The Message of the Cross

We begin a new series of Bible messages looking at "Jesus' Words from the Cross." The crucifixion of Christ is the greatest event in history--the climax and fulfillment of God's eternal purpose of redemption for fallen mankind. While the words of Jesus are not more important or more inspired than any other portion of Scripture, the words He spoke while hanging on the cross are significant. They give us insight into the person of our Savior as well as a better understanding of the meaning of the cross to us.The Bible records 7 times Jesus spoke from the cross. The first was in the form of a prayer: "Father, forgive them ..." In this message we examine some key questions about this prayer: 1) Forgive who? 2) Forgive them for what? and 3) Forgive them how? While Jesus' sacrificial death did make possible the forgiveness of our sins, the meaning of Jesus' words from the cross have a special dispensational significance for the nation of Israel.

Scripture References: Hebrews 10:26-29, Hebrews 6:4-6, Acts 3:17, Matthew 12:31-32, Luke 23:34
