A loud voice
Robert MORTON
The Life of Jesus; read today: Jesus cries out; Matthew 27:50; Mark
15:37; Luke 23:46
BBE: Matthew 27:50. And Jesus gave another loud cry, and gave up his spirit.
I will admit that what I am typing today is not original, I heard it
in a sermon yesterday and the church I attend.
Stop and think about things for a few minute and you can see something
unique in this verse. Jesus cried out in a loud voice. A man who was
about to die would not cry out with a loud voice, he would barely talk
at all.
Jesus was in full control of the time that He was about to die. It is
said that this was the time of the Passover lamb sacrifice and the
timing, if accurate, was important, but more important was the fact
that Jesus was in control. Too often I have read this and thought that
Jesus died at a point when His body could take no more. Further fact
that Jesus chose to die for me.
Read for next time: "Into Thy hands I commit my spirit."; Luke 23:46
