Sermon Outline:
Matthew 26:36–39 (NKJV)
36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.”
37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.
38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”
39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”
Matthew 27:45–46 (NKJV)
45 Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
I The wrath of God
II What did Jesus go through on the Cross?
III From what are we saved?
God’s wrath is his righteousness reacting against
unrighteousness.
J. I. Packer
It is the cross … that reveals the most violent and mysterious
outpouring of the wrath of God that we find anywhere in
Scripture.
R. C. Sproul
The most terrible warning to impenitent men in all the world is
the death of Christ. For if God spared not his own Son, on
whom was only laid imputed sin, will he spare sinners whose
sins are their own?
C. H. Spurgeon
