Passion Week #12: BAD FRIDAY: God’s Wrath is INESCAPABLE.
THE REAL JESUS IS THE LAMB OF GOD.
Lifted Up to Save Others: Jesus was “lifted up” as Moses foresaw 1,500 years earlier in Numbers 21.8 (cf. John 3.14) with the brazen serpent. THIRTY-FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
Pierced & Pained: David saw 1,000 years before Calvary that Christ would be “pierced” in His hands and feet, His garments were “divided” and His clothing was won by “casting lots” as Psalm 22.2, 4, 16-18 records. THREE THOUSAND YEARS AGO.
Bruised for Others’ Iniquities: He was “bruised” as Isaiah saw 700 years before in chapters 53.5-6 “for our iniquities.” Cut off for Others: In the 5th Century BC, Daniel 9.24 tells us that the Messiah would “be cut off” as a substitute, not for Himself.
Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection are the supreme expressions of each of God’s attributes: His omnipresent goodness, His omnipotent love, His omniscient wisdom, perfect righteousness, and unfailing mercy. The Cross on which the Lamb of God died is where God had been directing Jesus to go since before Creation.
Though it’s at the end of the Bible, Revelation 13 takes us even before Scripture and creation. Revelation 13 says that Jesus was the lamb slain before the foundation of the world, meaning that the plan for Christ’s death was pre-creation. This is not a good idea, that has gone bad. This is what has been planned from eternity past. The cross alone provides the penitent believer in Christ with the forgiveness of all his sins and the promise of eternal heaven and joy.
This is where God has been taking Him, as well as all redemptive history, since before time began.
