Matthew 27:35
And they crucified Him, and parted His garments, casting lost; that it
might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, "They parted my
garments among them and upon my vesture did they cast lots."
Much have been written, talked and preached about Crucifixion Friday,
because this is the day our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ sacrificed His life so
that all who believe in Him will have everlasting life. He died for the sins of
the world; all humanity, but to have this everlasting life one must believe. A life
of righteousness is the result of Christ paying man's sin-debt reconciling him
back to God the Father who is holy and righteous.
On the way to Calvary's cross, Christ
our Savior suffered much from a mock trail by the religious leaders of His time
to Pontus Pilate who found no fault in Jesus, but bowed to the will of the
people who choose Barabbas to be released over the Savior of the world. They
crucified the man who has power over life and death; the man who was in the beginning
before time began. The man who had the power to come down from the cross, but
couldn't because of His love for all humanity and obedience to the Father of
providing salvation.
In Christ's dying hour, the Father couldn't look on sin and caused the
sun and moon to turn away and the earth reeled and rocked like a drunk man;
midnight came at noon. The curtain in the temple tore from top to bottom, which
signifies that all believers have a blood bought right to go directly to God
the Father for themselves.
No Crucifixion Friday, no Resurrection Sunday. O what a weekend!
