Sabbath Cross remain not bodies
31 Now since it was preparation day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the Sabbath, for the Sabbath day of that week was a solemn one, the Jews asked Pilate that their legs be broken and they be taken down. 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and then of the other one who was crucified with Jesus. 33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs, 34 but one soldier thrust his lance into his side, and immediately blood and water flowed out. 35 An eyewitness has testified, and his testimony is true; he knows that he is speaking the truth, so that you also may [come to] believe. 36 For this happened so that the scripture passage might be fulfilled: “Not a bone of it will be broken.” 37 And again another passage says:
“They will look upon him whom they have pierced.” John 19:31-37
Making heads or tails out of Scripture comes from a daily practice where you involve the Word of God in every aspect of your life even when it seems uncomfortable. To develop an understanding of the Sabbath means we understand the way the Jews took upon a day of rest as God had commanded reminding me of each Sunday choosing not to put forth any work and honor God that entire day. We often wonder sometimes why our legs become broken causing so much pain thinking death may be around the corner yet we understand that truth speaking comes from true testimony just as John does when he says, “So that you also may come to believe.”
We know the water from Christ’s site is an example of what it means to be given a baptismal bath from above knowing the water was there to cleanse those who would look up and see the Christ as the Messiah wanting him to clean all things in our lives as well. Scripture passage after scripture passage has been fulfilled in the scourging, crucifixion death and resurrection of Jesus as we struggle to place his example into existence when the world is pulling us from every way possible. Amen.
Join us in our daily prayer of forgiveness. I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and Rose for me. IN Jesus Name. Amen.

**Sabbath Cross remain not bodies**
Sabbath Cross remain not bodies
Day of preparation Jews always live
Breaking their legs Pilate agreed embodies
One solemn week day they give
Crucified thieves’ legs broken came death
Dead already legs Christ break forgot
Water and blood side his lance thrust
Believe truth disciple true testimony his spot
Fulfilling Scripture Jesus pierced broken bones not
