Text: Colossians 4:2-6“When He had received the drink, Jesus said, ‘It is finished.’” This cry from the Cross is a shout of victory! Jesus fully paid the price for our sins, stamping “paid in full” across the ledger sheet of our lives. Since Jesus paid it all, we don’t have to—but we do need to receive what He has done by faith.
Text: John 19:30“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” The answer to this question causes us to tremble when we realize that Jesus was forsaken because of our sins. Jesus felt the full weight of sin rolled onto His shoulders and endured the Father’s revulsion at the accumulated amount of our transgressions.
Text: Matthew 27:45-46“I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.” The story of the thief receiving salvation is the most amazing example of saving faith in the entire Bible. It’s never too late to turn to Christ and even the worst of sinners can be saved at the very last moment of their lives.
Text: Luke 23:39-43“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” The Cross is the only place we can find forgiveness. It doesn’t matter what we’ve done, or how often we’ve done it, we can be forgiven – not because we deserve it, but because we don’t.
