The purpose of this series is to look at the concept of baptism as it is described in the Scriptures. Most people have a very narrow view of baptism that is often based on church traditions rather than the Word of God. Baptism, as it is seen in both the Old and New Testaments, is a much deeper subject; it has great spiritual meaning beyond that of a simple religious ordinance or ritual. When a person hears the word “baptism” their first thought is usually water baptism, but there are many different baptisms spoken of in the Scriptures, most of which do not involve water at all. In this series of lessons, we examine the various baptisms found in the Scriptures to see the origin and meaning of the word, and to understand the importance of the spiritual baptism that places us in Christ in this present dispensation.
These Bible lessons were taught by Pastor Gregg Bing in 2021-2022 during the adult Sunday school class at Grace Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX.

Why Have You Forsaken Me?
Jesus' last three hours on the cross were shrouded in a darkness that covered the land. It was during this time that He bore the sins of the world. As the time drew near for Jesus to die, He cried out with a loud voice, "My God, My God, Why have You forsaken Me?" This is the fourth statement of Jesus from the cross, the central of the seven things He spoke. It is the statement that best helps us understand the meaning of the cross, but, it is also the statement that is hardest for us to fully comprehend.
Scripture References: Psalms 22:1-21, Matthew 27:45-49
From Series: "Jesus' Words from the Cross"
The crucifixion of Christ is the greatest event in all of history--the accomplishment of God's eternal purpose of redemption through our Savior, Jesus Christ. The Scriptures record seven statements that Jesus made from the cross. In this study, we examine each of these statements, to understand more about the person of our Savior and of what He accomplished for us by His death on the cross.
