Matthew 27:32-50
Dear RTB’ers,
Finally, Jesus’ Crucifixion. After all the suffering He had already endured… I guess it’s appropriate that we are reading this on a Friday – for us in our reading, a “Good Friday”.
Jesus’ last words in Matthew’s gospel, My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? (v. 46b) [NOTE: John’s gospel adds one other final phrase, …“It is finished,” (John 19:30b)] Because of Jesus’ death and Resurrection we have never had to repeat Jesus’ words ourselves. God has never ever and will never ever forsake us! His love for us is beyond measure. We can rest in that, with full assurance of that eternal love. Rest in that, in His eternal love.
Blessings.
Fred
