“When the Curtain was Torn”
Pastor Joey Anjiki
1. Darkness came over the whole land
* Testimony of historians
* When darkness covered the whole land... The time for Jesus to experience harsh pain
2. The reason for quoting Psalm 22
* Why did Jesus quote Psalm 22 when he was experiencing pain on the cross?
(1) To express his current state of mind
(2) To proclaim that prophesy was being fulfilled right then
* Psalm 22:14 “I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted within me.” (NIV)
* Psalm 22:18 “They divide my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment.” (NIV)
* Psalm 22:7-8 “All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads. ‘He trusts in the LORD,’ they say, ‘let the LORD rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him.’” (NIV)
(3) The words He cried out in place of us
(4) To proclaim that the pain of the cross didn’t end in pain, but in victory
3. The salvation of the centurion
* Luke 23:46 “Jesus called out with a loud voice, ‘Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.’ When he had said this, he breathed his last.” (NIV)
* Mark 15:38 (See above)
* Hebrews 4:16 “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” (NIV)
* The salvation of the centurion: Foretelling that the time will come when the barrier between the two nations will disappear and the Gentiles will be able to be saved
* John 1:12 “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” (NIV)
