Now more than ever before should you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Be prepared, armor yourself with the blood of Jesus Christ and be resurrected into the right hand of God.

Amen.

Many unbelievers now recognize that these are the final days. When speaking of this era the Scriptures caution us to pray so as to escape the terrible tribulation to come.

Passover 32 AD
9:00am -- the nation's Paschal sacrifice inspected by the ruling high priest. It is declared to have "no fault," tied to the altar for six hours; outside the city Christ is nailed to the cross after Pilate's "I find no fault." Suffers physical torment.

12:00pm - 3:00pm -- The darkness falls on the land as Christ prays Psalm 22 ( "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me? . . . "). Earthquake. Presiding centurion declares "Truly, this is the Son of God."

3:00pm -- the high priest slaughters the sacrificial lamb; announces to thousands of on-lookers "It is finished") At that moment Christ dies on the cross with the conclusion of Psalm 22 (It is finished -- ie. payment made for mankind's sins). His ordeal is successfully completed and later confirmed by the Father thru the resurrection..

Three years prior to this Jesus had told the renown Jewish teacher Nicodemus "(like the brazen serpent raised on the pole in the wilderness camp to deliver dying Jews . . .even so the Son of Man must be lifted up to deliver believing mankind whosoever (Jew or Gentile) believes shall not perish but have eternal life."

ALL the propitiation has been made. All has been finished by the work of Jesus Christ on Calvary. A simple faith in Christ is what saves us from a dreadful eternity and provides eternal life.
