THREE O'CLOCK
By Max Lucado
"At noon the whole country was covered with darkness, which lasted for three
hours." Matthew 27:45 TEV
Of course the sky is dark; people are killing the Light of the World . . .
The sky weeps. And a lamb bleats. Remember the time of the scream? "At about
three o'clock Jesus cried out." Three o'clock in the afternoon, the hour of
the temple sacrifice. Less than a mile to the east, a finely clothed priest
leads a lamb to the slaughter, unaware that his work is futile. Heaven is
not looking at the lamb of man but at "the Lamb of God, who takes away the
sin of the world" (John 1:29, RSV).
