It must have felt like
the very end for Christ's followers as they saw His badly beaten and bloodied
body on the cross. After all, they had
just watched the man that they knew as the Son of God and Messiah be mocked,
spat on, and tortured by the Roman Officers.
Any hopes for a Savior seemed to be over. I can only imagine Christ looking down with love on His
creation that had persecuted Him, as He said, “It is finished.” Little did everyone know that what He really
meant was that it was not over and only just the beginning.
But God demonstrates his own
love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8,
NIV).
