Holy Week – Friday

Holy Week

We are not exactly sure at what point Thursday ends and Friday begins, but last night I mentioned the soldiers coming to the arrest Jesus. Even though Jesus went willingly, He was illegally bound. It was illegal because He had not been convicted. In fact, He hadn’t even been formally charged. 

Both the Jews and the Romans were very strict about their rules but over the next few hours they would break 43 specific laws. Jesus was condemned despite never being convicted or formally sentenced.

The soldiers stripped Him and placed a purple robe and crimson cloak around His body. They then scourged Him. This act was generally done to get the truth out of someone or to punish them, but Jesus’ punishment was death. The tool they would have used had a short handle with leather strips. Some of the strips would have had metal stones, a lead ball, rocks, or glass attached to the end. Jesus would have been bound to a stake while they beat Him. We do not know for sure how many times Jesus was lashed but we do know His flesh was ripped, He was bleeding, and He was in excruciating pain. 

The soldiers then placed a crown of thorns onto His head. This would have caused great pain and suffering. They put it on and took it off several times. They placed a reed in Jesus’ right hand and bowed to Him pretending to worship Him. They spit on Him and slapped Him repeatedly.

The soldiers changed His clothes again, which would have been very painful, and gave Him a cross to carry. 

He would then be nailed to this cross in such a way to suspend His body by the arms resulting in a slow suffocation. He was probably tied to the cross first so that they could place the nails in His hands. The nails would have been made of iron and been 7-9 inches long. They would have first been driven through wooden disks to avoid the heads going through His flesh. A 3rd nail would have been driven through both feet and hammered inside His Achilles tendons.

A sign was placed above His head on the cross to mock Him, which read “This is Jesus of Nazareth – King of the Jews”. 

Jesus suffered greatly…and He did it for you.

The Psalms video is LIVE! The books of Psalms is The Psalms video is LIVE!

The books of Psalms is a beautiful collection of poetry that you can turn to regardless of what you’re going through to find advice, encouragement, and relief.  It is so much more than simply a collection of inspirational prayers and songs though.  Watch today’s video to see how its organization also has a deep purpose.

If I had to choose my favorite miracle, it would b If I had to choose my favorite miracle, it would be the feeding of the five thousand.  It was one of only two miracles recorded in all four gospels and so many people were there to witness it that it helped spread the news of Jesus quicker than any other miracle. Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:16 we should, “let our light shine before others, that they may see our good deeds and glorify our Father in Heaven”. By Jesus feeding the five thousand (probably closer to 15,000 if you count women and children), we are shown that He cares about our basic needs as well as our spiritual ones. He shows compassion on us and understands our suffering. The people could have left to get their own food, but they didn’t. They chose to sit, hungry, to hear the Word of God. This is a great illustration that we can depend on God to provide for our physical needs if we are putting Him and His Word first in our lives. I believe this is one of the things humans struggle with the most. We want to figure out how to supply our own needs and often put Jesus on the back burner to do so. Of all the men present, it was a child who brought his lunch to Jesus. I find it hard to imagine that no one else brought something to eat. Most likely no one else believed that what they had was enough, so they did not offer anything. This shows us the importance of child-like faith, but also the idea that God wants what you have to offer, no matter how small it may be. Lastly, when everyone was done eating there were twelve baskets of leftovers. One for each of the disciples. Jesus told the disciples to take the baskets with them onto the boat while He went to pray. He wanted them to have a reminder of what He did for them, just as He wants us to never forget. All around us we can see miracles if we just open our eyes. Jesus touched and transformed a lot of people during His time on earth, but that did not stop when He joined His Father in Heaven. After performing this miracle, the people tried to crown Jesus as the King. They misunderstood what His purpose was. This still happens today when we focus on the physical things Jesus can do for us instead of the greatest one of all: salvation.

We serve an amazing God who shows us His tremendous power over and over throughout the Bible.  This is especially evident during the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ.  Approximately thirty-five specific miracles were documented in the four gospels, although John tells us in John 21:25 that, “Jesus did many other things as well.  If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” Of the thirty-five we know of, choosing the most important one is incredibly difficult.  Every single word in the Bible has meaning, just as every single miracle served a great purpose.
