19:17. And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called [theu Place] of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha,
19:18. where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center.
19:19. Now Pilate wrote a title and put [it] on the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
19:20. Then many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, [and] Latin.
19:21. Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘He said, “I am the King of the Jews.” ‘ “
19:22. Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
19:23. Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece.
19:24. They said therefore among themselves, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: “They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.
THE MESSAGE:
The climax of Christ’s most painful sacrifice for mankind is His crucifixion on the Cross. Jesus was hanged and crucified between two justly condemned criminals though He was not guilty of any wrong doing Himself. Even Pilate, having earlier examined Jesus, observed that there was no evidence of any wrong nor were there lawful witnesses against Him, rightly declared Him guiltless and was ready to acquit Jesus but for the forceful demand of the Jewish leadership and Pilate’s weak moral strength. Christ was unjustly crucified on our behalf to bring us eternal justification that gives us a righteous standing before God. We could not have been righteous before God otherwise.
Christ’s righteousness is seamless and total, symbolised by His seamless dress which teaches us the lesson that like Him, our righteousness should not be a “cut and join” type, but a consistent, unbroken and wholesome type that reveals the grace of God in the life of the believer. God expects us to wear a seamless dress of Christ’s righteousness as we walk with Him and work for Him.
PRAYER: Dear Father; please help me to live a wholesome righteous life daily, Amen
