3 Large Nails

"3 Large Nails" I have used a hammer many times, to pound nails into wood! A moments reflection has given me thoughts of something else quite understood! Long ago, in the past, at a place known as Calvary, "3 Large Nails" were used in extreme cruelty! A Man was laid down on a cross, with His arms spread right and left! Two other men were laid along side Him, for they were guilty of theft! Not one thing had this Man done! He had committed no crime! This was His crucifixion, that would be remembered for all of time! "3 Large Nails" were chosen, for this dastardly act. They held His arms down, placed a nail in each palm, and brought the hammer down with forceful impact! I would've screamed to the highest Heavens for they pounded a large nail through both feet, but scripture said "He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause His voice to be heard in the street!" (Isaiah 42:2) See, this Man NEVER, EVER said a word, not one word in protest! "3 Large Nails" were driven through His palms and both feet, dying for our sins at His Father's request! After this crucifying act, He on His cross was then stood upright! This Man who had only done good and nothing wrong, was left to die in the night! "3 Large Nails" were chosen, to anchor this Man to a cross! "3 Days Later He Was Resurrected And Ascended! He gave His life as the ultimate in cost!" WTA-IV 3/24/2016
