Jesus was on the cross for six hours at this point. It was about 3pm (the ninth hour of the day). Up to this point, we have seen a great bit of detail about the physical side of Jesus’ crucifixion. In this fourth statement, we are now fully introduced to the deeper anguish pressing down on the Savior.Continue reading “Seven Sayings: My God, My God, Why hast Thou Forsaken Me”

Seven Sayings: Behold thy…
John 19:25-27 In the previous two statements made by Jesus on the cross, we were given a glimpse into the salvific power of Christ. The intercessory work was demonstrated through Jesus’ prayer to the Father over the ignorance of the crowds. The immediate nature of salvation was seen in the words spoken to the penitentContinue reading “Seven Sayings: Behold thy…”
Seven Sayings: Today
The second sermon in our series, “Seven Sayings from the Cross” comes from Luke 23:35-43. Everything Jesus did and said had a purpose. There were no wasted movements or waster breath with Him. Including the words, He spoke from the cross. While I don’t think they were intended to be wordy theological dialogues like theContinue reading “Seven Sayings: Today”

Four Hindrances to Worshipping in Spirit and in Truth.
When Jesus spoke to the women at Jacobs well in the fourth chapter of the Gospel according to John, He spoke on worship. Jesus stated that God the Father searches for those that will worship in Spirit and in truth (John 4:23). The conversation basically boils down to the point that true worship does notContinue reading “Four Hindrances to Worshipping in Spirit and in Truth.”
So great a salvation.
We have been given a great salvation. However, it can be neglected. Which means what to the believer? Let’s search this out. “Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels wasContinue reading “So great a salvation.”
The Lord is my Shepherd – Psalm 23:6
As we come to the final verse of the twenty-third Psalm, we find a beautiful conclusion. The psalmist declares the continuing goodness and mercy of God toward His people. However, we may wonder what brings about these blessings. What are the purposes and benefits? “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of myContinue reading “The Lord is my Shepherd – Psalm 23:6”
The Lord is my Shepherd – Psalm 23:5
In the middle of our chaos, God can provide a space to receive His grace. The shepherd knows his sheep are weary and hungry in the dark areas of life. He also knows that in the treacherous terrain that there are dangerous enemies waiting to attack. Still, in the midst of an uncertain place, theContinue reading “The Lord is my Shepherd – Psalm 23:5”
The Lord is my Shepherd – Psalm 23:4
The fourth verse of Psalm 23 is very popular and has been quoted by people from different walks of life. Not just by Christians either. It is a very relatable verse. However, this flippant usage of this verse underlies a more damaging notion. It is an approach called moral therapeutic deism. What does that mean? Let’sContinue reading “The Lord is my Shepherd – Psalm 23:4”
The Lord is my Shepherd – Psalm 23:3
So far, we have seen that in the Lord, we do not lack in the first verse. In the second verse, we find provision and rest. As we continue, we see restoration for our souls. “He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” – Psalm 23:3 ThisContinue reading “The Lord is my Shepherd – Psalm 23:3”
