Memory Verse for the Week: Luke 23:46-47 (ESV)

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. Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God, saying, “Certainly this man was innocent!”

Inro: How well do you understand a crucifixion?

THE ACT OF CRUCIFIXION
What actually happens in a crucifixion, and in Jesus’ crucifixion in particular?

THE HORROR & THE MEANING
What did Jesus suffer, and why is that significant?

THE UNIMAGINABLE IMPACT
What are the consequences of what Jesus endured and accomplished?

YOU CAN PRAY WITH US …

1. Worship the LORD for His long-suffering patience and kindness, even when we are, by nature, objects of wrath. Praise Him, Father, Son and Holy Spirit for His righteousness AND mercy.

2. How have you lived, minimizing how badly your sin offends your Maker while insisting that those who offend you should pay for their wrongs? Confess your pride and inconsistency to Jesus, asking Him to forgive you and change your heart.

3. Give thanks to Jesus for joyfully following His Father’s mission of forgiveness. Thank Him for giving Himself in our place to remove the wrath we deserve and for opening us access to His Father now in redemption.

4. Who do you know that underestimates the impact of their selfishness and pride? Pray for them, asking the Lord to help them to see their own wrath-deserving record and that Jesus came to show mercy even to people like them.

5. Ask the Holy Spirit to bear in you the fruit of love, peace and kindness. Read Psalm 103:8-12. Rejoice in what the LORD has removed from you, so that you can put away wrath, to live instead with a free and loving heart.
