Crucifixion

Happy Monday! This week's devotional is brought to you by our very own Judy Williams!

"Crucifixion"

"Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified.  

So the soldiers took charge of Jesus.

Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha).  

Here they crucified Him, and with Him two others -- one on each side and Jesus in the middle."

John 19:16-17

I have always been fascinated by the spelling of the word "crucifixion."  Why didn't those who decided how to spell this word use "ct" instead of the "x"?  Every time I  look at or just see the word crucifixion I am reminded of the cross on which Jesus died.  

As the "Feast of Unleavened Bread"  approached, Jesus gathered His disciples to celebrate the Passover.  He talked to them about His betrayal and crucifixion.  In just a few short hours He would be led away, tried and crucified.  The gruesomeness of the cross brings the hope of salvation to those who believe.  The writer of Hebrews says it this way:

"But now He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself.  Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people, and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him."  Hebrews 9:26b-28

I am sure someone can explain the "x" but it still remains that it is a reminder of the cross.  So, let us never forget the "x" in crucifixion as a symbol of the sacrifice that Christ made for our salvation.

"Jesus called out with a loud voice, 'Father, into your hand I commit my spirit.'  

When He had said this, He breathed His last."  Luke 23:46
