the leou many have written about the chasteness and moderation of the language of the scrip tures xo where is this quality more apparent than in the gtory of the death of christ compared with the techniques of modern journalism or med ieval preaching the biblical records of this event are pros aic and colorless yet they stand among the greatest writ ings o all time and their simple restrained statements have reached to the depths of unnumbered souls the method of the holy spirit is not to bring us to christ by harrow ing our feelings with highly emotional description- the picture which john tauler gives us of the scourging of jesus is in striking contrast to the modesty of scripture here is a sample then they bound him so mercilessly to the pillar that as we read his flesh hid altogether the cords by which lie was bound such was the tenderness and delicacy of his nature more over we find it written that he was so cruelly bound that the blood burst forth from his fingernails and this they did lest he should slip out of their hands for they held him to be a malefactor and an impostor after this these cruel wild beasts like- savage lions inhumanly tore christs fair and holy body for they so scourged it and ploughed it up with wounds and mangled il with rods and all the other terrible scourges they could think of in their envious hearts that he became wholly unlike himself his body be ing all covered with his blood and with gaping wounds it is better to follow the example of the holy spirit in declaring the message of the cross and we can trust him to produce saving results where otherwise there might be only a passing hysteria of pity we shall not forget of course that our lord did suffer in the flesh and we shall do well to arm ourselves with the same mind 1 pet 11 martyr history will not have finis written to it till the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our lord and of his christ rev 1115 verse by verse matt 2732 a man of gyrene simon by name compelled to bear his cross cyrene was a district in north africa where many jews had settled this act of the roman soldiers was a vivid reminder that the jews were a subject people although the chief priests had browbeaten the roman governor to their will verse 33 a place of a skull of the widely varying explanations that which sug gests that the name was de rived from the contour of the hill seems most reasonable and is supported by some aspects of the site proposed by general gordon and called gordons calvary verse 31 they gave him vinegar mingled with gall he would not drink a pungent wine given narcotic quality by the addition of gall or myrrh it was the one humanitarian touch in this barbarous form of execution the wine being supplied we are told by ladies of jerusa lem oui lord faced the ordeal with faculties unimpaired by the narcotic cup verse 35 parted his gar ments casting lots for a fuller account see john 19 23 24 the four soldiers detailed to the task seem to have had this right verse 3g and sitting down they watched him there surely a picture of the callousness which can possess the human heart in face of exquisite suffering eternal issues were being fought out while men gaped like idiots verse 37 this is jesus the king of the jews this was affixed to the up right beam by command of pilate not so much in mock ery of jesus as in retaliation for his moral defeat see john hi 1922 perhaps it even sug gested a superstitious regard for jesus verse 38 two thieves crucified with him so he was numbered with the transgressors isa 5312 verse 39 and they that passed by reviled him wagg ing their heads calvary was on the beaten track so many wayfarers joined the crowd who had come especially for the sight and added their insults wagging the head was asi expression of contempt verse 10 thou that de- stroyest the temple come down from the cross for the reference to the temple see john 2 1s21 and matthew 2001 his claim to be the son of god was the ground on which the jewish court con demned him although they ecured his sentence from the roman power on another core luke 232 verse 41 likewise also the chief priests with the scribes and elders their hatred and malice robbed them of their dignity and they stooped to the despicable revenge of mockerv in the face of uch sufferine vere 42 let him now j come down from the cross jind we will believe him j thing actually rose from the dead they sought every means to supress the truth chap 2s 1115 verse 43 he trusted in god let him deliver him now this quotation from psalm 22 s could scarcely have been studied on the lips of these scoffers rather in their jeer- ing they all unconsciously full filled that prophetic scripture verse 4 j the thieves also cast the same in his teeth that men in the midst of their own suffering would so turn on a fellow sufferer shows the depths of human depravity for the remarkable repentance of one of them see luke 233913 verse 54 truly this was tne son of god the absence of the definite article in the greek has led some to think that the centurion regarded jesus as a son of god in the roman pagan sense the cir cumstances however seem to demand that the phrase be taken as referring to the essential nature of our lord- son of god a similar usage is found in hebrews 12 the heart of the lesson regarded as an act of man the crucifixion of christ is the crime without equal it is as if all the sinfulness of the human race were concentrat ed in one supreme deed of shame true our lord miti gated the blame with a plea of ignorance luke 2331 but even the ignorance was crim inal and culpable in face of the spiritual privileges of the jewish leaders one just has to read the account of the death of christ to sense in spite of all the chasteness of scriptural narrative the very hate of hell in the sadistic cruelty and unfeeling mock- ery of those who pressed in upon the holy sufferer let us not try to justify ourselves by saying that we should have had no part in the deed had we lived back there the very men who sponsored the whole dastardly crime were saying that very thing about the crimes of their fathers in murdering the prophets matt 2s 2932 let us painfully but truthfully confess that we are members of a race capable of murdering the son of god and accept our share of the responsibility every time we disobey god we demonstrate our partner ship with those who slew him but why such submission again and again jesus had walked through the midst of his enemies and they were powerless to touch him when he challenged his arresters in the garden they fell on their faces before him john is 46 he claimed here it is thb new 2 plow cockshutt the most versatile 2piow tractor on the market

he made good his own predic tions and rose from the dead in face of all this it is clear that he could have foiled his enemies and he could have come down from the cross instead he yielded to their hands he submitted to all their cruelty he remained on the cross he accepted all the reviling without answer why such submission because this was more than the act of men it pleased the lord to bruise him isa 53 10 he was submitting not to men but to the will of the father here is peters statement to the jews him being delivered by the deter minate counsel and foreknow ledge of god ye have taken and by wicked hands have crucified and slain acts 223 it was the work of god what was the epitome of human sin was gods answer to human sin what was the ultimate demonstration of njans rebellion against god was the supreme act of gods love for man what rendered that more than twelve legions our race worthy of death and destruction beyond hope of recovery was gods method of obtaining life and redemption for our lost race for in be coming the vicitim of human sin he became the bearer of our sin to put it away in the sacrifice of himself but on this subject one would prefer to write a book
