For what we preach is not
ourselves, but Jesus Christ
as Lord, and ourselves as
your servants for Jesus’ sake.
2 Corinthians 4:5
The Death of Jesus – Part 1
Of the 7 last sayings of the Lord Jesus from the cross, his heart-piercing and soul-wrenching cry, “My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?” reminds us of him being forsaken and eventually giving up his life for our sins. A closer reflection of his death calls for 2 responses:
(1) An attitude of unending gratitude for those who are his and
(2) An attitude of fear and terror of the coming wrath of God for those who are still far away from him.
