j g bellettThe Moral Glories of Our Lord -  A devotion regarding the Moral Glory in the character of the Lord Jesus.  All of his life went up to God as a sacrifice of sweet savour. Every expression of Himself in every measure, however small, and in whatever relationship it was rendered, was incense to his father.  Whatever Adam lacked, the Lord fulfilled completely in his perfect life.  J G Bellett was a brother from the United Kingdeom who wrote his works in the 1800's. 
Sunday School Lesson 727 Jesus Crucifixion Death and Burial Print E-mail

Lesson: 727 Lesson Name: The Crucifixion, Death & Burial
Theme: Christ the Substitute

Reading: Mk 15:20-47  Mt 27:27-66 Lu 23:26-56 Jn 19:16-42

Memroy Verse: Luke 23:33
Memory Verse Text: When they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him.

Point 1: Scourged, stripped, crowned with thorns beaten down, mocked, taunted, ridiculed with a robe and a reed, spitten upon and smitten - there in my place, condemned He stood.
Point 2: Simon is made to support the trailing part of the cross that the Saviour bore. Golgotha, Calvary - the place of a skull - what a scene. Know before of and anticipated by God,  it was now destined to be a place that all would look back to forevermore.
Point 3: They crucified Him, the soldiers shared His garments and gambled for His handwoven vesture. They watched Him. They mocked Him. They said "He saved others (and the word they used for others meant others like himself) - there was no one like HIM. Himself He could not save for there was no other way that we could be delivered.
Point 4: Darkness - that's all the NT tells us about his suffering at the hand of God for our sin. The Prophetic Scriptures tell us of the horror of those hours and the NT later reveals all it's wondrous blessed purpose.

Summary: There they laid Him. But this is not the end of the Story. They had silenced His voice but they will hear it again. They had crucified the Lord but they will never treat Him that way again.
