Sermon Outline
 

The Work of Christ on the Cross

Mark 15:33-41

 

1.  The Darkness reminds us of our need to be rescued.

           

 

Amos 8:9

 

Exodus 10: 21-23

But “nothing we can do, say, offer or even contribute can compensate for our sins or turn away God’s anger. There is no possibility of persuading, cajoling or bribing God to forgive us, for we deserve nothing at his hands but judgment. [Stott, The Cross of Christ, p. 173]

 

 

 

2.  The Cross Reveals the means of our Rescue

Eph 1:7; Heb 9:15; Isaiah 59: 2; 1 Thes 1:9

 

 

 

3.  The Cross Reveals the End of our Rescue

 

            1.  A Gentile representative confesses the deity of Jesus. Psalm 22: 27

 

            2.  The dominion of God is recognized.  In 15:43; Psalm 22:28

 

            3.  The resurrection comes in chapter 16.  Psalm 22:29

 

            4.  Gospel Proclamation is encouraged.  16:7; Psalm 22:30

 

 

 

Practical applications.

 

  • If God hates sin this much, so should I.
  • Jesus is faithful, so should I be. 
  • Jesus uses biblical language to express his grief, so should I.
  • The veil was torn in two, declaring among other things, that there would be no more signs or symbols.  Jesus is the only reality.  I must learn to know him and his ways.
  • Jesus trusted God and hoped in him.  I must learn to do so, as well. 
  • Christ has died to redeem people from every nation, so I should hope in Christ to overcome my fears and be involved in carrying the Gospel to others.
  • The cross work of Christ must be at the center of every life issue we face, whether it is in putting something sinful away or putting on something righteous.
  • Because Christ has redeemed us, we belong to him.  We have no right to give ourselves to another.
