The Lesson title is both lengthy (too much so for today’s “text” readers) and its Subject profound (maybe deeper than any of us can go).

I want to discuss here on our website, at least for a while, the “spiritual suffering” Jesus endured on the Cross of Calvary!

Now let me quote a couple of old Puritan writers I enjoy reading.

Thomas Goodwin (1600-1680) … “The greatest of all Christ’s sufferings were those of His soul.”

Thomas Watson (1620 – 1686) … “Christ felt hell’s torment in His soul.”

But a far better source yet is (of course) the Holy Spirit inspired Prophet Isaiah …

“Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.” Isaiah 53:10

His very soul was “offered” for sin!

Honestly, we may never understand all Jesus did on the Cross that epochal Day long ago. But it is going to be delightful learning more (and more) about His Glorious Sacrifice for a lost world.

Study with us …
