"My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?” Series

Contributed by Tim Hbc on Mar 16, 2009

The gospel of grace! Because of Jesus, the Father promises US, ’Never will I leave or forsake YOU.’

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Those words were so raw with emotion that we still have them in Aramaic, Jesus’ mother tongue: Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? Jesus is hanging there on the cross. We can safely assume his face is twisted with the agony of crucifixion. He can barely ...read more

Urgent Atonement Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Mar 17, 2008

The cross is hideous. It’s not a pretty thing we hang on our walls. It’s not a fine piece of jewelry hanging from our neck. It is the most brutal instrument of death ever conceived by the cruel mind of man.

For the past few weeks, we’ve been looking at the events of the last few days of Jesus’ life on earth. With each of those events, we’ve seen a sense of urgency. Each week we have seen an example of urgency. But this morning is different. In this morning’s passage, our Lord shows a sense of ...read more
