from Wretched
“After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished,
said in fulfilment of the Scripture, ‘I am thirsty.’ A jar full of sour wine was placed there; so
they put a sponge soaked in the sour wine on a branch of hyssop and held it to
His mouth. When Jesus has received the
sour wine, He said, ‘It is finished!’ And He bowed His head and voluntarily
gave up His spirit.” John 19:28-30
“Now it is an extraordinary thing for one to willingly
give his life even for an upright man, though perhaps for a good man one who is
noble and selfless and worthy, someone might even dare to die.
“But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us, by
the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Therefore, since we have now been justified –
declared free of the guilt of sin by His blood, how much more certain is it
that we will be saved from the wrath of God through Him.
“For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through
the death of His Son, it is much more certain, having been reconciled, that we
will be saved from the consequences of sin, by His life – that is, we will be
saved because Christ lives today. – So then as through one trespass (Adam’s
Sin) there resulted condemnation for all men, even so through one act of
righteousness there resulted justification of live to all men” Romans 5:8-10,
18
Before and after we embrace the free and gracious gift of
eternal salvation by accepting the reality of Jesus’ sacrifice to death and His
resurrection, we attempt to ‘look good’ to those around us, knowing the depth
of our own secret sins that are the reason we must depend on His love.
Take care with love, especially His, Darlene (who still
