At the Crossroads of Sacrifice: Unraveling the Power of Jesus’ Final Cry
Leviticus 16-17; Matthew 27; Psalm 123
I don’t have much to say. In fact, rather than commentary, maybe we would all be better served to stop and look at this. I mean really. To stop and look at this.
Matthew 27 50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.
I’m undone. May we all allow ourselves to be undone by the One who gave it all for love.
That’s all.
Deepening Faith: Reflective Journal Prompts
- Reflect on the moment described in Matthew 27:50, when Jesus yielded up His spirit. What emotions does this evoke in you? How does this moment deepen your understanding of sacrifice and love?
- “I’m undone.” Contemplate a time when you felt spiritually undone or profoundly moved by an aspect of your faith. How did this experience change your relationship with God?
- Consider the concept of being “undone by the One who surrendered everything for love.” How does this perspective influence your daily life and decisions? Write about how love and sacrifice play a role in your spiritual journey.
- In silence and reflection, ponder the weight of Jesus’ sacrifice. What does it mean to you personally? How does this understanding affect your sense of gratitude and your approach to worship?
- Imagine a conversation between you and Jesus immediately after the events of Matthew 27:50. What would you say to Him? What do you think He might say to you? Reflect on this imagined dialogue and its impact on your faith.
