Good Friday A Meditation of Christ's Crucifixion (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)

Roger Thrower, April 2, 2021
Part of the Good Friday series, preached at a Sunday Morning service

In 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Paul writes:
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures…

Luke 22:19-20 - And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.

The precise medical term for how Jesus died is
“traumatic hemorrhagic shock.”

Hebrews 12:3-4 - Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. 4 In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

The Seven Statements of Jesus on the cross

2. Luke 23:43: Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise. Salvation
3. John 19:26–27: Woman, behold your son. Son, behold your mother. Relationship - Belonging

Distress
6. John 19:30: It is finished.
