Word of Hope for Today by Bro. Rolly

The Amazing Easter!
‘…Like a
lamb to the slaughter…’ Isaiah 53:7 NIV
Today’s Insight
Journalist-missionary Pierre van Paassen tells how
prior to World War II, Nazi soldiers arrested an aging rabbi, stripped him
naked, and demanded that he preach the sermon he’d prepared for the following
Sabbath. With great dignity the old man asked if he could wear his yarmulke and
his captors agreed, thinking it added greatly to the joke. Then, while they
jeered and prodded him, the elderly rabbi talked about what it means to walk
humbly before God.
Phil Yancey writes: ‘When I read of the torture and
execution of Jesus, I think of that naked rabbi standing humiliated in a police
station. And I can’t fathom the indignity and shame endured by God’s Son…the
bullying game of Blind Man’s Bluff in the high priest’s courtyard…the
professional thuggery of Pilate’s and Herod’s guards…the catcalls of spectators
up the long road to Calvary, and finally the cross itself…I marvel at the
self-restraint God showed throughout history, allowing the Genghis Khans, the
Hitlers, and the Stalins to have their way. But nothing compares to the
self-restraint shown that dark Friday in Jerusalem…Legions of angels awaited
His command. One word and the ordeal would end.’
Isaiah said, ‘He was “led like a lamb to the
slaughter, and…He did not open his mouth.”‘ Jesus could have appealed to His
Father, and He would have provided ‘more than 80,000 angels’ (Matthew 26:53 AMP).
Instead He chose to endure the cross and its shame to save you. That’s the
amazing did by Jesus and the wonder of
Easter!
