Sermons On Mark
Eloi Eloi Lema Sabachthani
There have been many famous people who have uttered memorable words in their final moments of life. Last words say a lot about a person's state of mind and character. Nowhere else is this more true than with Jesus' last words from the Cross. His words during this intense time of suffering captivate those who are willing to look and see their meaning to those there that day, to us in this present time, and for each individual's future. Let's look at this gruesome and glorious day in history, where the Words and Work of Jesus speak loudly of God's love, justice, holiness, mercy and grace.

The Death of Jesus, Part 2 (Mark 15:33-41)
The atonement made by Jesus in his death has innumerable facets. Considering four of these facets in particular, we see Jesus as the triumphant king (<em>Christus victor</em>); the mediator who bridges the gap of sin that separates us from God; the ultimate moral example for us; and chief of all, our own sacrifice and substitute suffering under and completely satisfying the wrath of God in our place and whose righteousness now clothes us.

Faith in the Darkness
The darkness that surrounded the cross of Jesus was a darkness behind which God hid his face, causing Jesus to cry out with feelings of abandonment. But the actions of two Marys and a man named Joseph remind us that we must press on with faith in the midst of the darkness.
