  12. At The Cross Two significant events at the cross of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. • The creature murdered the Creator. • The Creator saved the creature.

  13. At The Cross Two significant events took place yet three symbolic facts were introduced. • Rejection • Repentance • Redemption

  14. At The Cross The cross of rejection is often found in un-repentance, and unbelief. This heart is hard, even unto the time of death. There is nothing that they would believe or receive relating to the Gospel. This heart is always rebellious and bitter. The heart of doubt and questions.

  15. At The Cross This is that heart which have no shame, nor remorse in the life that they live…..contrary to the Word of God. When one rejects the Gospel (the Savior), they are dooming their soul to an eternal hell (Rev 20:13-15). This man….(on the first cross) died in his sins.

  16. At The Cross The cross of repentance often leads to salvation, and there is always hope in Christ Jesus. The second cross is symbolic of repentance, yet it opened the door for reconciliation deliverance, peace, renewal, and a place in paradise. The cross of repentance demonstrates that whosoever will, can be saved.

  17. At The Cross We must keep a spiritual perspective of repentance in mind by not allowing a religious formation to pervert its purpose. Nothing religious should have to take place before repentance is demonstrated or embraced. The second criminal did not have time to perform a religious ceremony.

  18. At The Cross True sorrow and repentance is demonstrated when the repentance is noted in the heart and the mind of the person (2 Cor 7:12). The second criminal had a sincere change of heart, not just because he was a criminal, but because he realized who Christ was. Thus, we should always be prepared to be a an effective witness for Christ.

  19. At The Cross Effective witnessing can cause someone to look beyond “right now shame”….and towards the coming Glory of God. Effective witnessing can cause someone to fear God and turn towards Christ. Effective witnessing can cause someone's faith to rise above one who is seasoned.

  20. At The Cross Ransom, by means of a price. The cross of redemption demonstrates that we are not able or qualified to save ourselves. It is that place where someone took our place for sin; yet He offered us an opportunity to call upon Him for salvation. The cross of redemption took special qualifications, of which we could not qualify.

  21. At The Cross Redemption occurred when true repentance was released. Redemption occurred when it was sought. Redemption was given, because it is the will of God…..that no man shall perish. 2 Ptr 3:8-9

  22. At The Cross Redemption is the Just dying for the unjust. Redemption is the way to heaven (John 14:6). Redemption demonstrates the awesome love of God to all people (John 15:13). Redemption is symbolic of beauty, joy, and rest (2 Cor 12:4; Rev 2:7).

  23. At The Cross The cross of redemption gave all who believed direct and intimate access to God like never before (Matt 27:50-51). The cross of redemption did not just save….but it gave as well. Victory, light, power, revelation, ministry, hope, gifts, purpose, etc. The cross of redemption brought no burdens, no pains, no sickness, no evils, no wickedness…..only love.
