My Pastor preached yesterday on "Seven Sayings From the Cross". It was a very good message, and I think I'll post about it all at a later time, but one thought struck me particularly in the message, and I wanted to share.
Even in the midst of His incredible pain and torment, while He hung on that cross enduring our shame, our torture, the wrath of God for our sin, Jesus reached out.
He reached out to the people who reviled Him, asking God to forgive them.
He reached out to the thief on the cross, comforting him and saying "today you will be with me in paradise".
He reached out to His earthly mother, Mary, ensuring that she would have someone to look after her.
As He hung on that cross, He was still ministering. He was still comforting. He was still saving.
What a wonderful Saviour.
So true.
