My God, my God. 3/18/15

Day 77 - Reading the New Testament in one year.
https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/dramatized/niv/Mark.15


Mark 15:26-47

26 The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews.

27 They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. [28] [a] 29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30 come down from the cross and save yourself!” 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

The Death of Jesus
33 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[b]

35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”

36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.

37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.

38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died,[c] he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”

40 Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph,[d] and Salome. 41 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.

The Burial of Jesus
42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 45 When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where he was laid.

March 18th Free from care and secure 

“In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely; now this is His name by which He will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.” JEREMIAH 23:6
The Lord as our righteousness is mentioned in the Old Testament in several passages. These verses clearly reveal that Christ the Lord is our righteousness. They also reveal that we have been transferred out of the source of ourself into the Lord Himself as our “Branch of righteousness” (Jer. 23:5). When the prevailing condi- tion among God’s people is that the Lord is their righteousness, they will dwell safely. The Hebrew word for “safely” includes the thought of absolute security to the point of our feeling free from care. We are free from care in the sense that we do not worry or feel anxious about anything. When the Lord is your righteousness, you are secure. It is like going to sleep at night peacefully because your security system is on. You are released from taking anxious thought. In the same way, when we know the Lord is our righteousness, we are safe and secure. We are free from care in a good sense. We are no longer preoccupied with our condemning self, with all its thoughts and morbid introspection. Praise the Lord, we have been delivered from that realm. We have been transferred out of the source of our self into THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
