  Speaker 2: today is Forsaken by God. It's not a question, but
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I'm incredulous, like this is tough for me. Forsaken by God. Yes,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: we'll get into that in just a moment, but first
• 1:05

• 1:39

• 1:43
  Speaker 2: we have. Please don't let this just be another passion story.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Please help this not just to be another thing that
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: we assign to what some people call Easter, like some
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: people call Christmas. Father, please help us to actually worship
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: you and not see it as a children's story, but
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: as a story of love toward us that is immeasurable,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: and that we will truly truly yield ourselves to you,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: beginning now in Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen again.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Forsaken by God, O Lord, this one is tough for me.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: It's tough for me because because God's people forsook Jesus.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: And when I say God's people, I mean the ones
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: who are supposed to be leaders of the people, the scribes,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: some of them the Pharisee, some of them Sadducees, some
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: of them the lawyers of or the people who are
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: to be the purveyors of the law of God too,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: some of them, most of them. And when the Bible
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: says that he came unto his own and his own
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: received him, not that is amazing to me. It's terrible.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Why in the world is God so good to us?
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Why is he so patient with us? When he was
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: in the mount bringing ushering Moses into the mount, like
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: inviting Moses into the mount with him, when Moses said,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: if you have found favor with me, show me your glory.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: And then and then God appears in the whatever way
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: that Moses could could handle. He he and he begins
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: to trumpet his character, the Lord, the Lord God, like
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: when you when you get an opportunity read in Exodus
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: chapters thirty three and forward. Ah. And he talks about
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: how he gives mercy to generations. But he will in
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: no wise clear the guilty. God is so merciful, even
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: though he is the judge of the universe. He's so
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: merciful and gives us as much as many opportunities as
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: can be useful to us. Is it hundreds, is it thousands,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: is it millions of opportunities? I don't know, But we
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: don't want to find out what the end of his
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: mercy is. We want to capitalize and max capitalize upon
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: and maximize in this moment the reality that God is
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: merciful and not take it for granted, not take him
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: for granted. And so the Bible reads in Mark chapter fifteen,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: beginning at verse thirty three, And when the sixth hour
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: was come, it was darkness over the whole land until
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour, you see
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Jesus is just about to give his life. He's about
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: to die, He's about to breathe his last breath with
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: all of those painful marks on his body now and
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: he has been forsaken by the people who are supposed
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: to be leaders. He's forsaken by his twelve disciples, and
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: one of his disciples had a devil, and now he
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: is having this feeling, this eerie feeling, and he cried
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: with a loud voice, and all of that pain that
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: he is suffering Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani is being interpreted,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? You
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: imagine Jesus, the one who created the heavens and the earth,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the one who was with God the Father, when they said,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: let us make man in our own image and in
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: our likeness, when they said let us go down and
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: confuse their language at the Tower of babel Ah, the
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: one who created all things animate and inanimate. Jesus Christ
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: is now on the cross, having taken on human form,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: taken on now the guilt of every sin that has
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: ever been committed, so that anybody who is actually confessing
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: our sins, anybody who actually repents of our sins because
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: of what Jesus did on the cross and beyond and beyond.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I wish I had the time for the beyond. But
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the Bible is saying that he has provided everything that
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: we need, so that we will now have to be
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: judged as guilty. We can be free when the accuser
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: of the brethren, who actually does know exactly what evil
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: we've done, when he hurls insults and he charges us
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: with crimes that we have committed, that they will be
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: seen as false because Jesus stands. Jesus stands as our redeemer.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Jesus stands in place of us in terms of our
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: righteousness when the law is now judging me, the law
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: is only seeing the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ. But
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: now he's feeling forsaken. And some of them that stood
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: by when they heard it, said, behold, he calleth Elias.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: And then one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: And I've already said what that was yesterday, and put
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: it on a read and gave him to drink, saying,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: let him alone, let's see whether Elias will come to
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: take him down. These people were dark, they were wicked,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: and Jesus cried with a loud voice in that moment.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: He cried with a loud voice when he, if he
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: chose to, could have relieved his own suffering. He cried
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: with a loud voice, feeling in the moment forsaken by God.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: When he could have called twelve legions or more of
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: angels to his aid to do what they would have
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: gladly done in destroying these wicked people, he cried with
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: a loud voice, feeling forsaken by God. For you, the
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Bible says, he cried with a loud voice. And then
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: he gave up the ghost that means he died. And
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: then the veil of the temple was rent in Twain
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: from the top of the to the bottom. This thick
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: curtain that separated separated the people from justice. They separated
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: the people not to go into the place where the
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: presence of God was palpable. When Jesus gave up the
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: ghost the Bible says that God ripped that separator from
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: the top of the temple down to the bottom. And
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: when the centurion stood over against him, he saw that
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: he had cried out and gave up the ghosts. So
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: you see, this centurion got it. This Roman soldier, he
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: got it. He got it, He got it. He said, truly,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: this man was the son of God. As people, many
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: of them did not get it because they chose to
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: be willingly ignorant. They had seared their consciences as with
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: a hot iron. Are you searing your conscience with as
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: with a hot iron? In twenty twenty four h at
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: eight minutes and some seconds, are you just waiting for
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: me to be done? Like brother, you said that already?
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Why are you so passionate? We've heard it get to
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: the point. Are you there? Or are you worshiping God
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: in your heart? In the spirit of holiness? In this
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: moment and seeing yourself at the foot of the cross
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: and saying God, I thank you, I thank you for
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: what you have done for me. I thank you for
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: delivering me from my sins. I thank you for giving
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: my children, my friends, my family, the opportunity strangers on
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: the road that I may never meet, an opportunity to
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: be your children and to live forever. This is between
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: you and God. But this man, he realized what was
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: going out. He knew what was going on, Verse forty.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: And also there were women looking afar off, among whom
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Mary Magdalene, the Mary the mother of James less end
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: of Joseph, and Salomi, who also when he was in Galilee,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: followed him and ministered unto him, and many other women
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: which came up with him unto Jerusalem. They all witnessed this.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Who was transformed? You're witnessing this? Are you being transformed?
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Peace? Thanks for joining us listening.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Friends.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
• 9:53
