FINISHED!
When Jesus cried, “It is finished,” all of Heaven heard it and rejoiced. All of Hell heard it and trembled. All of earth must hear it and believe. This final word of Jesus on the cross is a cry of the Conqueror, a cry of completion, and a cry of commencement. Let’s discover why in today’s broadcast.
Paid In Full
When Jesus cried from the cross, “It is finished,” He was literally saying “Paid in full!” The debt of sin has been canceled. There is no further work required to pay the price of salvation. Jesus paid it all! Trust Him today!
One Word Changes Everything
One word from Jesus changes everything! In our final look at Jesus’ use of the word “today,” we find that it is a word of great expectancy. It speaks to us about God and His present work, about our lives and fleeting opportunities, and about our eternity, which is greater than we can imagine if we turn to Christ by faith.
Don’t Miss Your Moment
“Today” is a word of expediency, as well as opportunity. God has given each of us an opportunity to make the most of today. In this study we will consider right priorities as we again look to Jesus on His most difficult day.
Today
When the thief on the cross cried out to Jesus to save him, our Lord promised that he would be with Him in Paradise that very day. We are not guaranteed tomorrow, but we have been given today. Friend, I urge you to trust Christ, return to God, or begin the task God has laid on your heart…today!
Put It All In His Hands
Some people live their whole lives letting their hurts define and detour them. How much better it would be to trust every circumstance and situation to the loving hands of God, as we see Jesus doing on the cross. His final recorded words demonstrate His complete confidence in the Father.
Why?
Consider that even Jesus, in His darkest hour, cried out to God, “Why?” When you find yourself enduring dark days or feeling distant from the Lord, bring all your emotion, hurt, and brokenness to God. And remember that He is at work. The greatest transaction that ever took place happened in the dark when it seemed that Heaven was silent.
Moving from Why to What
Both the darkest and final moment of Jesus’ life are examined in our study today. When Jesus fulfilled the “why” of His coming, when He suffered in a moment the eternal Hell we deserved, when he was separated from His Father – only then could we receive the “what” God had in store for us all along.
The Cry that Never Stops
Our Lord’s forgiveness is immediate and perpetual. It restored the thief on the cross, and to this day remains powerful and available. Walk by Calvary again and listen to Jesus say you’re forgiven. Be inspired to share that wonderful message with someone along your path who is yet bearing the weight of their sins alone.
Forgive!
This cry from the cross is not only a prayer, but also a pardon. If anyone had a reason to bring judgment, it was our Lord. Yet He cries, “Father, forgive them!” Today we’ll grow in our understanding of forgiveness and be challenged to forgive like Jesus.
Faith Near the End–Noah’s Family
We live in extraordinary times. We are closer now to the return of Christ than we may even realize. So, What can we learn from the life of Noah? Join Scott Pauley in Hebrews 11 as he preaches about the difference one obedient family can make in hard times.
Praying at the Cross
If you’re dealing with some difficulty today, you can learn to do what our Lord did. Pray! Sometimes Jesus prayed in the peaceful quietness of a garden, but today we listen to Him pray at Calvary. We find Him in the hardest place, on the hardest day, praying for the hardest people. That means something for you and me!
The Cry of His Humility
Have you ever wondered what Jesus’ voice sounds like? Although we cannot hear it with our ears today, every cry we hear Him utter from the cross teaches us about our Lord’s heart. His humility is heard in the words we’ll study today.
The Cry of His Humanity
As we listen to the first cry of Jesus from the cross, we are reminded of his humanity. We see His love for His mother, His physical thirst, His pain. There is great hope in knowing that whatever we are going through, He understands. He has experienced what we experience, and He cares. Trust Him to see you through!
No Answer
The cries we hear first near the cross of Christ were not from Jesus Himself. Pilate’s bewildered “I find no fault in Him,” the Jews angry “Crucify Him!” the Roman soldiers’ mockery… yet Jesus silently suffers in humility and surrender to the will of His Father. What love is displayed in the silence of Jesus!
Famous Last Words
How powerful it is to hear a person’s last words! They carry unique significance. As we begin a study of the words spoken by Jesus at the end of His life on earth, we will consider the final words of several famous individuals. What will these statements reveal about Heaven, Hell, peace, and hope?
What That Meaneth by Johnny Pope
This Bible message was given by Pastor Johnny Pope at the Southwide Baptist Fellowship Meeting on October 13, 2021. The text for the message is Matthew 9 and Matthew 12.
The Last Verse
With God, endings are always new beginnings. We’ve come to the end of Psalm 119 and so many of us are prone to wander. Let us remember His commandments and renew our commitment to spend time in God’s Word every day. It truly is all you need!
His Word and My Words
God not only wants you to hear His Word - He wants you to repeat it. He not only wants you to receive His Word - He wants you to relay it. In this broadcast we will discover three verbal responses from us to God’s Words.
Every Good Thing
Today’s section offers a summary of every good thing we find in God’s Word, and together we will make a list of them. But what good is it if we only talk about the good things found in God’s Word? What are we going to do about it? God’s Word will keep us – will we keep it?
Consider
As a key opens a door, so a keyword can open our understanding of a portion of Scripture. Such is the case in our study today. The section emphasizes both who is against us and Who is for us. Let’s spend a few minutes together considering our affliction, our affection, and God’s attention.
Sometimes We Cry
Where should we turn our attention when we feel like crying? God’s Word teaches that we can bring our emotion, feelings, and desperation to the Lord, and His Truth never changes. Even when we’re crying, we can find an anchor in God’s Word.
