Jesus Reveals the Holiness of God

Grandfather, Dad, Me, my kids

The reason - God gives life and Jesus gives us life with God now and in heaven

Jesus lived a sinless life and represented God to the world

Mark 15:33–39 ESV

33 And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 35 And some of the bystanders hearing it said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.” 36 And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.” 37 And Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed his last. 38 And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. 39 And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”

Darkness - the 1st supernatural event

Judgment of God

At times life can feel dark and overwhelming, but God is still there

Jesus Cries Out

Under pain, Jesus quotes Psalm 22:1

When it is dark and seems hopeless, we can use scripture we have memorized

Jesus has experienced pain on our behalf

Bystanders looking for Elijah.

Why Elijah? Because he is a major prophet

Some didn’t know who they were looking at on the cross

Jesus is Prophetic, but he is not only a prophet

The curtain - the 2nd supernatural event

The divider between the holy place and the most holy place was separated

The holiness of God is revealed when Jesus dies for the sins of all

The Roman guard confesses that Jesus is the son of God

The 2 Supernatural events cause everyone to pick

The Roman Guard or the People watching?

Just a prophet

The Holiness of God sets us free from sin and reveals who God is, which changes us

Each person has to accept Jesus as the son of God
