SEE HOW JESUS SUFFERED ON<br />

YOUR BEHALF<br />

The children of Israel were also <strong>to</strong>ld not <strong>to</strong> <strong>eat</strong> the<br />

lamb “boiled at all with water” (Ex. 12:9).<br />

I believe this means we should not water down<br />

or sanitize what Jesus did for us at the cross. Many<br />

traditional movies <strong>and</strong> paintings of Jesus on the<br />

cross depict Him looking very clean, with small<br />

wounds <strong>and</strong> only a few drops of blood.<br />

But that is not what happened <strong>to</strong> our Lord Jesus<br />

at all, <strong>and</strong> such images are whitewashing what He<br />

went through for you <strong>and</strong> me. Because of the<br />

scourging <strong>and</strong> b<strong>eat</strong>ings He endured, the Bible says<br />

that at the cross Jesus’ visage, or face, was beyond<br />

recognition. His form was marred more than that of<br />

any man (Isa. 52:14), <strong>to</strong> the point there was no<br />

beauty in Him (Isa. 53:2).<br />

MEDITATE ON<br />

HIS SACRIFICE<br />

AND DEATH ON<br />

THE CROSS
