This day coincides with Thursday April 2, 2015
Crucifixion Thursday-Feast of Unleavened Bread, Matthew 26:47-27:28,
Mark 14:53-15:47 In the next few hours Jesus will undergo six trials all
of them will be a mockery of justice. Jesus will come out of His third
trial just in time to hear the disciple Peter deny a third time to being
a follower of Jesus. A rooster will crow marking the dawn to the
sunrise of a new day. This is the day in which Jesus of Nazareth, the
true and living Son of God, will be despised, rejected of man and
crucified on a wooden cross. This day will be the seventh day of our
journey back and the third feast day, the "Feast of Unleavened Bread"
-the feast of the removal of sin/leaven. Jesus will be despised,
rejected and beaten all of this because of the love that God has for His
own creation and of an ultimate desire to reunite the people that are
rejecting Him back to Himself.
The horrific beating of Jesus foretold 800 years before in the book of Isaiah 52:13-53:12 that King Jesus will endure for us, would be a savage fit of mankind's Satanic rage. No person has ever been so savagely beaten as Jesus was that day. It is the kind of abuse that all evil has against all innocence.
Peter will have gone out and wept bitterly for his part in denying Jesus. Peter will not look to himself but will again look to God and experience the total love and forgiveness that God Has for mankind. Judas, who also betrayed God, will not look to God, but instead Judas will look to himself and will find no hope but only despair and in despair Judas will go out and commit suicide.
Jesus is now led to a hill and crucified. It is the same hill that the Jewish forefather Abraham brought his son Isaac to 4,000 years earlier Genesis 22:1-19, to enact out a loving father offering his only beloved son, a parallel to the crucifixion of Jesus and again foretold. Jesus is offered wine mixed with bitter gall to drink but Jesus rejects the bitter wine because He has promised that the next wine He drinks will be with us in Heaven and it will be a sweet cup of Heavenly rejoicing not the bitter cup of this world.
Jesus' first words on the cross Luke 23:34 will be "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do. "Forgiveness. Even as He is rejected, Jesus forgives. We stand amazed as the two thieves being crucified along with Jesus, mock Him. Then one of the thieves turns and says "we are getting our just rewards; but Jesus is innocent". Then one of the thieves says a most remarkable thing. He says "Jesus remember me when you enter into your kingdom" Luke 23:42.
Jesus will remain alive on the cross for six hours, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. At noon, the sky will grow dark Amos 8:9, Matthew 27:45. Jesus will cry out from the cross "My God, my God why hast thou forsaken Me?" Psalm 22:1-31, Matthew 27:46. At 3:00, Jesus will give a victory cry and proclaim "It is finished" John 19:30. At that point, darkness covered the land. A little later, as Jesus gave up his spirit, an earthquake shook the ground, ripping the Temple veil in two from top to bottom. Matthew's Gospel records, "The earth shook and the rocks split. The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YqHGFtnMOI
