THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 83: It is Finished |
|
|
The crucifixion of Jesus by itself did not pay for
the sins of the human race; instead, it was the platform by which
God the Father poured out His wrath. The transfer of sin took place
once the God-man had been crucified. Then, the sins of humanity –
from Adam to the last man – were transferred to Jesus. God the
Father did not want mankind to witness what was taking place and
Judea was plunged into darkness from noon to three p.m. The pent-up
wrath against sin slammed into Jesus like a spiritual freight train
and He was mercilessly judged for the sins of mankind. This
three-hour window is when the atonement took place. It was pure hell
until the divine wrath was expended. Then at the end when God the
Father cut the spiritual link to Jesus, the response was immediate
and visceral and the onlookers’ thought the God-man was crying out
for Elijah. The Son of God redeemed humanity. It cost us nothing,
but God the Father watched as Jesus became the vilest person on
earth. |
