It was the 6th hour by Jewish
reckoning, 12 noon and darkness
covered the whole land.
Jesus is on the cross.
Mark records that at the 9th hour,
that is 3pm, Jesus cried out to God
asking why He had forsaken Him, quoting
Psalm 22:1.
Dr. Mitchell gives us the benefit of the
death of Christ found in Romans 3:24-26.
Jesus became and still is the propitiation
for our sins because of His blood poured
out at the cross. In so doing, God’s
righteousness was vindicated and now God
is free to righteously forgive sins in mercy
without compromising His holiness.
Not only that, the one who believes in this
Lord Jesus Christ, God can now justly
declare as saved from those sins for all
time and eternity.
Is this not the best news?
Here is Dr. Mitchell with the good news
of Jesus Christ, on the Unchanging Word
Bible Broadcast, Mark 15:33-38.
