Ep. 76: The Miraculous Moments of Calvary: Part 1

How The Bible Reveals and Protects Our Constitutional Rights

Summary

In this profound episode, we venture deep into the darkness, emptiness, and separation that enveloped the world on the day of Christ's crucifixion. The words "emptiness," "darkness," "sadness," "grimness," and "gruesomeness" only begin to capture the intensity of the experience Jesus endured as He bore the weight of humanity's sins on the cross.

Matthew 27:45-53 unfolds the remarkable account of six miracles that transpired on that fateful Good Friday. Verse 45 ominously states that darkness covered the land, prompting reflection on Jesus' declaration in John 8:12, "I am the light of the world." On that cross, the sinless Lamb of God was suddenly shrouded in supernatural darkness, signifying His intimate separation from the Father and the weight of God's wrath.

Verse 46 echoes the heart-wrenching cry of Jesus, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" We delve into the depths of His anguish and the profound separation He experienced while bearing the sins of humanity. Although Jesus was not naturally separated from the Father, the intimate fellowship was momentarily broken as He became sin for us.

The supernatural separation led to Jesus' ultimate declaration, "It is finished" (John 19:30), signifying the accomplishment of redemption. Jesus voluntarily yielded His life, a powerful testament to His love for humanity. He laid down His life of His own accord, as seen in John 10:17-18.

The episode concludes with the miraculous moment when Jesus yielded His spirit, descending into the loving embrace of His Father. This act, driven by love, demonstrates the depths of His sacrifice for us.

Listeners are invited to reflect on how their own emptiness, darkness, sadness, and grimness can be transformed through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The episode encourages all to receive the free gift of salvation and invites them to explore more profound truths in upcoming episodes, including the continuation of the miracles in Matthew 27:54-61.

Finally, listeners are invited to attend Liberty Christian Fellowship church to hear Pastor Wallace preach the liberating gospel of Christ Jesus, further illuminating the transformative power of His sacrifice.
