The Seventh Word - Trust (7 of 7)
Series: 7 Words from the Cross

Luke 23:44-49
Today is Palm Sunday ... it was on this day Jesus entered Jerusalem on the back of a donkey. A crowd of people shouted, ‘‘Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’’ - They celebrated Him as the coming King. - Many had hopes He would be the kind of king that would overthrow the Romans and set up an earthly kingdom then and there. However, that day Jesus had not come to conquer Rome ... but sin, death, and Hell. - He had come to do the will of the Father. - Oh, He’s coming back to rule and reign ... but He has conquered sin, death, and Hell and wants to rule and reign in all hearts and lives. As we’ve seen these last several weeks ... Jesus is the King who came to die. He came to lay down His life as a ransom for many. He came to lay it down and to take it up again. Kings and rulers have been assassinated, they have been conquered, overthrown ... they have sacrificed the lives of others to save themselves, they’ve used people. - Jesus though laid down His life for us. - He lived and died, and rose again ... to save us. - He also gave us an example in His life ... and even His death. Today in Luke we are going to read His last words before death. We are going to see HOW Jesus died ... and HOW we should respond.
Luke 23:44-49 - 44 It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, 45 while the sun’s light failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 46 Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, ‘‘Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!’’ And having said this he breathed his last. 47 Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God, saying, ‘‘Certainly this man was innocent!’’ 48 And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their breasts. 49 And all his acquaintances and the women who had followed him ...
