"Preach The Word"



SERIES: WORDS FROM THE CROSS

SUBJECT: The Word of Anguish

READINGS: Matt. 27:33-50; 2 Cor. 5:17-21

TEXT: "...My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken Me?" (Matt. 27:46).

Introduction:

It is now midday. For three hours the body of Jesus has been exposed to the burning rays of the sun. The divine Sufferer has almost reached the point of exhaustion when a supernatural phenomenon takes place: darkness falls over the whole earth, and a cry is heard. .."My God, My God, why has thou forsaken Me?" (Matt. 27:46). This cry of anguish expresses:

I. The Faithfulness of the Son of God (Matt. 27:46)

1) The Faithfulness of His Reciprocal Love (John 10:17)

2) The Faithfulness of His Responsive Trust (Matt.27:46).

II. The Forsakenness of the Son of God (Matt. 27:46)

1) The Reality of Sin (2 Cor. 5:21)

2) The Totality of Sin (Isa. 53:6)

3) The Fatality of Sin (Ezek. 18:4; Rom. 6:26)

III. The Fulfillment of the Son of God (Matt. 27:46)

1) We Might Be Reinstated (2 Cor. 5:19)

2) We Might Be Recreated (2 Cor. 5:17)

Conclusion:

There can be only one reply to this word of anguish and that is to gladly surrender our lives for His service (see Romans 12:1-2).
