Tuesday, 17 February 2026   And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. Matthew 17:3   “And you behold! They appeared to them Moses and Elijah, conversing with Him” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus was transfigured. His appearance changed, becoming dazzling. With that noted, it next says, “And you behold! They appeared to them Moses and Elijah.”   Several things can be gleaned from these words. There is a way of accessing both Sheol and heaven. For example, Samuel was raised by the witch of En Dor in 1 Samuel 28. Moses died, and he was buried. Despite Jewish commentaries that contradict this, it is stated as a fact in Deuteronomy 34.   The location of his grave was unknown, maybe to avoid it becoming a place of idolatry. But more importantly, it was a typological point that when the law is dead, it is no longer to be remembered. Christ's fulfillment of it is the end of the law.   Messengers are seen to come from elsewhere to speak the word of the Lord at various times in both testaments. Unlike Moses, Elijah was taken to heaven in a whirlwind, not seeing death. And yet, he appeared on earth. Thus, the symbolism here is that Jesus has full control of access to both Sheol and heaven and to the living and the dead.   Further, Moses is given as a type of the law. Elijah is given as a type of the prophets. Their appearance with Jesus thus signifies that He is the embodiment of the law and prophets, something He stated both in Matthew 5:17 and then after the resurrection in Luke 24:44. This is also confirmed in Acts 28:23 –   “So when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging, to whom he explained and solemnly testified of the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning till evening.”   Both Moses and Elijah were referred to in the last chapter of the Old Testament –   “Remember the Law of Moses, My servant, Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, With the statutes and judgments. 5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. 6 And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.” Malachi 4:4-6   The people of Israel were told to remember the Law of Moses. This was not an admonition for either Israel after Jesus' coming or something the church is to adhere to. Rather, it was a word to Israel to pay heed to the coming of the Messiah, who was promised earlier in the book of Malachi, as well as throughout the Law of Moses.   Moses and the prophets spoke of His coming, and the people were to remember this and receive Him. In their failure to do so, they received the curse of the law upon their land. Of the appearance of these two, it next says they were “conversing with Him.”   A new word is used, sullaleó, to talk together, and thus to converse. This wasn't just an apparition. Rather, these two, one long dead and the other gone from Israel to heaven hundreds of years earlier, had appeared and were conversing with Jesus. Luke specifically records that the conversation was “of His decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.”   Jesus had told the disciples that He would suffer and die in Jerusalem. Peter rebuked Him because of this. Now, these two are confirming Jesus' words in front of Peter, James, and John.   Life application: The Bible teaches that the dead, until the coming of Christ, will go to Sheol/Hades. To understand that this is doctrinally correct, the sermon from the Superior Word entitled “Where Do Believers Go When They Die? What the Bible Says” should be referred to.   This is upsetting to some who want to believe our dearly departed will suddenly be in heaven, which is based on a misinterpretation of several verses in Scripture. But there is nothing wrong with us being in Sheol. Jesus has full access to it for the departed loved ones. His resurrection from Sheol proves He possesses this authority and power.   Paul confirms that the day is ahead when those in Christ who are in Sheol will be raised. At that time, the victory over the grave will be realized –   “For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: ‘Death is swallowed up in victory.' 55 ‘O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?' 56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:53-57   Let us not be upset about how God has structured and ordained things. Rather, let us rejoice that God has done it at all. We stood on the opposing side when He sent Jesus to restore us to Him. If we get an extended nap in Sheol, we should be grateful that it will not end in an eternal swim in the Lake of Fire. Thank God for Jesus Christ.   Lord God, we confidently await Your return. If it is not before we die, we will rest easily until that day when You raise us to meet Jesus in the clouds. We are content as we anticipate that wonderful day. And Lord, may it be soon! Amen.

Jesse Lee Peterson is a pastor, radio host, and political commentator known for outspoken and often controversial views on religion, gender roles, and social issues. In discussions framed around statements such as “Women Are Beneath Men and the Bible Says So,” Peterson argues from his interpretation of biblical hierarchy and traditionalist theology, presenting a perspective that emphasizes male leadership and structured family roles. His positions generate strong public debate, with critics challenging both the theological basis and social implications, while supporters view his stance as a defense of traditional religious doctrine. His commentary sits at the intersection of faith interpretation, cultural politics, and modern discourse on gender and authority.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Pastor Tom Messer provides a comprehensive teaching on biblical marriage, emphasizing that marriage is both a divine institution (the "doing of God") and a divine revelation (the "display of God"). Pastor Tom Messer addresses the cultural attacks on marriage while affirming that God, not culture or courts, defines marriage. Using Matthew 19, he explores Jesus' teaching on marriage as an exclusive, permanent, priority, and fruitful relationship between one man and one woman. The sermon acknowledges the difficulties of marriage in a fallen world while offering hope through the gospel, emphasizing that marriage is designed to reflect Christ's love for the church. Pastor Tom Messer reminds us all that ultimate fulfillment comes through relationship with Jesus Christ, not marital status.

Training your children is a Biblical mandate. But it's almost become a dirty word in 2026. "How dare you train your children! You're infringing on their liberty as individuals!"

In this episode, we'll convince you briefly why training your kids is necessary (if you still need convincing), and then give you some practical tools and mindset shifts to start actually implementing this. Hit play and get decades of parenting experience in under 20 minutes.

In the beginning God created man in His image, male and female He created them. This is part of the dance of life, but mankind also quickly fell and now struggles and toils with the Genesis curse. The New Testament also brings a fulfillment of all things and a spiritual kingdom, so how are we to understand marriage, dating, divorce and sexuality in a biblical, narrow road way?

This sermon from Pastor Tom Messer addresses the critical question of what the Bible teaches about sin, emphasizing that sin is not merely about breaking rules but about rejecting God's wisdom. Pastor Tom explores how sin is deceitful, destructive, and leads to darkness, while contrasting it with the path of wisdom and righteousness. Drawing heavily from Proverbs, he emphasizes that victory over sin requires cultivating biblical wisdom, guarding one's heart, and ultimately looking to Jesus Christ as the light that overcomes darkness. Pastor Tom really challenges listeners to recognize that sin is actively seeking to destroy them and that they must daily pursue God's wisdom and strength to walk the narrow path toward life rather than the broad path toward destruction.

The Bible tells us to forgive, and many of us truly want to. We agree with it, we believe it, and we've even made the intentional choice to forgive. But what happens when your heart says you've forgiven, but your body still reacts? Too often, Scripture gets used to rush people past pain instead of walking them through healing. In this episode, I'm talking honestly about why forgiveness can be sincere while the pain still lives in your body, and why that doesn't mean you're doing faith wrong.

What governs our lives? This exploration by Pastor Tom Messer from 2 Peter 1:16-21 challenges us to examine the ultimate authority we allow to direct our choices, relationships, and futures. We live in a world where truth feels relative, where social media, culture, and our own feelings compete for control over our decision-making. Yet Scripture presents us with something far more reliable than personal experience or cultural trends—the authoritative Word of God, spoken through eyewitnesses and guided by the Holy Spirit. The passage reveals that Peter, despite witnessing Jesus transfigured in glory and hearing God's voice from heaven, declared something even more certain: the written Word of prophecy. This isn't about dismissing our experiences, but recognizing that our feelings, however real, aren't always right. Culture can tell us what's trending, but Scripture tells us what's true. The invitation here is radical: to bring every area of our lives—our thoughts, finances, relationships, and futures—under the authority of God's Word, not because it's easy or always feels good, but because it's the only foundation that won't shift beneath us. When we combine this submission with the transforming power of the gospel, we discover that obedience isn't crushing legalism but liberating truth that leads us into the life God designed for us.

Trauma. It seems like we hear about it everywhere these days. But what does the Bible say about it? In this episode, Haley and Dustin provide a biblical and lay-level understanding of the basics of trauma – what it is, what it is not, and how it's different from everyday stress and pain. They also explore how trauma can impact us in different ways and also highlight biblical characters and stories where trauma played a significant role—reminding us that pain and suffering are not foreign to the story of God's people. They offer a helpful framework from Dr. Marcus Warner* on how to bring God into your pain.

My life is consumed by anguish and my years by groaning; my strength fails because of my affliction, and my bones grow weak. Because of all my enemies, I am the utter contempt of my neighbors and an object of dread to my closest friends—those who see me on the street flee from me. I am forgotten as though I were dead; I have become like broken pottery. For I hear many whispering, “Terror on every side!” They conspire against me and plot to take my life. But I trust in you, Lord; I say, “You are my God.” My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me.

The Bible says what about salvation?

What does it actually mean to “act like a man” in today’s culture—and how has the Church gotten it wrong? In this powerful conversation on March or Die Show, Jeremy Stalnecker sits down with Joby Martin, founder and lead pastor of Church of eleven22, to unpack biblical masculinity, responsibility, leadership, and the dangerous extremes men are being pushed toward. Joby shares his raw testimony, from a broken home and a life-changing camp experience to planting one of the fastest-growing churches in America and explains why true manhood is rooted in responsibility, service, and love, not passivity or chest-beating hyper-masculinity.

More To The Story: Dan McClellan has spent much of his life learning—and relearning—what the Bible and its authors were trying to tell us. But his years in graduate school also taught him that the way scholars talk about the Bible is much different from how churchgoers discuss it. Several years ago, McClellan began pushing back against what he saw as misguided biblical interpretations online and soon gained a following. Today, he has almost 1 million followers on TikTok who look for his thoughts on topics like the “sin of empathy,” what the Bible says about slavery, or maybe just to see what graphic T-shirt he has decided to wear that day. On this week's More To The Story, McClellan sits down with host Al Letson to talk about the ways people throughout history have used the Bible to serve their own interests, and a time when his own perspective of the Bible was challenged.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy Editor: Nikki Frick |Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonListen: In God We Vote (Reveal)Read: Christian “TheoBros” Are Building a Tech Utopia in Appalachia (Mother Jones)Listen: A Christian Nationalist Has Second Thoughts (More To The Story)Read: The Bible Says So: What We Get Right (and Wrong) About Scripture's Most Controversial Issues (St. Martin's Essentials) Donate today at Revealnews.org/more Subscribe to our weekly newsletter at Revealnews.org/weekly Follow us on Instagram and Bluesky Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Does the Bible actually prohibit same-sex sexual relationships? And if it does, are those prohibitions binding on us today? Ashleigh, Andy and Andrew talk through some of the arguments here, the things we can agree or empathise with in those arguments, and why ultimately we believe in the historic Christian sexual ethic.Resources mentioned and relatedDid Jesus Affirm Same-Sex Sexual Relationships?, Andrew Bunt People to be Loved: Why Homosexuality is Not Just an Issue by Preston Sprinkle Does the Bible Support Same-Sex Marriage?: 21 Conversations From a Historically Christian View by Preston Sprinkle Why Do Christians Trust the Bible?, Andrew Bunt Can Christians Trust What the Bible Says on the Topic of Sex?, Andrew Bunt  Does the Bible Affirm Same-Sex Relationships?: Examining 10 Claims about Scripture and Sexuality by Rebecca McLaughlin What Does Sexuality Have to Do With the Gospel?, Ashleigh HullAnd if this series is raising more questions than it answers, ask us those questions here!

When God's Ways Leave You Confused or Hurting What do you do when God doesn't make sense? When you're praying… trusting… being faithful — yet grief still comes, sickness lingers, finances stay tight, or answers never arrive? In this episode, we wrestle honestly with one of the most difficult and unsettling passages in Scripture — Ezekiel 24, where God tells the prophet Ezekiel that his wife will die and then commands him not to mourn publicly. This episode is for: Christian women walking through grief, loss, sickness, or deep confusion Believers struggling to reconcile God's goodness with painful circumstances Anyone asking, “God, what are You doing — and can I still trust You?” You'll learn what the Bible says to do when God's actions feel confusing or unfair, why God is not a “genie in a bottle,” and how to anchor your faith when understanding feels out of reach. If you're seeking thoughtful, faith-filled clarity around your health or next steps, I offer one-time Health Clarity Sessions for women who want Christ-centered guidance without overwhelm.

How can someone be sure they will go to Heaven when they die? Pastor Greg Laurie reveals that the answers to some of our most pressing questions are found right in the book of Isaiah. Notes: ACTS 8 AND ISAIAH 53 PEOPLE WILL DO JUST ABOUT ANYTHING TO AVOID PAIN. WE WANT THE GAIN WITHOUT THE PAIN. WE WANT THE CROWN WITHOUT THE CROSS. THE TEXT BEFORE US REMINDS US THAT JESUS CHOSE THE WAY OF PAIN- ON PURPOSE. WHAT WE ARE ABOUT TO READ ANSWERS THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS OF LIFE-- HOW CAN A PERSON COME INTO A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD?- HOW CAN ONE BE FREE FROM THE GUILT AND REMORSE OVER THEIR SINS?- HOW CAN ONE BE CERTAIN THAT THEIR SINS ARE INDEED FORGIVEN AND THEY WILL GO TO HEAVEN? ISAIAH 53 IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT CHAPTERS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. THERE IS POWER IN THE MESSAGE OF THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS. WHY IS THE DEATH OF JESUS SO IMPORTANT?BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE SINNED AGAINST GOD AND A PRICE MUST BE PAID, A SUBUSTUTE MUST BE OFFERED. JESUS IS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT CONCEALED, BUT HE IS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT REVEALED. THE BOOK OF ISAIAH OFFERS THE CLEAREST ACCOUNT OF THE DEATH OF JESUS. ISAIAH WROTE HIS BOOK 700 YEARS BEFORE CHRIST DIED.HOWEVER, HE WROTE IT AS THOUGH HE WAS AN EYEWITNESS. IN OUR JESUS AND YOU 2 SERIES, WE HAVE SEEN JESUS IN THE FIRE WITH SHADRACH, IN A WRESTLING MATCH WITH JACOB, AND NOW ISAIAH SHOWS US JESUS AS THE SUFFERER. “THIS CHAPTER IS THE VERY HEART OF THE GOSPEL. IT IS THE BIBLE IN MINATURE.”—CHARLES SPURGEON LET’S START WITH THE TWO DOWNHEARTED DISCIPLES ON THE EMMAUS ROAD AFTER JESUS ROSE. LUKE 24:27 (ESV)BEGINNING AT MOSES AND THE PROPHETS, HE INTERPRETED TO THEM IN ALL THE SCRIPTURES THE THINGS CONCERNING HIMSELF. THE BIBLE TELLS THE STORY OF A MAN WHO WENT TO JERUSALEM, SEARCHING FOR GOD. BUT AS A DIGNITARY, HE RECEIVED SOMETHING VALUABLE, THE SCROLL OF ISAIAH! PHILIP HEARD THIS FOREIGN DIGNITARY READLING ALOUD FROM ISAIAH 53. READ ACTS 8:31 30-35 IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, ISAIAH IS THE MOST QUOTED OF THE OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETS. JESUS AND THE NEW TESTAMENT WRITERS QUOTE ISAIAH AT LEAST 65 TIMES AND HE IS MENTIONED BY NAME 22 TIMES. THE WHOLE GOSPEL IS IN THE BOOK OF ISAIAH:- THE BRUTALITY OF THE WOUNDS INFLICTED ON JESUS. (ISAIAH 52:14)- HIS ABSOLUTE SILENCE BEFORE HIS ACCUSERS (ISAIAH 53:7)- HIS DEATH (ISAIAH 53:8–9)- THE PLACE OF HIS BURIAL (ISAIAH 53:9)- HIS RESURRECTION (ISAIAH 53:10) READ ISAIAH 53:1-3 JESUS WAS ORDINARY IN APPEARANCE. IF JESUS HAD AN INSTAGRAM, HE MIGHT NOT HAVE GONE VIRAL,BUT HE STILL WOULD HAVE GONE TO THE CROSS. IF JESUS WERE HERE TODAY, HE WOULDN’T BE TRENDING, HE’S BE TRANSFORMING. JESUS DID NOT COME FROM THE MARBLE PALACES OF ROME OR THE HALLS OF HEROD. WE OVERLOOK THE ORDINARY PEOPLE IN OUR CULTURE TODAY. WE LIVE IN A CULTURE THAT WORSHIPS THE OUTWARD. PEOPLE SCROLL PAST THE ORDINARY.MOST LIKELY, YOU COULD NOT PICK JESUS OUT OF A CROWD. AT HIS BIRTH, ONLY A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE RECOGNIZED WHO HE WAS,HUMBLE SHEPHERDS, WHO WERE THE LOWEST OF THE LOW AT THAT TIME. JESUS RETURNED TO HIS HOMETOWN OF NAZARETH WHERE HE HAD BEEN RAISED. THEY DECIDED TO KILL HIM AND TOOK HIM TO THE EDGE OF A CLIFF TO THROW HIM OFF.YET JESUS SHOWED HE WAS IN COMPLETE CONTROL. LUKE 4:29 30 (ESV) BUT PASSING THROUGH THEIR MIDST, HE WENT AWAY. PEOPLE WANTED A MILITANT MESSIAH AND THEY GOT A SUFFERING SAVIOR. JESUS WAS EXTRODINARY IN WHAT HE CAME TO DO.ISAIAH 53:3 WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT “JESUS WAS A MAN OF SORROWS?” DOES IT MEAN JESUS NEVER SMILED, NEVER LAUGHED? JESUS SAID, “I TOLD YOU THIS TO MAKE YOU COMPLETELY HAPPY AS I AM.” JESUS WAS HAPPY, APPROACHABLE, AND EXUDED LOVE! 1 TIMOTHY 1:11( NLT)THE GLORIOUS GOOD NEWS ENTRUSTED TO ME BY OUR BLESSED GOD. THAT IS NOT THE VIEW MANY PEOPLE HAVE OF THE ALMIGHTY.THEY SEE HIM MORE AS THE ANGRY GOD OR THE DISINTERESTED GOD. WHEN GOD SEES YOU, HE SMILES. NUMBERS 6:24–26 (NLT)MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU AND PROTECT YOU.MAY THE LORD SMILE ON YOU AND BE GRACIOUS TO YOU.MAY THE LORD SHOW YOU HIS FAVOR AND GIVE YOU HIS PEACE. WE FOLLOW THE LOVING GOD, THE HAPPY GOD, THE SMILING GOD. WHEN JESUS WAS IN GETHSHEMENE HE WAS IN THE DEEPEST SORROW AND PAIN. JESUS KNOWS WHAT IT IS LIKE TO SUFFER. JESUS WAS “A MAN OF SORROWS AND AQUAINTED WITH GRIEF.”ISAIAH 53:3 JESUS DIDN’T JUST SEND US A SYMPATHY CARD FROM HEAVEN, HE SHOWED UP IN PERSON. JESUS UNDERSTANDS PAIN, NOT JUST IN THEORY, BUT PERSONALLY. WHEN YOU GRIEVE, YOU ARE WALKING A ROAD JESUS HAS WALKED. I HAVE LIVED WITH GRIEF, AND IT IS UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE. SORROW PASSES THROUGH YOU, GRIEF MOVES IN AND TAKES RESIDENCE FOR A WHILE. GRIEF IS THE WAVE THAT THAT COMES OUT OF NOWHERE WHEN YOU HEAR A SONG OR SEE AN OLD PHOTO. GRIEF IS NOT NECESSARILY A BAD THING,THE DEPTH OF YOUR GRIEF INDICATES THE DEPTH OF YOUR LOVE. THE BIBLE SAYS, “THERE IS A TIME TO MOURN.” PAUL POINTS OUT, “WE DO NOT GRIEVE HOPELESSLY BUT HOPEFULLY.” GOD UNDERSTANDS THAT GRIEF YOU ARE FEELING. JESUS CAN SYMPATHIZE WITH YOUR SORROW. REMEMBER WHEN YOU ARE GOING THROUGH TIMES OF SUFFERING,JESUS HAS WALKED IN YOUR SHOES. HEBREWS 4:15 (NLT)THIS HIGH PRIEST OF OURS UNDERSTANDS OUR WEAKNESSES, FOR HE FACED ALL OF THE SAME TESTINGS WE DO, YET HE DID NOT SIN. ISAIAH 53 MATTERS TODAY BECAUSE THE ONE WHO CARRIED OUR GRIEFS AND BORE OUR SORROWSSTILL OFFERS HEALING — FOR HEARTS, FOR HOMES, AND FOR A GENERATION THAT’S LOST IT’S WAY. JESUS LOVED US AND DIED FOR US. ISAIAH 53:5 (NKJV)BUT HE [WAS] WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, [HE WAS] BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES; THE CHASTISEMENT FOR OUR PEACE [WAS] UPON HIM, AND BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED. ISAIAH 53:6 (NKJV)ALL WE LIKE SHEEP HAVE GONE ASTRAY; WE HAVE TURNED, EVERY ONE, TO HIS OWN WAY; AND THE LORD HAS LAID ON HIM THE INIQUITY OF US ALL. JESUS WAS NOT AN ACCIDENTAL VICTIM.HE WAS A CONQUERING VICTOR. HOW CAN A PERSON BE MADE RIGHT WITH GOD?HOW CAN THE STAIN OF OUR GUILT AND SHAME FROM OUR SIN BE REMOVED? ANSWER: BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST. WHY DID JESUS HAVE TO DIE? JESUS HAD TO DIE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY TO SATISFY GOD’S RIGHTEOUS DEMANDS. GOD PLAYS BY HIS OWN RULES, AND HIS RULES STATE,“THE SOUL THAT SINS SHALL SURELY DIE.” THE DEATH OF JESUS WAS FORETOLD BY THE HEBREW PROPHETS. MESSIAH WOULD COME, BE BORN OF A VIRGIN IN BETHLEHEM, AND BE CRUCIFIED ON A CROSS. JESUS WOULD SOON SAY THE WORDS OF PSALM 22, “THEY PIERCED MY HANDS AND FEET.” PSALM 22 WAS WRITTEN 1,000 YEARS BEFORE THE FIRST CRUCIFIXION EVER TOOK PLACE. JESUS LIVED IN THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS FROM THE MOMENT HE ENTERED OUR WORLD. FOR SOME, THE CROSS SEEMED LIKE AN ABERRATION, A MISTAKE, A TRAGIC TURN OF EVENTS. IT MUST HAVE SEEMED LIKE THAT FOR THE DISCIPLES AS JESUS WAS ARRESTED AND MURDERED. GOD WAS THE ‘MASTER OF CEREMONIES’ AT THE CROSS. ROMANS 8:32GOD DID NOT SPARE HIS OWN SON BUT GAVE HIM UP FOR US ALL. ROMANS 3:25GOD PUT CHRIST FORWARD…BY HIS BLOOD, TO BE RECEIVED BY FAITH. (ISAIAH 53:10YET IT PLEASED THE FATHER TO BRUISE HIM; HE HAS PUT HIM TO DEATH. GOD WAS PLEASED BY THE REDEMPTION THAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED.HE WAS PLEASED BY THE ETERNAL PLAN OF SALVATION THAT WAS FULFILLED. IN FACT, THIS WAS THE MOST EVIL ACT EVER PERPETRATED BY SINFUL HEARTS:THE SINLESS SON OF GOD, TORTURED, SLAUGHTERED, HEARTLESSLY MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD. AND YET, FROM IT CAME THE GREATEST GOOD OF ALL TIME. CALVARY SHOWS HOW FAR MEN WILL GO IN SIN AND HOW FAR GOD WILL GO FOR SALVATION. AS CHRIST HUNG THERE, HE WAS BEARING THE SINS OF THE WORLD, DYING AS A SUBSTITUTE. TO HIM WAS IMPUTED THE GUILT OF THEIR SINS,AND HE WAS SUFFERING THE PUNISHMENT FOR THOSE SINS ON THEIR BEHALF. THE VERY ESSENCE OF THAT PUNISHMENT WAS THE OUTPOURING OF GOD’S WRATH AGAINST SINNERS. JESUS MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.ISAIAH 53:7 JESUS WAS ARRESTED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AS THOUGH HE WERE A CRIMINAL. WHEN PILATE QUESTIONED JESUS, HE SPOKE A FEW WORDS, BUT NONE IN HIS OWN DEFENSE. THIS WAS ALL DONE THAT WE MIGHT BE FORGIVEN AND COME INTO A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. READ ACTS 8:34–39 THAT IS HOW QUICKLY CONVERSION CAN HAPPEN.IT DOES NOT TAKE YEARS, OR MONTHS, OR WEEKS, OR DAYS, OR EVEN HOURS. JESUS CHRIST DID ALL OF THIS FOR YOU.
