A tribulation that proves to be a Messiah
|
2
|
|
[Isaiah
53:5]
But
he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;
the
punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are
healed.
|
3
|
|
Jesus,
the God, came to earth to save us, but people did not accept Jesus.
In particular, the high priests and
scribes were watching the opportunity to kill Jesus.
|
4
|
|
Satan
entered Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus' disciples.
Judas
Iscariot visited the high priest and teachers of the law.
¡°How much can you give me if I let
Jesus catch you?¡±
|
5
|
|
When
they heard the words of Judas Iscariot, they were very pleased.
And
they gave thirty pieces of silver to Judas Iscariot. Judas, who received the
money,
devised a way to hand Jesus over to
them.
|
6
|
|
Judas, who knew that Jesus was praying
in the Garden of Gethsemane,
led the soldiers to go and catch
Jesus. Judas Iscariot greeted Jesus with a kiss.
This was a signal to the military to
let them know who Jesus is.
|
7
|
|
By
the betrayal of Judas Iscariot, Jesus was taken to Caiaphas the high priest
with no guilt,
and
was judged illegally in the middle of the night. Caiaphas asked Jesus to make
a sin,
¡°Are you the Christ, the Son of God?¡±
|
8
|
|
Jesus
spoke of the question.
¡°You
have said so,¡± Jesus replied.
¡°But
I say to all of you, From now on you will see the Son of Man
sitting
at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.¡±
Jesus said that he is the Son of God.
|
9
|
|
The
high priest who did not believe in Jesus as the Messiah tore his clothes and
told people.
¡°This
man blasphemed God. What do you think?¡± ¡°He deserves to die.¡±
Then they spit in his face and struck
him with their fists. Others slapped him.
|
10
|
|
The
next day they accused Jesus to Pilate, the governor.
People
shouted at the words of the agitators.
¡°Hang
him on the cross and kill him.¡±
Pilate was afraid that the Jewish
people, who were shouting wildly,
would cause great uprisings.
|
11
|
|
In
the end, Pilate allowed Jesus to be struck by a rod and then hanged on the
cross.
Jesus
was struck by the Roman soldiers.
Jesus suffered the pain of falling
flesh on every part of His body that was hit by a whip.
|
12
|
|
Jesus
directed the cross to Golgotha, the place of execution.
The
soldiers crucified Jesus with both hands and feet. People say,
¡°If
you are the Son of God, come down from the cross, and I will believe.¡±
They ridiculed and insulted Jesus.
|
13
|
|
Jesus
died after suffering great suffering on the cross.
As
Jesus died on the cross, the earth was shaken and the rocks split.
And the veil of the temple was torn
from top to bottom.
|
14
|
|
Jesus
suffered no sin and died on the cross.
The
Roman soldier pierced his side with a spear to make sure that Jesus died,
and he poured water and blood still
left in his body.
|
15
|
|
Jesus'
suffering and death on the cross prove that He is the Messiah sent by God.
This person has proved that he is the
Savior who will save us.
|
16
|
|
700
years before Jesus came to this land, the prophet Isaiah already prophesied
the Messiah.
The
Isaiah, in which it is written, records what will happen to the coming
Messiah.
Together,
read together what is written in Isaiah.
¡°He
was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with
pain.
Like one from whom people hide their
faces he was despised,
and we held him in low esteem.¡± (Is
53:3)
|
17
|
|
¡°Surely
he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by
God,
stricken
by him, and afflicted.¡±(Is 53:4)
|
18
|
|
¡°But
he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;
the
punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are
healed.¡±(Is 53:5)
|
19
|
|
¡°We
all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way;
and
the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.¡±(Is 53:6)
|
20
|
|
Jesus,
who has fulfilled the prophecy of the Bible,
has
come directly to this earth as a human body to save us.
He
took all our sins in order to free us from death and died on our behalf
on
the cross to complete our salvation.
Anyone
who has acknowledged Jesus' death on the cross for me and believes
in
Jesus has opened the way for salvation.
Whenever
we remember this grace of salvation,
let
us also remember the suffering of Jesus and live a life of His word.
