chest may not exaggerate to let air into the lungs. It is a slow, horrific death and it is widely believed that Jesus passed from physical life from heart faliure, because of the blood and water which escaped from him when his side was pierced. But the story did not end there. As each Christian knows, Jesus was laid to rest in a borrowed tomb, but on the morning of Easter Sunday, he rose again! This is the only point to the death of Jesus! His glorious resurrection and an end to the slavery of our sinful selves. Jesus was brave and he was loving, and anything we go through in our lives, he understands, because he has been there and got the T shirt. Thanks be to God!

As share of the bride of Christ---are believers anticipating marrying the King, or just his crown and kingdom? Are we serving God just to get into heaven? Or to keep from going to hell? Or are we loving Heaven's king, with no thought of reward? To be with Him is to percentage with the sin that weighs us down.............................but is that a good reason? Yes, but not the best reason..........to see Him in His Glory. To thank Him and praise Him and sing to Him and worship Him face to face. You know, Theo we may not forget the perks that come with knowing Him and being with Him one day....but surely true believers must realize it is all regarding Him and not us! He is the end all of all. |
