If you knew how quickly people would forget about you after your death, you would not seek in your life to please anyone but God.

John Chrysostom, circa 387

“The wicked flee when no one pursues.” Proverbs 28:1

A guilty conscience creates relentless pursuers.

One final striking moment to share from today’s John MacArthur memorial. When @Mark__Mac shared about being diagnosed with a brain tumor at 18. While they were waiting to discover if it would be cancerous and thus likely terminal, his dad asked him a question – – “are you ready to die, son?”

The world would never understand such a question. They would fail to understand that this was the pastoral care of a father for his dearly loved son. MacArthur could’ve just offered Mark the comforting pablum that the world would expect – – he could have reassured him “you’re going to be fine!” even though he could not be sure that that would be the case.

Instead, he did the infinitely harder and more faithful work of trying to ensure that his son’s soul was prepared for eternity, whatever the hand of Providence would bring.

That is true fatherly love and care. And it was the kind of love and care that shone through in his preaching.

I just have a feeling that RC Sproul was waiting to greet his friend John MacArthur at heaven’s gates as they get back to catching up.

In 1986, The American Medical Association published an article titled "The Physical Death of Jesus Christ". It details the entire process of Jesus' trial to His death on the cross.

In Luke 22, before Jesus is arrested, it is written that He was in great distress & sweating blood. Although rare, it is recognized as Hematidrosis, caused by high amounts of stress.

At the time, the crucifixion was considered the worst death for the worst of criminals. But this is not all Jesus faced. He endured whipping so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. He was beaten so horrific that His face was torn & His beard ripped.

A crown of thorns, 2-3 inches long cut deeply into His scalp. The leather whip used to flog Him had tiny iron balls & sharp bones. The balls caused internal injuries while the sharp bones ripped open His flesh. His skeletal muscles, veins, & bowels we're exposed, causing major blood loss. Most men do not survive this kind of torture. After Jesus was severely flogged, He was forced to carry His own cross while people mocked & spat on Him.

Crucifixion was a process meant to instill excruciating pain, creating a slow & agonizing death. Nails as long as 8 inches were driven into Jesus' wrists & feet. The Roman soldiers knew the tendon in the wrists would tear & break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support Himself to breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the courage..Jesus endured this reality for 3 hours!

The Gospel of John writes that after Jesus' death, a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear & blood & water came out. Scientists explain that from hypovolemic shock, the rapid heartrate causes fluid to gather in the sack around the lungs & heart. The gathering of fluid in the membrane around the heart is called Pericardial effusion & the lungs, Pleural effusion.

To the world, Christianity is as foolish as it can get. They believe it's for the weak. But when you are confronted by the reality of the cross, it's clearly not a pretty sight. It is brutal & horrific.

This is the weight Jesus carried. The weight of the sins of the world, all so that we can live. God's wrath is fully satisfied in Jesus. This is what it took. Repent & believe! Jesus is “God among us” in the flesh. Jesus is our Savior. Jesus loves you so much, He went through this spiritual and physical punishment for your sins and mine.

Jesus is LORD, Almighty God, Everlasting Father.

There’s a thirst and hunger within every human soul that only Christ Jesus can fill.

7 things I’ve learned in 2022:

1. God is still sovereign.
2. Christ is still reigning.
3. The Spirit is still interceding.
4. The church is still essential.
5. Satan is still deceiving.
6. The gospel is still saving.
7. Glory is still coming!
