He trusted in God… – Matthew 27:43
But You are He who took Me out of the womb; You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts. – Psalm 22:9
It is evident that the Lord Jesus trusted in God openly since even yonder gibing crowd proclaimed it. Some good people try to exercise faith on the sly: they practise it in snug corners, and in lonely hours, but they are afraid to say much before others, for fear their faith should not see the promise fulfilled. They dare not say, with David, “My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof and be glad.” This secrecy robs God of His honour. Brethren, we do not glorify our God as He ought to be glorified. Let us trust in Him and own it. Wherefore should we be ashamed? Let us throw down the gauge of battle to earth and hell. God, the true and faithful, deserves to be trusted without limit. Trust your all with Him and be not ashamed of having done so. Our Saviour was not ashamed of trusting in His God. On the cross He cried, “Thou didst make (Me) hope when I was upon (My) mother’s breast.” Jesus lived by faith. We are sure that He did, for in the Epistle to the Hebrews He is quoted as saying, “I will put My trust in Him.” If so glorious a personage as the only begotten Son of God lived here by faith in God, how are you and I to live except by trust in God? If we live unto God, this is the absolute necessity of our spiritual life “the just shall live by faith.” Shall we be ashamed of that which brings life to us? The cruel ones who saw Jesus die did not say, “He now and then trusted in God”; nor “He trusted in the Lord years ago”; but they admitted that faith in God was the constant tenor of His life: they could not deny it. Even though, with malicious cruelty, they turned it into a taunt, yet they did not cast a question upon the fact that “He trusted in God” Oh, I want you so to live that those who dislike you most may, nevertheless, know that you do trust in God…If nobody else trusts in God, let us do so; and thus, may we uplift a testimony to the honour of His faithfulness. When we die, may this be our epitaph-“He trusted in God.” ~ C.H. Spurgeon
