Luke 9:32-33
He will be handed over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him and spit on him; they will flog him and kill him.
At this stage, the disciples of Jesus should be getting concerned.
How can Christ be speaking and painting such a heartbreaking graphical picture.
No wonder Peter pulled him aside and began to rebuke him not to speak like that.
For the description Christ put across was a treacherous blueprint of the kind of journey he was about to embark on.
Beloved, to talk about the journey to calvary is to relive the unimaginable, excruciating and incomprehensible pain, a sinless man had to go through.
Christ itemised the progression of his suffering like turning the pages of a novel.
Listen, we celebrate a great salvation received but the price was really expensive.
Our sins handed him over to Gentiles to be mocked, insulted, spat on.
He whose presence is dreaded and revered by angels was mocked by ordinary man.
God, the immortality who dwells in unapproachable light, was spat on.
When he spat, his spittle brought healing but the spat of men condemned him.
Clothed in wickedness, men out of the abundance of their hearts hurled insults at God.
Can you imagine?
But God allowed God to go through this that God can reconcile God with man.
Beloved, these are moments for us to engage reflectively to with grateful hearts approach God who suffered disdain for our intended ordain.
Thank you Lord for calvary
