It was necessary for the Christ to suffer. — Luke 24:46 |
No Other Way!
Have you ever had an argument with
God? My friend David did. Although he was a Christian,
he questioned God’s justice in allowing His innocent Son
Jesus to be so cruelly punished on behalf of guilty
people. As David tried to make sense out of Christ’s
horrible death on the cross, he became extremely
agitated. One day as he cried out, “Why?” God comforted
his troubled mind with this thought: It was the only
way!
Peter, one of our Lord’s disciples, had a similar
struggle understanding God’s purposes. He knew that
Jesus was “the Christ of God” (Lk. 9:20), but he rebuked
Him when He began teaching that He would suffer, be
killed, and rise again (Mk. 8:31-32). Peter couldn’t
accept such an injustice happening to the sinless
Christ. In response, Jesus rebuked Peter because he had
unknowingly expressed a satanic outlook. He was thinking
as man thinks, not as God thinks (v.33). Jesus knew that
His death was necessary to provide forgiveness, for
“without shedding of blood there is no remission” (Heb.
9:22).
On the cross Jesus paid the penalty for our sins, but He
did it willingly out of love for you and me. Although
His terrible death was totally undeserved, there was no
other way He could save us. Have you thanked Him today?

Reflect & Pray
One little hour to suffer scorn and
losses,
Eternal years beyond earth's cruel
frowns;
One little hour to carry heavy
crosses,
Eternal years to wear unfading
crowns. —Anon.
God can weave the thorns of life
into a crown of glory.
Jesus died in our place to give us His peace.
