Grace
Grace
God allowed Isaiah the prophet to see centuries into the future.
He saw the Great Suffering Servant - Jesus.
Grace
During His 3 judicial hearings Jesus says very little to nothing.
No defence was given.
During the spitting, beating, and mocking...
Nothing was said.
NOW… in the midst of His crucifixion Jesus utters a prayer.
“Father, forgive them.
They don’t know what they are doing.”
Jesus prayed for His enemies.
Jesus forgave His enemies.
Jesus understood His enemies.
Jesus gave them grace!
Grace
Who needs grace from you?
Hope
Hope
Since as long as we can remember...
Young men have wondered if they would be found worthy by a beautiful woman they have been pursuing.
People have wondered if they will make it into heaven.
Lost people wonder if they have done more good things than bad.
Even Christians begin to wonder when they have bad days.
We are clearly taught that it has nothing to do with us.
We should be baptized.
We should faithfully attend our local church.
We should be active members of the body of Christ.
Here is a man that didn’t do any of these things.
At the last hour his eyes were opened and he was saved.
He didn’t understand anything but hope!
Alistair Begg says it like this...
“What are you doing here?”
“I don’t know.”
“Well, who sent you here?”
“What?
No one sent me here.
I . . .
I . . .
I’m here!”
“Well, are you . . .
Have you been justified by faith?
Do you have peace with God?”
“I don’t know.”
Have you been baptized?
No… I don’t think so… I don’t know.
Are you a member of a local church?
I’m sorry I don’t know what a church is.
Give me your testimony.
What’s a testimony, what do you mean?
“Well, do you know anything?”
“Yeah.”
“What do you know?”
“The man on the middle cross said I could come.”
Hope
The only reason we have hope of Heaven is because the man on the middle cross gave it to us!
It doesn’t matter how good I’ve been or how good I will be.
I am what I am because of Christ!
Jesus gives us hope!
Compassion
Compassion
When I am in pain I don’t have patience for anyone.
Even when they are trying to see if I’m ok,
If I don’t feel good or if I’m hungry!
Yet Jesus- in the middle of His agony- has compassion on His mom.
We don’t know where Joseph was or why Jesus didn’t put the responsibility on his brothers.
But we know He cared about his mom.
John was the only one to come back and witness the crucifixion.
So Jesus gives him this responsibility.
Jesus never takes his eyes off others!
Desolation
Desolation
This reveals how utterly alone Jesus was as He carried our sin.
Just as our battles against sin are in our mind and heart, it was the same with Jesus.
His fight was not against the soldiers.
His fight was not agains the Jews.
His fight was against Satan and He had to do it alone.
In this moment darkness covers the earth.
It was high noon yet, God sent darkness to show the seriousness of what was happening.
Creation itself was mourning the death of the Son.
Even secular historians record utter darkness covering the world that day!
During these 3 hours Jesus is enduring the full force of the wrath of God on our sin.
After 3 hours of darkness, Jesus cries out: My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?
God turned His back on His Son.
They had been in perfect union for all of eternity past.
That desolation that Jesus felt was something you and I will never have to face.
Desolation
Fulfillment
Fulfillment
To fulfill scripture Jesus said - I thirst.
Jesus is not thinking about self.
Jesus is thinking about God’s plan.
Jesus is thinking about the prophecies of the Old Testament.
After knowing all was now finished.
Every prophecy fulfilled that could be fulfilled at that time.
Now fully bearing the sins of the world - still thinking about His Father’s plan.
Fulfillment
In order for God to choose us, this salvation plan had to be laid out.
Remember we are living God’s plan for our lives.
