● Matt 27:45 . . At noon, darkness fell across the whole land until three o'clock.
To me, those three hours were the most important during Christ's ordeal because that's when God laid into him.
● Isa 53:6 . . All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but The Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him.
● Isa 53:10 . . It was Yhvh's will to crush him and cause him to suffer.
When the light returned, people saw Christ in a condition like you will probably never hear described in an Easter Sunday sermon.
The Romans whipped Jesus to within an inch of his life, slapped him around, crowned him with thorns, and drove nails into his palms and his feet. But that was child's play compared to what God did. By the time those hours of darkness lifted; the Lord's own mother would have trouble recognizing him.
● Luke 23:48 . .When all the people who had gathered to witness this sight saw what took place, they beat their breasts and went away.
Yes, of course they beat their breasts; you know why? Because they were having trouble catching their breath. The extent of the Christ's injuries were so horrific that they could scarcely tell he was the same man.
● Isa 52:14-15 . . there were many who were appalled at him-- his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness --thus will he sprinkle many nations
The below is an impassioned plea heard from the cross.
● Matt 27:46 . . My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Here it is again; this time with some parts that were missing.
● Ps 22:1 . . My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
The Hebrew word for "roaring" is sheagah (sheh-aw-gaw') which means: a rumbling or moan.
In other words: people standing around the cross that day during those three hours of inky dark couldn't see anything, but they could sure hear: and what they heard were the dreadful cries of a man in extreme discomfort.
