The Day Scripture Was Fulfilled
“And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.” (Mark 15:22-26)
Today’s Morsel: It’s amazing that all four gospel writers write about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, or the gospel. This was a most momentous occasion that one would die for all. It has so impacted many for years. And even today, it still impacting the old and young alike. For Jesus had said that the scriptures must be fulfilled which was written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and in the Psalms concerning Himself. Isaiah had written, “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.” (Isaiah 53:3-8) When the Eunuch asked Phillip in Acts 8, “...I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.” (Acts 8:34-35). And as Jesus told Nicodemus: “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” (John 3:14-15) It was all fulfilled for us.
Sing: He was wounded for our transgression; He was bruised for our iniquities. Surely, He bore all our sorrow; And by His stripes we are healed.
Thought For Today: “I love you”, that’s what Calvary says.
