Have you ever experienced tenacious, relentless love? Mary Magdalene loved Jesus a lot. People who are forgiven much love greatly. The first to see Jesus after the resurrection, she held on to Jesus like her life depended on him. Imagine being loved that much. Ponder a love that will never let us go. What if Someone loves you like that? Message based on John 20:1-2, 11-18.Quotes: Duane Brooks: There is something about Mary Magdalene; When you lose something you go back to the place you last saw it. Duane Brooks: Mary loved a lot. Her love would not let Jesus go.Charles Spurgeon: In thinking over this subject, I have come to the conclusion that Mary Magdalene was selected to see Christ first because she loved him most. John loved Jesus much, but Mary loved him more.  John looked into the empty sepulchre, and then went away home; but Mary stood there, and wept, until her risen Lord appeared to her. Love, you know, is a keen-eyed grace. Love will look for Jesus, and discover him where none else can. Mary stayed

Jesus knew he had work to do and a time to complete it. This purpose guided him. At the cross, his hour had finally come, his work was coming to completion, and he cried out, “I thirst.” This was the fifth of his seven sayings from the cross. What does it mean that Jesus, fully human and fully divine felt his thirst. Once again, he is fulfilling Psalm 22. How could the God who created the oceans, lakes, rivers and streams thirst? What had happened to him?  What does it mean for us? Message based on John 19:28-29.Quotes:Duane Brooks: Jesus' thirst shows us the reality and the completeness of his own self-emptying.Lupe Rojas: Only God Knows.Duane Brooks: Jesus is God and he knew what he was doing. So when he cried out, I thirst, in a way, what Jesus is showing us is the reality and the completeness of his own self emptying. Jesus is showing us that he knows the time has come and his thirst is just a reminder that everything he's been doing for his Father in this whole journey, it reveals the incarnati

Do you ever feel forsaken? Perhaps you have heard the expression “God-forsaken” used to describe a place or a person. Is anybody really God-forsaken? In our fourth study of Jesus’ words from the cross we see that he chose to use the words of Psalm 22 to express his prayer to his Father. It is sometimes called the “cry of dereliction.” The verse gives us a lens into Jesus’ thoughts on the cross. A song from years ago illumines our thoughts today: “I’m forgiven because You were forsaken.” Message based on Matthew 27:45-47.  Quotes: Duane Brooks: I know we are not supposed to ask why.Jeremy Begbie: Lord, you are creator and sovereign, but why did the wind come like a snake and tear our roofs off? Why why did a mob cut short the life of one of our own children when he had everything to live for? Over and over again, Lord, we are in the midst of death. Tom Long: Elijah wasn't coming. No squadron of angels was about to show up. Peter wasn't going to come and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. He was

Seven words of love. What did Jesus say when he was on the cross? First, he prayed for forgiveness for those who crucified him. Second, he offered a promise of paradise to a thief. Then he saw his mom and his best friend. As he saved the world, Jesus took time to take care of his family. This is the way. Walk in it! Message based on John 19:25-27.Quotes: Duane Brooks: In some ways, the church begins with one act of obedience to God's work in the world.Fleming Rutledge: The saying is not only, I would say, I soften it, about being nice to your mother. It is about the new community that comes into being through the power of Jesus. It is cruciform in shape.Stanley Hauerwas: It's hard to remember that Jesus did not come to make us safe, but rather to make us disciples, citizens of God's new age, a kingdom of surprise.A. W. Tozer:  The old cross slew men; the new cross entertains them. The old cross condemned; the new cross amuses. The old cross destroyed confidence in the flesh; the new cross encou

What do we want from God? One thief wanted Jesus to get him off the cross. The other one wanted Jesus to remember him when he came in his kingdom. Jesus made a promise to the second one.

C. Ryle: One thief on the cross was saved, that none should despair; and only one, that none should presume. What do we want from the suffering Savior? Duane Brooks: If you had an audience with Jesus and you could ask him for anything in the world, what would you ask? What would you ask him for?Samuel Johnson, the poet said, between the stirrup and the ground, think of a person falling from a horse, who cries out to God for salvation. Between the stirrup and the ground, mercy I sought, Mercy I found. Don't despair. Eeroelos: It could be thousands of years. It's just the next thing you know.Bus Driver: Today, it's a
