SCRIPTURE: Matthew 27:54-56
OBSERVATIONS/APPLICATION
There is something remarkable about Jesus, in life and in death.
Why were so many people impacted by this nobody from Nazareth?
Why did He agitate those in power, and inspire those in poverty?
How did He generate a world-changing movement, considering He died such an ignoble death?
Even the Roman guards sensed the difference, they sensed the supernatural qualities of His life and death, of Who He was.
We need to pay close attention to Jesus, to how He lived and how He died.
I am convinced that Jesus sets the bar or standard for all humanity, the pattern by which all people should be measured.
All of these witnesses watched carefully, and were impacted.
Now is a good time to do the same, to witness again (through eyewitness reports), the remarkable life and death and Life of Jesus Son of God.
I believe that even if we don’t focus on Jesus now, one day we will, when He comes again, and every eye will see Him, every knee will now, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord! (Revelation 1:7, Philippians 2:10-11)
What do you sense the Lord saying to you?
PRAYER
Lord, when I think about You, about how You lived and how You died, I cannot help but declare, truly You are the Son of God!
