Of the seven statements Christ uttered from the cross, two stand out as being extremely significant in confirming what was being accomplished through the atoning sacrifice of Christ. The question My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? gives us a sense of what was in the cup of Gods wrathful judgment, which Jesus drank to its bitterest dregs on our behalf. The exclamation It is finished! unquestionably assures us that the Saviors atoning sacrifice accomplished what was necessary in satisfactorily paying the debt owed for our sin.
Your gratitude and faith will be strengthened as you read this book.
