Luke 24:36-49 And as they thus spoke, Jesus himself stood in the middle of them, and said to them, Peace be to you.… Christ's sacrifice upon Calvary came along by a process of natural simplicity. His death is readily explicable, and yet after He died He said that that death was one of the foregone conclusions of history: "Thus it behoved Christ to suffer." Paul said "Christ must needs have suffered." "Must." It is well to think down deep thoughts into the "musts" of history. The ages were surveyed — using the word of the civil engineer — before they were peopled and built upon, and the points were fixed which now century by century God is covering with facts and events. (C. H. Parkhurst.)
