BEHOLD, JESUS WILL COME BACK QUICKLY

Matthew 27, A man from Cyrene, in Africa Simon was his name and was forced to carry Jesus’ cross. Then they went out to an area known as Golgotha, that is, “Skull Hill,” where the soldiers gave him drugged wine to drink; but when he had tasted it, he refused. After the crucifixion, the soldiers threw dice to divide up his clothes among themselves. Then they sat around and watched him as he hung there. And they put a sign above his head, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.” The chief priests and Jewish leaders also mocked him. That afternoon, the whole earth was covered with darkness for three hours, from noon until three o’clock. About three o’clock, Jesus shouted, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Jesus shouted out again, dismissed his spirit, and died. And look! The curtain secluding the Holiest Place in the Temple was split apart from top to bottom; and the earth shook, and rocks broke, and tombs opened, and many godly men and women who had died came back to life again. The soldiers at the crucifixion and their sergeant were terribly frightened by the earthquake and all that happened. They exclaimed, “Surely this was God’s Son.” FRIENDS, JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD. HE DIED TO SAVE THE WORLD. JESUS WILL COME BACK SOON. Revelation 22:12 behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
