Zone1 The Cross: Four aspects of Christ and his suffering.

[OneIsTheWord]

​

(1) physical suffering by the hands of men, tied Jesus to post and whipped down and scorn by men for six hours non-stop after they fashion a crown and trusted upon his head, then tried by his people, and sentenced to death, he carry his cross about 3 hours across a road call by Via Dolorosa (Latin for Way of Grief or Way of Suffering) at 9 am begin to put him on the cross.

(2) physical suffering, at stretched him on the cross, drove stakes into his hands and feet, and then crucifixion, was a death of slow suffocation, every time he wanted to breath the pain in his wrist and hands, then his feet once he could no longer use the wrist and hands. From the tip of his fingers to the tip of his toes and all in between, he felt the horrible pain of crucifixion at noon.

(3) All the guilt for all the sins of all his elect, God the Father said, he bore our sin in his body and said that Jesus Christ on the cross became the object of God’s judgment and punishment. On top of that, he took our shame, guilt, sins, complaints, selfishness, pride, and every drop of our faults. We are just one of these persons; multiply the guilt, shame, sins, etc. by a billion people, and you and I could never begin to acknowledge it. The crucifixion was not just a man dying; it was the son of God, who hated sin, had no part of sin, and was bearing the guilt, the awesome, powerful weight of all of the elect.

(4) part of his suffering was the fact that those he loved, the disciples which he ate, slept and taught with, he shared the revelation of the truth of God with them, things no one had ever heard, here he was crying out to his Father on the toughest night, if it be your will let this cup pass over me, the disciples fell asleep in his moment of need. When he was hanging on the cross, he said 12 hours, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me, and 3 hours in hell. It was bad enough he was abandoned by his friends, but abandoned by his heavenly father, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me? He knew why he came: to give his life as a ransom for many and bring those out of hell. When God saw him, he saw him as sin, the sin bearer. All the judgment of God came upon Jesus. All that God saw in Jesus was pure sin. All the judgment of God came on sin that he had hated so much; the wickedness of sin poured down his fury came upon him.
The object of God’s hatred and animosity.

(5) All the sins stored up all those years from time passed to very president, and the future God, in all his fury and hatred of sin, came up on the Lord Jesus Christ, he punished Jesus for your sin and my sin. Everything God the Father hated about sin he punished Jesus with, wave after wave of God’s wrath, wave after wave of God’s judgment, then it subsided, and Jesus said it was finished. The final sacrifice, the atonement of the son of the elect. Suddenly it was over, and then Jesus said, Into thy hands I command my spirit, There is no death like the death of Jesus, no one ever bore the weight of our sin or the wrath of God as he did. The grace of God the Father. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
