Gospel Meeting 30/08/2015

Mr. Steve Davies gave a report on his and Gill's work in Dar-es-Salaam Tanzania, how that many children and their families are hearing and learning the Word of God at the Kindergarten and the kids clubs.
In the evening Steve read Luke 23 vs.33-34.
33  And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
34  Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
1/ THERE.
2/ THEY.
3/ CRUCIFIED.
4/ HIM.

1/ Calvary, Golgotha, The Place of a Skull, The Place of Execution. Pain, suffering, death. Normally the place of no return. In our sin we are facing a place of no return.

2/ The Sadducees, The Pharisees, Abandoned the His own disciples, Denied by Peter, Jewish leaders, Roman Governor, Herod, The Jewish People cried Crucify Him Crucify Him.
They found no fault in Him and yet condemned Him. They freed Barabbas and set the Lord Jesus at naught.

3/ They put nails through His hands and feet, it was an awful death, they hung Him up to die.

4/ Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, Jesus - Saviour. Born of a virgin.
He blessed people with His preaching, His miracles, healing etc.
 Immanuel  God with us, God the Saviour.
Yet He was despised and rejected of men.
He saved others but not Himself.
 2 Corinthians 5 vs.21  For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Isaiah 53 vs.3  He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 ¶  Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5  But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7  He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
Whosoever believes and turns from their sin, He paid the price for us.
He rose again and is alive. What is your response to God's love.
God's Salvation means; Eternal Life, Forgiveness, Cleansing, Freedom from guilt, Joy, Peace, Indwelt by the Holy Spirit, Daily strength etc. etc.
What will you do with Jesus who is called Christ.

Acts 16 vs.31  And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,
He may return or you may die so your decision is urgent.
