Mt. Olive Baptist Church | 6/4/23
Mark 15:33-41
The Sixth Hour
.
.
We have three different speakers in this passage.
The Father spoke
God sent darkness on the earth.
This communicated that all the sins of the world were being put on Jesus, and also the sadness of God the Father over sin and the death of His Son.
The Son spoke
Jesus makes two statements with His cry from the cross:
1. He was pointing people to the prophecy in Psalm 22
2.“It is finished” - a financial term that means “the debt is paid in full”.
The Centurion spoke
We each have a response before God - whether or not we accept this work that was done for us.
The difference in this choice is whether we’ll spend eternity in heaven or hell.
This is not just a prayer that you pray and you move on. It is a life-changing experience.
