The Lamb of God: Pure in Suffering, Glorious in Resurrection

The Lamb of God: Pure in Suffering, Glorious in Resurrection :-

And it came to pass that the Lord Jesus, the Holy One of God, was delivered into the hands of sinners. They scourged Him, they mocked Him, and they placed upon His shoulders the burden of the cross. And as He went forth to Golgotha, He fell to the earth, for His strength was spent and His flesh was torn.

Dust and blood mingled upon His sacred body, and His form was marred more than any man. Yet in all this, He opened not His mouth in complaint, but bore the reproach as a lamb led to the slaughter.

The Roman soldiers did mock Him, and the people reviled Him, crying out with cruel voices. Yet He, in the agony of the cross, lifted His voice not in wrath, but in mercy, saying, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34).

Though the sins of men defiled His outer frame, His inward being was without spot or blemish. For He was the Lamb without sin, the Righteous One, in whom was no deceit. The body was bruised, but the spirit was holy; the flesh was pierced, but the soul was ever pure.

Behold the mystery: the sinless bore the sins of many, and the pure was numbered with the transgressors. Yet death could not hold Him, nor the grave keep Him. For it was not possible that He, the Holy One, should see corruption (Acts 2:27).

And on the third day, He rose again, according to the Scriptures. His resurrection was the seal of His divine purity. The righteousness that was in Him from eternity triumphed over death, and through Him, many shall be made righteous.
