The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ Mark 15:33-39

33 And when the sixth hour[a] had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.[b] 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 35 And some of the bystanders hearing it said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.” 36 And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.” 37 And Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed his last. 38 And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. 39 And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he[c] breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son[d] of God!”

S.P.A.C.E.P.E.T.S
SIN- failing to truly remember and recognize the reality of Jesus, son of Gd.
PROMISE/ATTITUDE- I need to stop taking Jesus lightly, taking Gd lightly
COMMAND/EXAMPLE/PRAYER- Gd forgive is, Gd help us, have mercy PLEASE
ERROR- sacrificing the Son of Gd?! Do I sacrifice Jesus throughout my day, or life? Do I sacrifice him for the sake of something else?
TRUTH- Jesus IS the son of Gd.
SOMETHING to Praise- Thank you for not forsaking Jesus. Thank you for Jesus.

POV- Witnesses, Disciples, Sponge Guy, Centurion

Witness- terror, just terror. What is happening? How is this possible? Why is it pitch black outside at noon, we are going to die? All of us, why? Who do I worship to save my soul?

Disciples- heart wrenching- Did I just dedicate the last 5 years of my life to some guy that's just going to die a humiliating death in public? Grief/Mourn- But, wait, is he calling for Elijah, maybe Elijah will come and the angels and save Jesus and my reputation. Confusion- Why is this happening? I do want to believe Jesus, but he's just dying, why, why is this happening? What is Gd allowing this to happen?

Sponge Guy- Maybe this Jesus should live. Maybe, maybe he didn't do anything wrong. I should give him something to drink, to help, or something.

Centurion- What have we done? This is it. I am quitting my job.

APPLY IT
The reality of Jesus. It's not magic. It's not philosophical. It's not even spiritual. It's real. This is real.

PRAYER
Help me to realize, and remember how real the Bible, the sacrifice of your son is. Please awaken in my soul, your power, your real power to respect it. I need your spirit to understand and live accordingly Be as real today as you were then.
