Revelation of the Spirit - #3 The Crucifixion is so Powerful

As Christian one of the first bible stories you hear is about how God sent His only Son to die for us on the cross. I've heard this time and time again. I've watched the movie the Passion of the Christ. But I don't I've ever had the understanding of what happened that day on the cross in Golgotha.

Jesus was crucified. He fulfilled scriptures that day. He did what His Father sent him to do. He died a selfless death. In John 19:28-30 it says...

"Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, 'I am thirsty.' A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips. When he had recieved the drink, Jesus said, 'It is finished.' With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit."

First point I have is Jesus was human. He was completely man. He was thirsty just as I feel sometimes. He thirsted He felt the way we did. Every whip the ripped open His flesh that day felt like we would have felt if we would've gotten whipped. He bled. He died.

Verse 30 is the most powerful scripture I have ever read. Jesus bowed His head and gave up His spirit. The only thing we have worth anything in this life. Our spirits. Because He gave up his spirit we never have to give up ours. We have eternal life.

This revelation absolutely blows my mind. And my heart is in love. I'm in love with a Savior that gave me the best gift ever. He gave me life. Praise God!

Amen.
