The Power of Christ On The Cross | Luke 23: 39–49 | Joey Zorina

Where was God in the darkest of times? Here, we see the darkest day in human history. This was the day Jesus was crucified with two criminals (vv. 39–43), leading to his death and burial (vv. 44–49). By this time, Jesus had already appeared to Pilate the Roman governor. The Jews had accused Jesus of misleading the nation and forbidding them to give tax to Caesar (v. 2). Pilate had wanted to release Jesus. But the Jews demanded that a murderer, Barabbas, be released instead (v. 18). So Jesus was led away to be crucified with two thieves. In our passage, we’ll see: a) The response of sinners on the cross. b) The darkness that came over the cross. c) The believers of Jesus at the cross.
