Jesus has been nailed to the cross
Hung between two thieves
He was mocked, cursed, and spit upon
Here is the King of the Jews
Written above His head
He wore a crown of thrones
Upon His head and He became
Thirsty and the soldiers gave Him sour wine
Lifted to His lips and He drank in the bitterness
He was pierced in His hands, feet and side
What treachery did He commit
That they treated Him this way
Yet in the Garden He said, “Not my will but yours be done Father.”
When He breathed His last
He cried, “It is Finished into Your hands I commit my Spirit.”
What was finished?
His Life? His ministry?
His earthly life had ended but then He rose to life three days later.
His ministry carries on through His Bride, the church
The punishment for sin is death
But He had never sinned and Yet He bore our sin
Past, present and future upon the cross
So that when God the Father sees us
He sees His Son’s perfect cleansing blood
And through it we are made free from sin
Due to the death of Jesus on the Cross
This is the oasis of Grace of God Almighty
