I Thirst/It Is Finished (4 of 5)
Series: God's Mic Drop: The Seven Last Words of Christ
Scott Maze
Matthew 27:45-50; John 19:28-30
Today is Palm Sunday, the day Jesus Christ enters into the city of Jerusalem to make this memorable last week before His crucifixion. This week means so much as it culminates in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
The cross of Jesus means so much even all these years later.
Mary George was martyred around eight years ago this day in Cairo, Egypt. Many of you know the wonderful organization, The Voice of the Martyrs. The Voice of the Martyrs reports that Mary was taking medicine for a family when she was stopped by a group of pro-Muslim Brotherhood protesters. The reason she was stopped was they saw a cross dangling from her rear-view mirror on her car. Protestors climbed onto her car, collapsing the roof, then hauled her from the vehicle, beating and mauling her. She was stabbed multiple times.. Even after she was dead, the mob torched her car. All this because they saw a cross. The cross still causes powerful reactions all these years later.
On Friday, Jesus Christ hung on the cross for six agonizing hours before succumbing to the torture of crucifixion through asphyxiation. During that time, Jesus made seven statements on the cross that were recorded in the four gospels of the New Testament. Years before this, someone said of Jesus' teaching, ''No one ever spoke like this man'' (John 7:46)! As every time Jesus spoke, we can say of these seven utterances from the cross, ''No one ever spoke like this man!'' Each one of these statements is significant and worthy of all your mental power.
I invite you to turn to two places in your Bible with me. Find John 19 with me if you and put a bookmark there if you will. And I invite you to also find Matthew 27 with me as well.
