The Fourth Word - Dereliction (4 of 7)
Series: 7 Words from the Cross

Mark 15:33-39
Today we come to the 4th word from the cross. - It has been called the word of dereliction. This saying has stirred controversy. It makes people uncomfortable. We will be forced to ask WHY as we read it. WHY does the Son of God ask God why He has forsaken Him? Was He really forsaken? What does that mean? What happens on the cross as revealed through this saying is at the very heart of the Gospel. It is here we see the grotesqueness of sin, the holiness of God, the love of God. - It is here where we begin to understand what the cross is all about. Up to this point we’ve seen ...

Christ died for our SINS as our SUBTITUTE securing our SALVATION. Let’s understand our text ... It was now the 6th hour ... this was Noon. The text tells us darkness came over the land from the 6th to the 9th hour ... that would be from Noon until 3 PM, at that time Jesus cries out to God, ‘‘My God, My ...
