This is devotional thought number 8 in our devotional series titled, “The Faith I Live By”
“When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.” (Matthew 27:1–2).
Chief priests? Elders? They conspired to kill Jesus? Jesus was bound so we could be free! I said, “Jesus was bound so we could be free!”
As many around the world consider the sacrifice of Christ today, I would like to share a few thoughts on a passage we seldom pause to read, in the grand scheme of the storyline. I find it curious that the so-called spiritual leaders of God’s people were embroiled in a plot to murder the Creator of life. Irony! They conspired to murder the One who came to deliver them from the second death. They encitied the people to call curses upon their own heads, and those of generations to come because they allowed pride, willful ignorance, and an unwillingness to surrender their wills to God, to blind them. They bound the One who willingly submitted Himself to set the captives of this earth free.
We all need to be asking ourselves how we see the Savior of the world; especially those of us who claim to love God. How do people like me, who are esteemed as “leaders” of God’s people, treat the Son of the Living God (Blessed be His Name)? Do we value the humility of the Son? Do we give thanks for His self control when they scourged, disrespected, and disregarded Him; when all He really wanted to do was share the Father’s love and deliver us from sin?
Our lifestyle choices reveal the truth about these answers. We may not stage a public execution in 2019, but do we thank God for His goodness, confess His name among our associates, live according to Bible principles, submit to the will of God as He gives us strength? If you answered “yes” to these questions, praise the Lord! If any of us answered “no,” we need God to soften our hearts so we do not crucify Christ and put Him to an open shame (Hebrews 6:6). Lord help us all appreciate the blessing of the sacrifice of Christ.
By God’s grace, this is the faith I live by, let this be the same for you, in Jesus’ name.—L. David Harris (http://bit.ly/BQuotable)
