Introduction

A life defined by the cross is transformed and lives with eternal purpose.

1. The cross reveals our sin. (vv. 17–19)

Justice and forgiveness meet in harmony at the cross of Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:9-10 Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. 10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

2 Corinthians 5:21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

2. The cross reveals God’s love.

Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.

John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

     3. The cross redeems us.

4. The cross requires our attention.

      Committed (v. 17)

Luke 23:46 Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And having said this he breathed his last.

Psalm 31:5 Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.

      Compassion (v. 18)

Luke 23:34 And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments.

       Complacency (vv. 23–24)
