HOLY SATURDAY
April 23, 2011
Matthew 27:50 - 54 (NIV)
And when JESUS had cried out again in a loud voice, He gave up His Spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. The tombs broke open and the bodies of many Holy People who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after JESUS resurrection they went into the Holy City and appeared to many people. When the centurion and those with him who were guarding JESUS saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, "SURELY HE WAS THE SON OF GOD!"
JESUS GAVE UP HIS SPIRIT
Jesus had the power given Him from the Father to lay down His life or take it up again, (John 10: 18). His Spirit was given to Him, His very breath was a gift; on the Cross He gave back to GOD His Spirit/breath. JESUS was in charge of all that happened. JESUS exclaimed in total victory, IT IS FINISHED, and He bowed His Head and gave up His Spirit.(John 19:30).
What was finished? In John 17:4, JESUS is praying to the Father and says, "I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do." On the cross, the work of the redemption was FINISHED. Death is swallowed up in victory.
The result of this victory is that the Veil of the Temple, which guarded the Holy of Holies from being entered by the masses, was ripped in two from the top to the bottom. Now, all could come to the Mercy Seat and receive grace and mercy from the LORD. Now, through the Blood of JESUS, all who come through Him, will be saved. His Blood reconciled us to GOD, HE IS THE ATONEMENT.
It is Finished, the atonement sacrifice has been made, the veil of the temple is torn and all who come by the Way of JESUS will receive total forgiveness of all their sin and be united to GOD FOREVER. JESUS said:
I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE; NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER EXCEPT BY ME.
IT IS FINISHED, COME UNTO ME ALL YE THAT ARE WEARY AND HEAVY LADEN AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST. COME!
