Lesson 2614

(Lesson 2614)(02-17-19) Luke 22:63-71
    “And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? And many other things blasphemously spake they against him. And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.”

   Today’s quote relates the beginning of the torture and humiliation of our Savior. As sad as this lesson is, the fruits of that day will eventually lead to a means of eternal salvation for all who will put their faith in Jesus and what He did for us. Thank God He was willing to suffer that awful time. ~
