LENTEN MEDITA TION (Rev. Stacy F. Shaw) (Union Chapel U. B. Church) “THERE THEY CRUCIFIED HIM... ” LUKK 23:33 Jesus said. "As Moaea lifted up the aerpent In the wlldemeaa even so must the Bon of man be lifted up: that whosoever helleveth In him ahould not perish. hut have eternal life." (John 3:1415) He alao aald. "And 1. If I be lifted up from the earth, jvlll draw all men unto me." (John 12:3!). "And when they came to the place, which la called Calvary, there they crucified him ..." I Luke 23:33). He waa crucified between two robbera and on the very croaa which Barabbas. the leader of the robber band waa to have been crucified. Verily He waa numbered with the tranaareaaora. That day at that place Jeaua Christ waa made a curse, for "Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.” But. praise God. He waa made a curse for ua. He waa there tn our place He was there with no sin In Him, hut our ain was upon Him "The Lord hath laid on Him the Iniquity of us all." (Isaiah 53:«). Yea. He was lifted up from the earth and He took with Him all men with their sin to that cross. Yes. He was lifted up as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, and whosoever will believe in Him shall not perish but have eve.’.aatlng i lite. Truly, He died for our sins according to the scriptures.
