THE WITNESS' OF HIS DEITY, DEATH, BURIAL AND RESURRECTION!
THE MIGHTY CONQUEROR! THE LORD JESUS CHRIST β£οΈπ₯π
24 Many were witnesses of His day. And at His cross when He was dying, the Pharisees, they should know what the Word said. The Word gave witness when He was killed on.... He was a Passover Lamb, killed at the Passover time. He gave witness. The Word spoke of Him. When He healed the sick, when He raised the dead, when the lame leaped like an hart, It was the Word. Oh, my. Can you receive it?
It was the Word giving witness that this is He who's been promised to the world: the Saviour, the Messiah. It gave witness to His Deity, that He was more than a man the night that the seas hushed itself and rocked away, like a crying baby hushes in its mother's arms. When He said, βPeace, be still.β, it was giving way, nature testifying that He is Deity, none other than the Creator Himself, not a mere man, not a prophet, but God manifested in flesh. He was God.
25 All nature today gives witness to Him. Watch the sun set in the evening, giving witness to His death. Watch it rise in the morning, giving witness to His resurrection. Watch the flower die in the wintertime, giving witness to His death. Watch it rise in the spring, giving witness to His resurrection. Watch all nature. The nature and the Bible harmonize perfectly together as a witness.
When He was hanging on Calvary, how the Jews ought to have known. When the Romans started to break His legs and broke it not, it was the Word giving witness that there wasn't a bone in His body was broke. When they looked upon Him, and seen the parting of the flesh in His hands, and in His feet, and a pierce in His side, it was the Word giving witness: That's the Son of God. That's the sin offering. That's the Lamb that takes away the sin of the world.
26 When He was dying, He gave witness that He was dying. He died so, until the sun gave witness that He was dying ... that He was dead. It failed to shine. Its smaller brother, the moon, gave witness. If you study the Bible and realize at that time of year, the moon and the sun are both shining at the same time. And the moon would not shine, because it gave witness that He was dead.
Still the lesser brother, the stars gave witness that He was dead. The sun had hid its face and blushed from the sin of men on the earth that God had created, who had mistreated their Creator in such a way. It blushed itself to darkness and hid its face. Its brother, sun and moon, stars would not shine, because it witnessed He was dead. And the earth itself gave witness that He was dead; it had a nervous prostration, until a shiver run over its back, until the cartridges out the great mountain shook loose. A chill run over it, but the very Creator who made it had died for the sins of it on Calvary's cross
