Jesus Was So Disfigured That He Did Not Even Look Like A Man

Just as many were appalled at You - His appearance was so disfigured that He did not look like a man, and His form did not resemble a human being . . . . Isaiah 52:14

Petrus Van Mastricht on the horrific physical sufferings of Jesus on His way to and on the cross:

Christ's natural death has, first, its beginning, and in this beginning, besides the mortality inborn in him:

1) Weakening, brought upon him externally by various distresses, being led from place to place, the imposition of the cross, and other things

2) That among the disciples, he was betrayed by Judas, denied by Peter, deserted by all

3) He was declared by every kind of person, and especially by the leaders, to be a madman, demoniac, Samaritan, reveler, profane man, impostor, blasphemer, seducer, magician, rebel, and invader from another kingdom; he was rejected by the people, valued less than the worst sort of murderer, and crucified in the middle of two thieves

4) He was stripped of his clothing

5) Furthermore, when he was arrested, he was shamefully dragged from court to court, as if he were a thief

6) He suffered the most unjust judgments, as much ecclesiastical, under the priests Ananias and Caiaphas, as political, under Pilate and Herod the Tetrarch

7) He was mocked, spat upon, beaten, mangled with a thorny crown, first before Caiaphas, then before Herod, and finally before Pilate and his officials and soldiers

8) Furthermore, like a villain, with his body stripped naked, in a place of infamy between two thieves, he endured a savage, shameful, and cursed kind of punishment, preceded also by a thousand insults, by a drink steeped with gall and myrrh, and by a sarcastic inscription on the placard

9) Finally, he suffered in all the parts and members of his body: his ears were filled with mockeries, his head battered with a reed, and lacerated with thorns, his body scourged, his mouth given vinegar and gall to drink, his face disgraced with spit, his shoulders burdened with the wood of the cross, his side pierced, his arms extended over the cross, his hands and feet affixed to the cross with nails, his blood from all his veins poured out, his heart melted with anguish, and so forth (Theoretical-Practical Theology, Redemption in Christ, Vol. 4, 2023, page 411).

Jesus endured all of this AND the forsakenness of God, AND the anger of God, AND the damnation of God because of His great love with which He loved sinners so that we might NEVER be forsaken by God, AND NEVER bear God's anger, AND NEVER endure God's damnation, but enjoy God's smile and love for all eternity where there is fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore!

Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Helen Roseveare And The Worthiness Of Christ

A powerful story told about missionary Helen Roseveare:

Helen Roseveare grew up in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Helen Roseveare became a skilled surgeon. All her life, both before and after she came to Christ, and she came to Christ during her university days, Helen Roseveare had a motto. And her motto was in the form of a question, and the question was this: “Is it worth it?” Is it worth it? And she would ask and honestly answer that question before she did anything. Before she went out on a day with a guy, she would say, “Is it worth it?” Before she would buy a book at Barnes and Noble and read it, she’d say, “Is it worth it?” Before she took a course in college, she’d say, “Is it worth it?”

And by asking and answering that question honestly, she became a very well-educated, disciplined, young woman physician. And after she graduated from Cambridge and got her hospital training, she gave her life to the Lord for missionary service in the northeast corner of the Belgian Congo in the community of Nobobongo. And she served their in the fifties and sixties eleven solid years of sacrificial, loving service to the African people. She did leprosy work, children’s work, built a hospital, built a Bible school. And then, in 1964 the Simba Uprising took place in the Congo, what we here in distant America called the Congo Rebellion. And the tribal people rose up, and the foreigners were ruthlessly treated.

Helen Roseveare went through that. Now I didn’t know anything about that, I did’t know anything about her, and I’ll never forget the first time I met her. I was a guest teacher for ten weeks at Columbia Bible College in South Carolina. My wife and I and our four kids were living in the men’s dorm in two dorm rooms that they put together in a makeshift little apartment for us. We were living there for ten weeks while I taught several courses in the school. And one night at nine o’clock at night, word came through the men’s dormitory that all the men were to leave their studies, and to go to the central lobby, because a woman missionary was passing through campus that evening, she couldn’t stay for the next day, and so they wanted the men to hear her give a brief word of testimony about her missionary work in Africa.

Well, to be real honest with you, none of the boys were very excited, you know. But the school said they had to do it, so we all went to the main lobby of the men’s dorm, and when we got there, the guys were in there, they were draped over the couches, sitting on the floor, and kind of looking like they didn’t want to be there. And, and then two of the school administrators walked in with Dr. Roseveare standing between the them, and when we saw her, everybody’s worst fears were well-founded, because she looked like a missionary. Whatever that means.

Simple cotton dress. Gray hair pulled back in a bit of a bun. Very thick, coke-bottle glasses, because her eyesight was not good. And she was tired. So somebody grabbed a gray, folding, metal Samsonite chair and put it in the middle of the floor, and she sat on it, and they said, ah, “Gentlemen, this woman, Dr. Roseveare, has just come through our campus, we just want her to share a little bit of her experience with you tonight.” And so she started to give her testimony. And being the astute woman that she is, about two minutes into her testimony, she knew that most of those guys were not interested at all, and so she stopped.

And she said, “You know what, boys, I don’t want to bore you with the details of my life. You’ve probably heard different stories and so forth. So, it’s late, why don’t we just take another five, ten minutes or so and, and I’ll just answer questions. Maybe, you know, you have a question, I’d rather talk about the things you’re interested.” And this kid immediately stuck his hand up, I feel sorry for him to this day, he stuck his hand up, and he said, he said, “Yeah I’ve got a question,” he said, “You know, we’ve got missionaries coming through here all the time, and, and they’re always talking about, you know, paying the price and suffering for Jesus – what did you ever suffer for Jesus?” She sat there and looked at him and, without any bitterness or any anger, she said, “Well, during the Simba Uprising, I was raped twice.” Everything got real quiet.

And then she told us about the rape. She told us how the government soldiers came to her bungalow that night, came inside, ransacked it, grabbed her, beat her, threw her to the floor, kicked in all of her teeth. And then two army officers, one at a time, took her to her own bedroom and violated her body by raping her. And then, after the second incident, she was dragged from that bungalow out into a clearing and tied to a tree. And standing around the tree were all the laughing government soldiers. And then, while she was standing there, beaten and humiliated and violated and ridiculed, someone discovered in the bungalow the only existing hand-written manuscript of a book that she had been writing about the Lord’s work in the Congo over an eleven year period. They brought it out, put it on the ground in front of her, and burned it.

And as she saw that book go up in smoke, through clenched teeth, she said to herself: “Is it worth it? Is it really worth it? Eleven years of my life poured out in selfless service for the African people and now this.” And then she told those boys in that dormitory room that night as we all sat there spellbound, she said, “And boys, the minute I said that, God’s Holy Spirit settled over that terrible scene, and He began to speak to me, and this is what He said. He said to me: ‘Helen, my daughter Helen, you’ve been asking the wrong question all your life. Helen, the question is not, “Is it worth it?” The question is: “Am I worthy?” Am I, the Lord Jesus who gave His life for you, worthy for you to make this kind of sacrifice for me?'” And by her own tearful testimony she told us how God broke her heart, she looked up into the face of Jesus and said, “Oh Lord Jesus, yes, it is worth it, for thou art worthy.”

Hallelujah! What a Savior! Yes, Jesus is worthy: 

Revelation 5:1-10: Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?" And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. And one of the elders said to me, "Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals." And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne. And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth."

The Mothers Of The Kings Of Judah And The Serpent Crushing King Of Kings!

I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. Genesis 3:15

The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8

Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered . . . . Revelation 5:5

I was reading the book of Kings with a friend, and she keenly noticed in the section we were reading, often the mothers' names of the righteous kings are mentioned, but the mothers' names of the wicked kings are not. After further research, I found this:

1. Of all the 20 kings of Judah, every time the Bible speaks of them becoming king, with only 2 exceptions, every other time their mothers' names are explicitly mentioned. 18 mothers! 7 of these kings were righteous, while 13 were wicked (Amaziah is sort of on the borderline).

2. Of all the 19 kings of Israel (all of which are evil), with 1 exception (Jeroboam I - a transition period), their mothers' names are never explicitly mentioned at all when they became king.

So generally, the mothers' names of the kings of Judah are recorded. But the mothers' names of the kings of Israel are not recorded.

Guess what kings' names are recorded in the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1? The line of Judah whose mothers' names are mentioned! 

I'm not sure about the significance of this, but I wonder if the mothers' names being mentioned serves to highlight and emphasize the fact that the Seed of the WOMAN, the righteous King of all kings, would eventually come to crush the head of the serpent on that cross?!

Then, I asked Dr. Iain Duguid about this (he's my favorite O.T. scholar in the whole world! And he answered my email at 2:19am! - what a blessing!), and he directed me to this excellent article in the Tyndale Bulletin: "MOTHERS OF OFFSPRING IN 1–2 KINGS A MESSIANIC HOPE IN DAVID’S LINE?" by Jesse R. Scheumann

Scheumann comes to my same conclusion! Here are some highlights from Scheumann's article:

Summary

In the books of 1 and 2 Kings, the mothers of Judaean kings are given a unique focus in being mentioned. Historically-minded scholars, neglecting a more message-minded approach, have not sufficiently explored why this is the case. However, when viewed as an allusion to Genesis 3:15, the focus on mothers reveals a literary marking of each Judaean king as an offspring of the woman, maintaining messianic hope within a dark period of Judah’s history.

Genesis 3:15 Sightings In Kings (these are AMAZING!)

It is likely that the editor of Kings has the Genesis 3 account in mind, because there are three probable allusions to this passage in the narrative. Before David publically announces his successor, Adonijah exalts himself as king (1 Kgs 1:5). Adonijah, however, is an imposter, since David has promised that Solomon would reign next (1 Kgs 1:13, 17, 24, 30), and the reader is told that Adonijah is sacrificing ‘by the Serpent’s Stone’ (1:9). Adonijah is, at least literarily, allied with the serpent. Solomon describes David’s military victories in the language of Genesis 3:15, declaring that ‘God put them [his enemies] under the soles of his feet’ (1 Kgs 5:3; cf. Gen. 22:17b; 24:60; 49:8; Num. 24:7, 17–19). Hezekiah’s actions are compared to David’s (2 Kgs 18:3), and the editor relates next that ‘he beat into pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made’ (2 Kgs 18:4), because it was used as a place of sacrifice. Again, at least literarily, Hezekiah defeats the serpent to secure sole devotion to God.

Conclusion

Attention given to mothers in Kings contributes to the book’s message in a twofold way. First, only mentioning the Judaean mothers strengthens a dichotomy between Israel and Judah as distinct, rival lines. Even the Judaean kings J(eh)oram and Ahaz, whose mother’s names are omitted, are evaluated as walking like Israelite kings. The evil of Israel is spread to Judah through Jezebel and her daughter Athaliah, who attempted to exterminate David’s offspring. Second, frequently mentioning the Judaean mothers animates the hope that one of David’s offspring would be the serpent-crushing offspring of the woman. The true Judaean line is marked by kings whose mothers’ names are given, literarily marking them as offspring of the woman. This line of promise is preserved in times of peril by Bathsheba and Jehosheba. Even in exile, hope remains kindled in the continuation of David’s line through Jehoiachin. Although many scholars have made a strong case for a messianic reading of Genesis 3:15, they have done so almost exclusively from the angle of ‘offspring of the woman’. In doing so, they have produced a truncated Messianism, because Scripture also develops Genesis 3:15 from the complementary angle of ‘mother of the offspring’. This study suggests that the editor of Kings focuses on motherhood, a theme throughout Scripture, to highlight how the line of promise is preserved and to heighten hope that the Messiah will yet come.

Hallelujah! What a Savior!

I've been reading the Bible in a year for almost 30 years, and I've never seen this before! There is always more to see in God's Word! Keep reading! Keep meditating! And keep praying!

Jesus Was Treated Like A Disowned Son

Why did Jesus cry out, "My God! My God!" on that cross and not, "My Father! My Father!"?

Because the Truine God loved sinners so much that Jesus was treated like a disowned son on that cross, so that all who repent and believe in Him might be adopted as God’s sons & daughters forever!

Joel Beeke: The consciousness of His son-ship seems to recede. I don't say He loses it altogether, but the sense of sinner-ship - the sense of 2 Cor. 5:21: "He Who knew no sin became sin that we may be made the righteousness of God in Him" - overwhelms Him! Engulfs Him! Submerges Him! & He cries out of the depths of it: "My God! My God!" . . . He began by crying out on the cross: "Father". He ended in the seventh cross word by crying out: "Father". But in this middle cross word, the sense of son-ship has receded. The sense of sinner-ship has come to the foreground . . . In this moment when He became the anathema of God and bore the curse of God, He does not cry out, “My Father!”. When He enters His suffering on the cross, He cries out, “Father! Forgive them, for they know not what they do!”. When He leaves His suffering and dies, He says, “Father! Into Thy hands I commit My spirit!”. But in this three hour period, in His own self image, He's not the beloved son, with Whom the Father is well pleased. He sees, He feels not His son-ship, but only sinner-hood. He becomes sin, not son. He becomes the cursed one, the vile one, the repulsive one, the foul one. (Also see here.)

Ian Hamilton: He cannot say Abba. All He can say is "My God!" Abba is out of reach. The Father & the Son had gone together up to Calvary . . .  but now there is no sense of His divine son-ship. There is no sense of the Father's love . . . fellowship with His Father was lost . . . He endured hell for you that you might never endure hell!

William Shishko: It's the word "Eloi" - God, powerful God, a God known . . . in His raw, almighty actions . . . in His terrors. Jesus here utters words in which He is exposed to the terrors and the power of God - to Whom He has no liberty to call "Father" at this time . . . [Jesus is asking] "Why am I now in the place of those who will one day be told: 'Depart from Me! I never knew you!'" . . . that One of Whom the Father had said, "I am well pleased!" is the One of Whom the Father would now say, "He is vile. He is repulsive. He must be cast out of My sight."

Hallelujah! What a Savior!

The LORD Was Angry With Christ For Our Sakes!

 

I started reading through Deuteronomy in my Bible reading plan yesterday. I again saw this note in the picture above from a study Bible I read and made notes in early on in my Christian life. I'm so thankful that the truth of the cross in all of Scripture was being made clear to me, even way back then. Yes, like with Moses (and unlike Moses, since Jesus knew no sin), God was angry with Jesus on that cross for our sakes because our sins were imputed to Him (2 Cor. 5:21). Hallelujah! What a Savior! This truth is repeated three times in Deuteronomy:

1. Deut. 1:37: The LORD was also angry with me for your sakes, saying,"Even you shall not go in there"

Think of Jesus: the LORD was angry with Jesus on that cross for our sakes as He suffered outside the gate - Jesus too was not allowed "to go in there" so that we might "go in there" forever where there's fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore!

2. Deut. 3:26: But the LORD was angry with me on your account, and would not listen to me. So the LORD said to me: "Enough of that! Speak no more to Me of this matter."

Think of Jesus: the LORD was also angry with Jesus on that cross for our sakes, and would not listen to Him (in a sense) in Gethsemane when He prayed for another way or when He cried out: "My God! My God! Why have You forsaken Me?!"

3. Deut. 4:21: Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I would not cross over the Jordan, and that I would not enter the good land which the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.

Think of Jesus: the LORD was also angry with Jesus on that cross for our sakes, and shut His Son out from all good and poured out on Him: crushing, striking, the sword of His anger, the cup of His anger, cursing, smiting, forsakenness, not sparing any judgment, and death. So that now, we who trust in Jesus Christ by grace alone through faith alone shall never face any of that judgment! 

Hallelujah! What a Savior!

A. W. Pink listed 75 ways that Moses is a type of Christ. This is #71:

71. His Death was for the benefit of God's people. It went ill with Moses for their sakes" (Ps. 106:32); "But the Lord was wroth [very angry] with me for your sakes" (Deut. 3:26). What marvelous foreshadowings of the Cross were these!

Amen!

Also noting how Moses is a type of Christ, Geerhardus Vos wrote about how Moses, like a mediator, was willing to bear the punishment of the guilty:

He may be fitly called the redeemer of the Old Testament. Nearly all the terms in use of the redemption of the New Testament can be traced back to his time. There was in his work such a close connection between revealing words and redeeming acts as can be parallelled only from the life of Christ. And the acts of Moses were to a high degree supernatural, miraculous acts. This typical relation of Moses to Christ can easily be traced in each of the three offices we are accustomed to distinguish in the soteric work of Christ . . . Moses intercedes for Israel after the commissioning of the sin of the golden calf, and that by offering his own person vicariously for bearing the punishment of the guilty [Ex. 32:30-33].

About Moses, Nick Batzig writes:

Moses was a type of Christ in that he was the typical Redeemer of the Old Covenant. He was the only other Mediator between God and His people in redemptive history; and though his mediation was also typical, He stood in the most unique position as the redeemer and lawgiver of the Covenant people. Jesus is THE Mediator between God and man–since He is both God and man. Just as Moses had a supernatural deliverance at his birth, so did Jesus. Just as Moses led Israel out of Egypt, into the wilderness, up on the mountain to give them the law, so Jesus went down into Egypt, up from Egypt, through the water, into the wilderness and up on the mountain to give God’s people the law. Jesus leads His people out of bondage to Satan, sin and death through His own “exodus” (Luke 9:31) in His death and resurrection.

Praise God that He sent us a Redeemer, Mediator, Law Giver, Law Keeper, Deliverer, Prophet, Priest, and King greater than Moses Who could actually bear the infinite anger of the LORD for our sakes, pay the penalty for all of our sins, rise up triumphantly from the dead, conquer sin, death, and hell, and ascend into heaven and sit at the right hand of God the Father almighty and save us from our sins! 

Hallelujah! What a Savior!
