Episode 110: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 76

Episode Summary:

And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down. And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. (Mark 15:33-39)

24 I can notice Moses before the great separation time. Before death come to strike the land, God made a way of escape for those who believed: said, “Go out and get a male lamb. Keep it up fourteen days.” Perfect type of Christ. First one from the old mother ewe, must be a male kept up fourteen days to be proved. It couldn’t have a blemish.

Christ, the same thing, first One from the mother, virgin, and was tried… Even Pontius Pilate said, “I find no fault in Him.” No one could find it.

Judas Iscariot said, “I’ve betrayed innocent Blood.”

That pagan wife back there of Pilate, had a dream and sent the—the boy down from the palace. I can see Pilate standing there just ready to pronounce judgment upon Jesus. I hear a horse come running, galloping up there. A boy jumps off and runs up, falls down by the side of the—his master; raised up and give him a piece of paper. He looks at it. I can see his face turn white, knees go to flopping together. Let’s look over his shoulder and see what it says.

25 It coming from a heathen now. Said, “Have nothing to do with this just Man. For I’ve suffered many things today in a dream because of Him.”

I tell you. Every enemy had to testify of Him. The moon, stars shut off their glory to that day. That was the Son of God. The Roman centurion said, “Truly, that was the Son of God.”

And he said, “I’ve betrayed innocent Blood.” Hallelujah. Yes, sir. He’s God’s provided way tonight.

Here’s… Every man or woman that’s ever had any—done anything for God, has been men and women who’s believed that, held onto it, and kept it. It’s thrilled the hearts of poets through the ages.

When I think of Eddie Perronet back there, what do you think of Christ, Eddie Perronet, when he wrote the—the great song of:

All hail the power of Jesus’ Name!

Let angels prostrate fall;

Bring forth the royal diadem,

And crown Him Lord of all.

26 And I think of Hopkins, after being persecuted and everything, the way he did. He said.

When I survey the wondrous cross

Whereon the Prince of glory died,

I count all my pain to be but loss…
