Zec 13:6
”And one will say to him, ‘
What are these wounds between your arms?'
Then he will say, ‘
Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.'
The wounds.
Wounds on His back, His chest.
Wounds that pierced His hands and feet.
Wounds that were caused in pure hatred;
Yet, Love was wounded for our transgressions,
and bruised for our iniquities.
“You did not choose Me
but I chose you
and appointed you
that you should go and bear fruit
that will remain
and whatever you ask the Father in my name
He will give you.”
“You are my friends,” Jesus declared.
“You who keep my commands.”
They wounded Him,
Pierced His flesh,
torn it away from His body.
They bruised Him black and blue
even, spit on Him
and torn out His beard.
He was unrecognizable.
Hate did this unforgivable act.
But LOVE endured to the end with JOY.
With us (the future) in mind
With our Eternity with the Father on His heart.
Christ Jesus was a man focused- Alpha and Omega focused.
He even asked the Father to forgive those who cruelly tortured and punished Him.
Christ has certainly taken upon Himself our suffering and carried our sorrows.
He was despised, yet He still LOVED.
Forsaken, yet forgave.
Chastised for our iniquities.
A man of sorrows, yet love kept His feet moving to the end.
Why? GOD is LOVE.
He had our wellbeing in mind,
our future,
our glory
which is HIS glory.
Christ LOVED us to death
and LOVES us to life- eternal life!
He took the cross for many reasons.
For our health, forgiven transgressions, and well-being.
His goal in the cross was with
our Eternity in mind.
“Whosoever believeth in Him shall have everlasting life.”
Who are His friends?
the one who believes IN Him.
He loves us. Let us appreciate our Lord Jesus
and honor Him now with a simple heartfelt
THANK YOU LORD JESUS.
