What Was He Looking At?
One night a wife found her husband standing over their infant's crib. As she watched him looking down at their very first baby, she saw on his face a mixture of emotions: disbelief, doubt, delight, amazement, enchantment, skepticism. Touched by this unusual display and deep emotions, with eyes glistening she slipped her arm around her husband. ''A penny for your thoughts,'' she said.
''It's amazing'' he replied. ''I just can't see how anybody can make a crib like that for only $46.50.''
What's that saying? Some people can't see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you concentrate on the details of a problem, you lose sight of the overall picture; in other words you focus on the unimportant, rather than on the important things. You miss the big picture.
The soldiers had led the Lord to the mount, which is known to us by the name of Mount Calvary. He had been beaten, his body had been broken, his blood was dripped from his body, and once they had gambled for his clothing, they sit down and watched, but what were they seeing? These men thought the Lord was just any other man, so they sit down and watched him.
He was not merely another man; he was God in the flesh and a divine sacrifice.
