The last few words from the cross give us a glimpse of the extent of the Lord’s suffering, as well as His total trust in the Father. It will help us as we study the account of crucifixion to allow a graphic image to form in our minds. As we meditate on these things, our appreciation ought to be deepened knowing just how much the Savior went through to redeem our souls.

#33: Words From The Cross (5): I Thirst

Jesus time on the cross is an example of complete submission to the will of the Father. He experienced a painful and humiliating death. Just hours before the Lord prayed earnestly that the cup would pass from Him, but it was not to be. He was obedient to the Father and, for it, was crowned as Lord of lords and King of kings. Similarly, God requires our submission to His will. It can be painful and humiliating at times. We may pray for deliverance, but not realize it. Even so, we must continue to trust in God and be mindful of the reward that awaits for our obedience.

#32: Words From The Cross (4): My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?

We see tender moments in the life of Christ, like when He wept at Lazarus’ tomb. One of the most poignant is when He spoke to His mother while He hung on the cross. His actions at that moment in time are a great example for us to follow as we face trials in our lives.

#31: Words From The Cross (3): Woman, Behold Your Son

“Today you will be with Me in Paradise.” This is one of the most comforting statements Jesus ever made and it was done while He was suffering immensely. It comes from an account in the Bible that is frequently misused, that is, the thief on the cross. We want to study this account from Luke 23 and notice how the thief was saved and examine common misconceptions in this 2ndlesson on “Words From The Cross.”

#30: Words From The Cross (2) - Today You Will Be With Me In Paradise

What did you say the last time you were in terrible circumstances experiencing emotional or physical pain, with people attacking you, going through misery? Words of: Hatred and anger Revenge Regret and hopelessness Blasphemy against God Jesus went through more pain and suffering than we will ever know when He was on the cross. Yet, He maintained the right attitude and had compassion, even for His tormentors. In this episode we begin a series looking at Words spoken by Jesus From The Cross. We will consider these one at a time, beginning with “Father, Forgive them for they, for they do not know what they do.”

#29: Words From The Cross (1) - Father, Forgive Them

Gideon is one of five judges mentioned in Hebrews 11. He was not a perfect man (Judges 8:27). However, he leaned on God for help and did what God commanded. His faith is why he is listed in the hall of fame of faith in Hebrews and why we ought to study his life.  We will notice lessons, including: God gives evidence and assurance We must tear down the idols The battle is the Lord’s We must stand in the gap 

#28: Gideon - Man of Valor

Jesus refused to become an earthly king when the Jews tried to make Him one (John 6:15). The people were seeking the physical – this world – blessings and benefits. They were following Him to fill their bellies – they were carnal. The Lord, however, pointed them to the manna from heaven – the Bread of Life. There are a few key points we want to get out of this second study from John 6: • How men come to Him • We must fully partake of Jesus • Many are offended by the Lord’s teaching

#27: The Bread of Life (2)

Did you know the Jews tried to make Jesus their king (John 6:15)? Yet, we know they ended up putting Him on the cross. Why did they want to make Him their king and why did He refuse? We will find the answers to these questions in the account of Jesus’ feeding of the 5,000. We will also see who Jesus is and what it takes to follow Him.

#26: Bread of Life (1)

Jonah is one of the most fascinating events recorded in Bible history, let alone world history. He is the only man known to survive being swallowed by a fish, stuck in its belly for three days, then puked up on dry land. His preaching was powerful enough to bring an entire city of Gentiles to repentance, but was angered that the Lord spared them. Jonah is no different than us and can teach us some hard lessons. We will see how he resisted God’s will, repented of his sin, then resented God’s mercy. To learn more about this episode and to sign up to receive a daily Bible affirmation go to BibleInfo.co.

#25: Jonah

Have you ever asked someone a question only to be displeased with the answer? Maybe you approached a friend or family member expecting one type of answer, but got another. So, you rejected the answer… and later regretted it.  This is what happened to a wealthy young man who asked Jesus a question about eternal life. He did not like the answer and turned away. No doubt, that young man came to regret his attitude toward the Lord. We want to examine this account in Mark 10 and learn not only about the good character of this young man, but also to see what he lacked and what it truly takes to inherit eternal life.

#24: The Rich Young Ruler

Did you know God loved and worked to bless Gentiles in the Old Testament? We tend to focus on His dealings with Israel, but there are many accounts of His interaction with Gentiles and the blessings He bestowed on them. One of the most amazing accounts is in 2 Kings 5 where Naaman is healed of his leprosy. The story is rich with drama and filled with lessons for us.

#23: Naaman The Leper

Satan attacked Jesus in the wilderness immediately after John baptized Him (Matt. 3:13-17). Luke states that there were 40 days of temptation, followed by three specific ones that were very challenging (Luke 4:1, 2). The Lord’s temptation was for our benefit. He set the example of how to overcome Satan’s schemes and helps us relate to Him. Or, to put it another way, it allows us to see and accept that He knows exactly what we face. We will see in this episode that (1) Jesus was tempted like us (2) He overcame temptation by using God’s word (3) Jesus received everything Satan offered, but according to God’s will, not the devil’s devising.

#22: Temptation of Jesus

Every generation and nation needs a hero. People long for a champion. The timid, feckless, and fearful are despised… or worse, ignored. This is true for secular as well as sacred causes. Some appreciate and praise the hero; others envy and criticize. This what happened to David. Before David became king, he was a hero to a nation in distress; a brave champion willing to take a bold stand. His life was certainly not without fault, but he is still described as a man after God’s own heart (1 Sam. 13:14). In this episode we want to examine the event that “made” David; that which put him in the national spotlight and cemented his reputation for his generation and beyond – slaying Goliath.

#21: David and Goliath

Men and women of faith from ancient times inspire us today. They are honored by the Holy Spirit by being put into the sacred text and held up as examples for the ages. These people from long ago faced incredible difficulties and brutal treatment. Yet, they displayed great faith and remained humble, obedient servants of God. We want to examine an account of three young men who “quenched the violence of fire”: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in Daniel 3. They were captives in the land of Babylon who faced pressure to compromise their faith or face the consequence – the burning fiery furnace.

#20: Trial By Fire

What comes to mind when you think of a preacher or minister? Many picture a very mild man who wears “Mr. Roger” sweaters and has a sweet disposition – one who makes friends with everyone he meets. They don’t think of someone who lives alone, dresses in rough clothing, and offends many of the people who hear him preach. Yet, this is exactly what John the baptizer was. A man that lived in the desert, away from most people, and preached stern lessons exposing sin and called on people to repent. In this episode, we are going to see what this type of preaching led for John – his death. To learn more about this episode and to sign up to receive a daily Bible affirmation go to BibleInfo.co.
