Rend Your Heart

Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity. — Joel 2:13

One of the most amazing things about our God is that he is so gracious and compassionate. This is true even when we've "blown it big time." In fact, when we sin, he longs to forgive and cleanse, not condemn and punish. His grace rushes to greet our genuine heartbreak and heart-change with forgiveness, cleansing, and redemption.

The Death of Jesus

Mark  15:33-41 — Mt 27:45-56; Lk 23:44-49; Jn 19:29-30
  At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.    And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).

    When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”
    Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar,  put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.
      With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.

    The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.    And when the centurion,  who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”
    Some women were watching from a distance.  Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph, and Salome.    In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.

Questions of Jesus

. On Touch

Mark 5:30
And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

. On the Times

Luke 12:56
Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
