‘It Behoved [THE] CHRIST To Suffer’ (Luke 24:46)
Words to Ponder
As It was written in THE LAW [GENESIS, EXODUS, LEVITICUS, NUMBERS and DEUTERONOMY]:
‘Thou [Lucifer], shalt bruise HIS Heel’ (Genesis 3:15b)
As It was written in THE PROPHETS [JOSHUA, JUDGES, 1 & 11 SAMUEL and 1 & 11 KINGS (The Former Prophets) and ISAIAH, JEREMIAH , EZEKIEL and THE TWELVE (HOSEA, JOEL, AMOS, OBADIAH, JONAH, MICAH, NAHUM, HABAKKUK, ZEPHANIAH, HAGGAI, ZECHARIAH and MALACHI (The Latter Prophets)]:
‘HE was cut off out of The Land of The Living’ (Isaiah 53:6b)
As It was written in THE PSALMS (THE WRITINGS) [PSALMS, PROVERBS, JOB, SONG OF SONGS, RUTH, LAMENTATIONS, ECCLESIASTES, ESTHER, DANIEL, EZRA & NEHEMIAH, 1 & 11 CHRONICLES]:
‘And after Threescore and Two Weeks shall [THE] MESSIAH be cut off – but not for HIMSELF’ (Daniel 9:26)
So It was fulfilled:
Matthew 26:1 – 27:66
Mark 14:1 -15:47
Luke 22:1 – 23:56
John 18:1 – 19:42

Strange, (or is there a stronger word) how so many still say the bible is rubbish when it has proven itself over and over to be 100 % accurate over thousands of years. “Non so blind as those who don’t want to see”
Christ died for us!
It is so simple. But one needs to believe it and confess it for oneself. Unfortunately, too hard for some!
None so blind? Gibber! Gibber! Chugley
Yes…it’s all about Jesus from the beginning in Genesis, right through to Revelation.
That word “behoves” tells us that this problem of “sin” is so ingrained and deadly to our beings that Jesus (as God in the flesh) “set His face” to willingly and obediently be “crushed”, “cut off” and “suffer” to provide a way back to the love of our Father-Creator. It “behoved” Jesus as His God-appointed duty and responsibility to do the only thing that would save Mankind….His death and resurrection.
Thank you Mrs Chugley for these verses to remind us!
Thak you Paul for these encouraging words! Gibber! Gibber! Chugley
