Loneliness in the Redemption!

Feb 16

The work of redemption includes loneliness!

Jesus made a decision to take upon Himself the sin of the world. He knew what was ahead, He told the disciples in Matthew 17:22-23*. It wasn’t until the the Garden of Gethsemane when Jesus began to sweat drops of blood in Luke 22:44** that we see the anguish come upon Him. Medical Science tells us blood coming through the pores of a person's skin can happen when a person is expecting extreme stress. Jesus had made the decision to which there was no going back! When all the disciples were found asleep and He was aware that Judas was on the way to betray Him with a kiss (fake sincerity). Next the trail and mocking, beaten and taken through the busiest past of town. Finally to the place of the skull where nails were driven. He was like a lamb to the slaughter. He didn't say a word II Corinthians 5:21.***. The contrast from John 10:30 I and my Father are one. To Matthew 27:45 at noon “darkness covered the land”. After three hours Jesus cried out in Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour (3 pm) Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Jesus’ work of redemption was a complete work as described in Isaiah 53:4-5.****

He paid it all!

Receive today if you are experiencing loneliness or depression. Allow God to fill that place with a renewed purpose for your life.

*Mt 17:22-23(KJV):

17:22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

17:23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.

**Lk 22:44-48(KJV):

22:44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

22:45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,

22:46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

22:47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.

22:48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

***2Co 5:21(KJV):

5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

****Isa 53:4-5(KJV):

53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
