Lord At Thy Death – Matthew 27:51-54

Preacher:
Passage: Matthew 27:51-54
Service Type:

A well known Christmas hymn echoes... “Jesus, Lord at Thy birth...”. Our text today reminds us that just as striking as beholding the Lordship and sovereignty of Christ in His incarnation as a helpless babe, so it can be said of His work on Calvary as well. That is to say: “Jesus, Lord at Thy death”. Immediately upon the finished work on the cross, while Jesus still hung lifeless on that humiliating, cruel, implement of torture, heaven and earth ascribe glory to Him. A series of events demonstrate that everything must bow or will be broken by the advent of Christ crucified. Throughout covenant history we see a pattern which signals milestones achieved in redemption. These times and events are highlighted by intrusion of the supernatural in extraordinary ways. It stands to reason therefore, that the ministry and message of Christ would be launched with such profound and miraculous signs.
