Morning Light - Matthew 27

Today: [Matthew 27] The Trial and Death of Jesus: After apprehending Jesus in the garden He is led away to Pilate’s judgment hall. There Jesus is scourged and beaten so badly that He doesn’t have the strength to carry the timbers of the cross to the placed of the skull. The work of redemption is being carried out. The purchase price of our sin is being paid in blood from the body of Heaven’s Spotless Lamb. We stand by in mute witness to the awful scene, knowing it was our sin that necessitated what takes place this day as we look on in dismay.
