John 19:17 “They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.”
Let’s consider God’s word in Is. 66:1. “Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool.”
In Nov of 1997 I remember looking up at what was thought to be Golgotha. The hillside seemed to have the image of a face of a skull. I could imagine three crosses with men hanging on them. In light of Isaiah’s revelation, I can imagine the Father in heaven on His throne looking down at His feet where Jesus, the Lamb of atonement, is being sacrificed so God can passover our sins. He sees the blood of His Son flowing down the cross and covering all who are bowed at His footstool. Their sins vanish. The curse lifted. The veil between heaven and earth opens above them, and the love of God, like a tsunami, cascades from the throne over His Son and inundates the beloved. It carries them into the world, filled with His love. Were you there?
