Revolting Natives by OLAADEGBU(m): 3:34pm On Jun 14, 2019 |
Revolting Natives "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). An African chief got wind of a mutiny being planned in his tribe. In an effort to quash the revolt, he called the tribe together and said that anyone caught in rebellion would be given one hundred lashes, without mercy. A short time later, to the chief's dismay, he found that his own brother was behind the revolt. He was trying to overthrow him so he could be head of the tribe. Everyone thought the chief would break his word. But being a just man, he had his brother tied to a tree. Then he had himself tied next to him, and he took those one hundred lashes across his own bare flesh, in his brother's place. In doing so, he not only kept his word (justice was done), but he also demonstrated his great love and forgiveness toward his brother. When Jesus suffered and died on the cross, He not only satisfied that wrath of God against our sins, but He demonstrated the depth of His love for this sinful world: "It was God [personally present] in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favour with Himself, not counting up and holding against [men] their trespasses [but cancelling them], and committing to us the message of reconciliation (of the restoration to favour)" ( 2 Corinthians 5:19, Amplified Bible).
