TAYLOR Portland, Oregon The whipping master laid on with long leather lashes tipped with dried chicken bones and sharp metals. Only ■ the lowest of the low were so treated and convulsions or death i itself might follow. Because Christ had claimed to be the Son of God, He must be scourged. As the Son of Man, Christ suf­ fered pain but as the Upholder and Creator of all life, Christ need not He die until chose. He | gave Himself to be scourged—John 19:1. Then He was nailed to the cross where He took your sins and died under them to clear you. So He died for you that He might bring you to God. After the Third day in the grave, He arose and ascended back to God. Receive Him into your heart as dying for your sins, Then by Bible and prayer, grow up. This Message sponsored by a Seattle family.
