Final Hours

The Last Sayings of Jesus

Final Hours: Forgiveness

February 23, 2020 • Casey Linch

Jesus has been beaten, mocked, forced to carry his cross, then crucified between two thieves. Yes, in his first words spoken from the cross, he forgives. Nearly 2000 years later, Jesus still offers us forgiveness when we aren't deserving. But, we often have to deal with our own stuff before we we're willing to accept it.

Final Hours: Assurance

Two criminals. One Savior. Both equally close to the man who can pardon their sin, yet only one accepts the grace offered. Like the other thief, we can be so close to the story, yet miss it altogether.

Final Hours: Love

As he hung on the cross paying for the world's sin, Jesus still recognized the needs of others. In his precious final moments, Jesus addresses his mother, Mary, and one of his best friends and demonstrates his love in yet another way.

Final Hours: Substitution

The sky darkened, as God turned his back on the sin of the world. In doing so, he separated Himself from Jesus, who was paying the ultimate penalty. In an extraordinary exchange, Jesus pardoned us while experiencing the bleakest and most grim moments in history on the cross.

Final Hours: Humanity

Mike continued our look at the final sayings of Jesus on the cross in our “Final Hours” series. When Jesus cried, “I’m thirsty,” it revealed three things about Jesus. We learned something theologically, prophetically, and personally about our Savior. Is there anything from the sermon that especially challenged you, confused you, or stood out to you?

Final Hours: Victory

Mike continued our look at the final sayings of Jesus on the cross in our “Final Hours” series. When Jesus cried out “It is finished,” He knew that His life and sacrificial death had accomplished the mission given to Him by His Father. In the message, Mike explained that Jesus: Fulfilled the Scripture, Satisfied the Law, Paid our Penalty, Conquered Sin and Death, and Defeated the Devil. In this study, let’s take a closer look at three of these.

Final Hours: Trust

Mike delivered the final message in our series “Final Hours” on the final sayings of Jesus on the cross. The very last words of Jesus – “Father, I entrust my spirit into your hands!” – remind us of four things we should remember during tough times: I have a Father in heaven who loves me, My Father can be trusted, My Father is doing things I can’t see, and He can handle anything I give Him.
