GOSPEL NUGGET #503

MK 3:21 ....“He has lost His senses.” NASB

The Lord Jesus was very busy serving people that He didn't even eat a meal. He neglected His own physical need. His own people concluded that He has lost His senses.

When they said this, they meant He was beside Himself or insane. They were wrong of course. He, the Lord Jesus, was not.

But, you know, in one sense that is true. He lost His senses for you and me. There, on the cross, He felt His body temperature lowering by degrees. His blood pressure went down. He felt His pulse becoming irregular, while His perspiration increased.

Then He lost His sense of sight and then, finally, His sense of hearing. He lost His senses for you and me---He died for our sins.

He did it to make available for you and me the salvation that we could never earn. Will you come to Him in faith, trusting in Him alone for salvation?
