Flogging - Dr Lilian Stanley

Flogging - Dr Lilian Stanley

26Jan23

Do you know what it means to be flogged?  The Jews limited their flogging to 39. But the Romans had no limit. The Romans were more cruel than the Jews.  The Romans used a leather whip that had thongs laced with sharp pieces of iron or bone.  According to ancient writers, sometimes during flogging, the victim's bowels would come out or bones exposed. Why was there a need to flog a man who was to be crucified?  Just to torture him.  God judged Jesus Christ for the sins of the world that came upon Him.  But for that we would be flogged for our sins.  Let us fall prostrate at His feet for taking our flogging on Him.

Through The Kidron Valley - Dr Lilian Stanley

  Through The Kidron Valley      The Kidron valley was the dump - yard for Jerusalem in its outskirts where ashes, dead bodies and broken idols were thrown (1 Ki 2:37; 1 Ki 15:13; 2 Ki 23:4,6,12; 2 Chronicles 29:16; 30:14; Jer 31:40).  David and Jesus walked through the valley with a heavy heart (2 Sam 15:23; Jn 18:1).  Both had enemies (Absalom, Judas).  Both were gheraoed by a gang (Absalom's people and Jews).  Both went through the valley singing (Psa 3, Mk 14:26).  Both had supporters (Faithful subjects and Disciples).  Both came back to Jerusalem victorious as kings, David after the war and Jesus after His resurrection.  Both forgave their enemies.         Let us go through our Kidron singing.  God has provided a brook for us there (2 Sam 15:23). Let us follow their example.  God will turn our mourning into dancing.
