Incarnation to Resurrection
Incarnation to Resurrection
Incarnation to Resurrection roughly three and one-half
years, in 12 weeks, Sunday through Friday (six days) per week
Day Eighty-one (a) of Eighty-four:
On this day* (tradition says it was a
Friday, we call that “Good Friday”*), between the third and sixth hours (the
hours of 9:00 o’clock am and 12:00 o’clock noon) some c.~ One Thousand Nine
Hundred Ninety-one (+/- six) years ago, the LORD Jesus the Christ / Yeshua Ha
Mashiach (Rabbi Yeshua bar Yosef) was led out, following hours of anguish,
abuse and well really torture, even carrying His own device of execution, the
timber for His cross. The burden was so
great, that even a man of full strength (one not sleep-deprived, who had not
been beaten for nearly a day straight; one for whom brutal task masters had not
turned the flesh on his back, shoulders and the backs of his legs into
veritable raw hamburger) would struggle under the burden. Under this burden, Jesus’ legs, torso weakened
from the torture began to falter. The
soldiers compelled a passerby, one Simon of Cyrene, to pick up Jesus’ cross,
and carry timber to - Golgotha, “Place of a Skull”, “Skull Hill” or “Calvary”
as it’s referred in Luke 23:33 KJV.
Once at the
execution site, Jesus’ battered (beaten-to-an-almost-unrecognizable-state) body
was skilfully laid out of over the cross where His hands and feet were brutally
nailed to the wood. Our Lord Jesus was offered wine, mixed with
gall, but when He tasted it, Jesus refused it. Once crucified, Romans soldiers cast
lots, and divided His garments among themselves.
Local passersby also mocked the, “King of kings”, jeering - “Ha! You who are going to ‘destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days’, save Yourself climb down off that stake!” Similarly the Chief, or High Priests, Teachers of The Law, Scribes (ruling Kohanim, along with the Torah Scholars) joined in the carnival of mocking Jesus crying:
“He saved others,” they scoffed, “but He can’t save himself, Ha!”

‘So, He’s King of
Isra’el, is He? Let Him come down now
from the stake! Then we’ll believe Him!” and
“He trusted in G-d;
let G-d now deliver Him, if G-d will have Him; for He said: ‘I am the Son of G-d’.”
Blood dripping
from His brow, rolling down His cheeks, saturating His beard, and dribbling
onto His chest. All with a sign above
His head proclaiming - INRI! - Matthew 27:32 - 44 and Mark 15:21 - 32
And that right
there ^ ^ ^ that, my friends, is… from
a purely human perspective, perhaps the single darkest hour, to date, in human
history!
We’ll leave reading the rest of the text for you individually.
I’ve taken the liberty of assembling a weekly chart of daily readings to cover the chronology

“No Jesus, NO peace” and yet, “Know Jesus, KNOW peace”
How does one get to “know” Jesus? Simple, invite Him into your heart, as Jesus
says: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and
opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” [Revelation 3:20 NIV]
How can be assured that this Jesus stuff means anything? Well because the Bible tells us so, as the
Apostle Paul wrote:
“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is
Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be
saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it
is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” [Romans 10:9-10 NIV]
And for those of you who say to me, I
can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or “it’s a waste of my
time”, may I draw your attention to what the Bible says about wisdom: “The fear
of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is
understanding.” [Proverbs 9:10 NIV]
If nothing else, PLEASE read two chapters
from the Bible – (don’t own one, sorry NO excuse, if you’re reading this, you
can access this: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203:16&version=NIV) John 3 and John
14!
John 3:16 says: “For God so loved the
world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not
perish but have eternal life.”
And John 14:6 says: “Jesus answered, “I am
the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through
me.”
Well that’s it, that’s Da Bauz’s Take on, “Incarnation
to Resurrection, Day Eighty-one of Eighty-four” – this 28th day of March

(Pastor Tim Thomas of “The Shift Downtown) Pastor and Mentor, Mr. Bob (Preacher
Bob) Nash, has said that -
“Jesus was likely born as early as 7 BC, crucified on a Wednesday, and died in
A.D. 33”. Though Preacher Bob, and I may not 100% agree on the 7 BC through A.D. 33
points, four points on this subject we do agree on are:
i) - Jesus was born…
i) - Jesus was born…
ii) - Jesus was
arrested, was beaten, was crucified and did die,
iii) - Jesus is
Resurrected, and
iv) - Jesus has
promised to once again return to, and for, His people
