Last Words

My Father died about six weeks ago
His last words keep ringing in my ears I've rehearsed them in my mind over andamp; over I will never forget them
THE LAST WORDS OF MY HEAVENLY FATHER 7 saying - 7 = perfection
1st 3 - DAYLIGHT: Relationship to others ''Compassion''
Last 4 -DARKNESS: Relationship to God ''Suffering''
SCENARIO One by whom the world was made had come into the world But the world KNEW HIM NOT!!!
Lord of Glory had walked among men but he WAS NOT WANTED!!
Birth - No room in the Inn HEROD sought to SLAY HIM Enemies continuously plotted his destruction
NOW IT WAS HAPPENING
Son of God delivered into their hands Mock Trial ''I FIND NO FAULT'' Crowd demanded ''CRUCIFY HIM''
NO ORDINARY DEATH WOULD DO 1.Death of intense suffering andamp; shame 2.Nailed to a cross between 2 criminals 3.Crowd wanted gruesome blood andamp; guts side show
Crucifixion = progressing weakness under excruciating pain Beaten - No food in 14 hours
Death by asphyxiation. When person could no longer lift himself to breathe - He would slump in weakness and did of SUFFOCATION
Between two criminals Nails through hands andamp; feet Constant movement required to keep alive
In Midst of Incredible Pain andamp; Suffering
His first words: Luke 23-34
''Then Jesus was saying, Father forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.''
TWO THINGS
1. IT WAS A PROPHECY FULFILLED 800 yrs. before - Isaiah had written ...and interceded for his transgressors''
2. IT WAS A PRAYER OFFERED opened his ministry with prayer closed his ministry with prayer Always appropriate to pray
I.The Request then Jesus was saying ... Imperative tense: continual past action over andamp; over as body placed on a cross as nail pierced his hands and feet as cross dropped into hole as spat in face, cursed
e.g. Matthew - Men at foot of cross stopped what they were doing and sat down and watched him.
