The phrase from our Bible study now makes sense, "Love is patient." God is love. You need no more proof that Jesus is the Son of God. From the very beginning of the six hour crucifixion, people were mocking the Christ.
If I were Jesus, about two hours into it, an army of 12,000 angels would have wiped everyone out. But Matthew is writing to a Jew audience and lifts up prophecy after prophecy that is being fulfilled. The Messiah was to come in this way. Jesus told his disciples three times that this event would be happening.
That's the benefit of having the big picture in front of your eyes all of the time. That's why I think it's so appropriate that on the night Jesus was born, we read about his death. He was born to die for the forgiveness of our sins.
Come, let us adore him...Christ the Lord. See you in church tonight!
