Christ's Suffering

Last evening, Pastor John O'Dell taught our church family about the suffering of Christ on the cross from Matthew 27:45-46. The message was not recorded, but we captured the following points from his lesson. Christ's suffering on the cross...

1. demonstrates the depth of God's love.
2. demonstrates the vileness of sin.
3. demonstrates the severity of God's judgment on sin.
4. demonstrates the deceitfulness of the human heart, with regard to the people who witnessed His torture and suffering, yet were unmoved (Jeremiah 17:9).
5. shows that believers will not be forsaken, because Jesus was forsaken for them.
