We come to the scene of an. Not dying for his crimes but for yours and. Jesus has been led up the. His death. Calvary has been called the place of the. Curse for Jesus but a blessing for mankind. It is at. Calvary that we see the best of God and the worst of man. What man can say he has never had an evil thought. You and I certainly had our part to play. Welcome to the home page of St. John Newland, Hull, UK. These videos refute the false claims of evolution as presented in the first 10 episodes of the show COSMOS. Share this series with everyone you can.As we set our. course and take a few weeks to journey to the cross, we will look at the last. Christ spoke upon the cross. While every word spoken by. Messiah was and is important, the last words reveal to us several important. When a man is dying, he speaks his heart and not just idle words. Three of the. seven last sayings were directed toward God the Father. Notice only one thing here in. Jesus. . He had no cry of pity. As we look at the. Christ it is translated into ten words in English. These words. are spoken very early and some think probably as the thunder of the hammer rang. Christ. Hershel Ford points. He now cries out to the Father. He is very. aware of His Sonship. This was not just any man being crucified but the God of. Cor 5: 1. 9 . His life had been. You will recall at the tomb of Lazarus, Jesus stated. And I knew that thou hearest me. We see this course set in the Garden of Gethsemane when Jesus. His soul. He was fully. God. Col 2: 9declares. Paul prayed that the Ephesians concerning the. God that they would. Reaching up to God, down. I remind you. though, he is not saying forgive to His friends but those that are crucifying. Him. I remind you that the word of God says. He cried for God to forgive. This reminds us that only God can forgive sin. This. was not just a plea for a pardon like a governor could give, but it is. He could not simply turn His. He can forgive sin because of the blood. Christ that satisfies the justice of God. He said forgive, . Those. who hated Him. He teaches us a lot about forgiveness here. First we see he. prayed for his enemies. Second, he forgave those who had wronged him. Jesus had. preached this in Matt 5: 4. This is without limit. Jesus practiced what He preached on. This great. prayer on the cross certainly was for those who were crucifying Him first. In. fact, many think if He had not prayed for them that this would have been. Still we realize that the forgiveness of Christ is far greater. It reaches into the. I. Father forgive them that will believe the. Gospel and repent. This act was done as a plot by the Jewish Sanhedrin to do away with what. The crowd a few short days before they. They had now. been carried away by the slight of men. Paul exclaimed. in. Cor 2: 8concerning those who crucified Him. This. crowd was kept in ignorance by their leaders and in fact, probably thought they. God a favor by getting rid of this blasphemer. Three thousand. of those who were prayed for by Christ on the cross specifically were saved. Praise God for grace! Now, the. greatest question anyone will ever ask you, ? He died that we might live and. Forgiveness can be had by calling on His name. He. will save you if you will come to Him. RETURN TO THE SAYINGS. A Shining Example of Salvation By Grace . The next words from His precious lips will be to. Luke 2. 3: 3. 3 says, . He. said He came to seek and save the lost. The Two Thieves . All of us are under the sentence of death. These two thieves, both at one time according to Matthew 2. Christ as the crowd came by and. All of us before we are saved, my. God and godly things. They, according to their own words deserved. Luke 2. 3: 4. 1They deserved death. What. does God owe to man? Death is all that God owes us. Death is what we deserve. We. see three men here on the cross. One dying for sin, one dying in sin and one. We see one cry out to Christ and another reject Him. What a. picture of the world on this rugged hillside. This thief was not a good man, he did not work. This also shows us the need for personal acceptance of Christ. Both. thieves were not saved. Only the one who asked Christ. How. could victory come from such an act of cruelty? How could there be any hope when. Pilate, when he sent Jesus to the. God. He could have said, . Jesus was dying for this very purpose. He stated before, . If you will come. Christ and ask Him to save you, He will. Notice that the thief only asked to. Jesus will speak now to our brother, the former thief. In the Greek it says, . There. is not any room for doubt about what I am saying. The NKJV translated it . So who could he trust? Jesus alone is. trustworthy of our eternal fate. Paul states. . This is not some cult leader who is. God. This. is God saying these words. He speaks very personally to him. Might I say that when Christ calls us. He speaks very personally to us. He speaks very directly to our. He deals with us as individuals. God does not make cookie cutter. Christians. He deals with each one of us on an individual basis. We could say. . Not some day yet future, but the one you are. This was the first trophy of grace Jesus presented to the. Father. My what a story he could tell us about all the millions who have come. Yes, it clearly does. Notice in the word of God it says, ? Is it a child or a. Notice that Jesus tells the thief that he would be with Him. Many have. testified that the first one they want to see when they get home is our Savior. His blood. Jesus knew that death was not going to hold. Him. He knew He would see this man again. If a man dying on the cross can do. He give us assurance now that He is alive for evermore? This word is only found three times in the scriptures. We could get. into a deep theological discussion of where Paradise was and is before and after. Christ. I choose to not do this now. Simply let me state concerning this. Christ is will be paradise enough. This word is of. Oriental origin. The Persians used it to refer to a spectacular park of the. King. The two other places it is found in scriptures are 2 Cor 1. Rev. 2: 7. Paul was caught up into paradise and it is. Where will you spend eternity? The first word was to the Father, the second to. Mary and John the beloved. On the hillside just a short distance north of. Jerusalem is a place known as Gordon. It has two caves and a rock. This place was. outside the city walls. Heb 1. 3: 1. 1- 1. The crimes of. those crucified were written and hanged so that those who passed by would know. Crucifixions were carried out alongside the. Mark 1. 5: 2. 9 says. Psalm 2. 2: 1. 6- 1. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon. They tried. to get Pilate to change the words to only that He claimed to be King of the. Jews, but Pilate refused. There were usually four. John tells us they divided them into four. His inner garment was seamless and they decided among themselves to. This fulfilled scripture that foretold this would happen. Mary. his mother, her sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene and John. John was the only one of the disciples of Christ that dared come. His love was stronger than his fear. Just what was. the relationship of Mary and Jesus? She was his earthly mother. Luke 2: 3. 5records when Mary and Joseph took Jesus to. Simeon gave a prophecy to Mary. You will recall that at Cana of Galilee when Jesus was. Mary to help out at the wedding, Jesus addressed her as . This was not a disrespectful word. Him. He looks down and sees her here and remembers that someone needs to. I think we need to realize that while she was his mother. Mary. While we do not want to read. I find it striking that He did not address her at. There are some that say the way to Jesus is through. Mary because He cannot refuse her request.? He is talking to John the beloved. This is not His first cousin. John the Baptist, but John the Apostle. This John was the brother of James the. Apostle, the son of Zebedee (see Matt 1. We find recorded in Mark 6: 3 that in fact they did have at. Why did Jesus not tell them to take care of their. Most scholars believe that Joseph was dead. We find that according to John 7: 2- 5his brothers did not believe He was Messiah. Jesus said. Caring for His mother, Jesus commended her to the care of the. John . Derrill Smith, Proclaim, Jan- Mar 1. We know that later on they would, in fact. James, His brother, wrote the book of. James and presided over the Jerusalem Council recorded in Acts. Remember that I. stated the relationship between Mary and Jesus was changing. He would cease to. Savior. We find Mary, as well as His brethren, in. Upper Room waiting for the Spirit on the day of Pentecost (see Acts. Jesus is. asking John to take His place and continue on with it. He asks us to do the. His work on Calvary is finished never to be repeated again, but His work. He had been in what is called the inner. Christ. He was the one who leaned on His breast at the Passover when. Lord. Jesus knew how much he loved Him. He knew he. could be trusted because of that love with His mother. Love should be. the motive with which we find ourselves serving God as well. Remembered by the. Savior What application to this have to you and I. First, we realized that Jesus did not forget those He loved, even while. Mary was remembered by the Savior as He died for her. John 6: 3. 7 records Jesus saying, . We will be remembered by the Savior. The. question is now will you come to the Savior? He has been. hanging on the cross now for several hours. He cries out, . These two words are the only. His physical suffering. Some will tell you, wrongly, that Jesus was. This is not so. Jesus. This was a concoction designed to suppress the senses and deaden. Jesus refused this drink because He wanted to be in total.
