S4 E1: The story so far (and still to come)

Welcome to season 4!
As we continue the story of Scripture, we are jumping into God's Persistence from 1 Kings 11 through Nehemiah. Here we see the heart of God as he promises to give his people a new heart and Spirit within them. In this opening episode we look back at the story so far and still to come asking how each part of Scripture shapes the way we see God, ourselves, and this world.

Last Words: Sunday, the last word

Passion Week Devotional: Last Words
HE IS RISEN! This reality affirms everything that Jesus said from the cross. That he has the power to forgive his enemies, offer salvation to the sinner, and comfort for those he loves. The cross is the great victory, reversal, and affirmation of everything Jesus said from the cross. It is finished because he is risen.
God gets the last word... and affirms every word he has ever spoken.

Knowing that all had been done for our salvation, Jesus reveals the means of salvation: himself. In these two words, "I thirst," we see the full humanity and divinity of Christ at play.

Last Words: #4 My God, My God...

After speaking to those around him, Jesus lifts his eyes to his Father in heaven. Only this time, he does not see the Father's smile, only his wrath. While quoting Psalm 22, we get a window into a reality we cannot fathom. The object of the Father's greatest love became the object of his greatest wrath.

Last Words: #3 Woman, behold your son

Jesus has offered forgiveness to his enemies, salvation to the sinner, and now, he offers comfort to those he loves. Knowing his mother would be left without care, Jesus calls on John to care for his mother after he is gone. So far, Jesus has yet to speak of himself upon the cross. He simply keeps loving those around him... even to the end.
