Here are the 12 selected quotes:
"Here in a matter of just a few words, Luke describes for us the most famous and certainly the most significant death in all of human history and he does so with a purposeful reticence and with a perfect restraint. We've already seen back in verse 33 that he took only three words in Greek to describe the crucifixion and there they crucified him." [00:01:39]
"There is a sense in which the very simplicity of these words, the uncluttered nature of the narrative stirs up for us thoughts that lie too deep for tears remember our writer is a doctor, he has an eye for detail he expressed this in his introduction it was he said the result of careful investigation, it was the provision of an orderly account." [00:03:19]
"Think about this with me we have observed the fact that there was if you like a coalition of hatred that there was a combined sense of disparate individuals uniting in the cause of seeing Jesus put to death, but as we have watched that unfold we have done so in light of all of the things that Jesus has said prior to that." [00:05:12]
"Jesus went to the cross willingly he did not go there helplessly, John records the fact that Jesus had said I freely lay down my life no one takes it from me I lay it down of my own free will now that's unusual, that is unusual if you think of all of the people that you have seen in the extremity of life as they have faced death." [00:07:15]
"Now right around the 16th of August I think it was maybe the 14th of August probably the 14th of August we had a blackout here in the northeast didn't we and it was unsettling all of a sudden people felt a little more vulnerable than usual suddenly there was an eerie kind of darkness and people remark to one another I wonder what this is about." [00:08:09]
"Here we have the celebration of the Passover in Jerusalem the Jewish people have been celebrating this for hundreds of years they recalled that the final plague before the arrival of the angel of death was that of darkness over all the land that that had been God's last word to Pharaoh before the angel came that on that occasion only those who were protected by the blood of the Passover lamb awakened in the morning to find their firstborn still with them." [00:10:13]
"And it is as sin bearer that Jesus enters into the presence of the sinless God carrying with him no substitutionary sacrifice for people how could a priest ever go before God without a sacrifice we know that the priest had to make a sacrifice for his own sin and then he made sacrifice for the sins of those whom he represented." [00:13:11]
"The tearing of the curtain makes the same and obvious point namely that this gigantic mechanism barred the way of men and women to God said that there was only certain ritualistic ways in which you could meet God certain times in which you could find God certain individuals who might introduce you to God in much the same way that people this morning think about religion and rightly so." [00:15:48]
"Jesus verse 46 called out with a loud voice now you will notice that each of the gospel writers make something of this and of course they should because crucifixion was routinely a long gradual loss of strength and consciousness whatever strength the victim may have had in the initial moments of their pain if they had breath in the early hours to hurl abuse at their captors." [00:17:11]
"Interestingly his life was not ebbing away the way that it normally happens indeed it appeared as though he just came to a point where he decided that it was time for him to leave he came to a point where he decided that his work had been accomplished that he was done and he and he said I'm out of here after all of the darkness and all of the dereliction." [00:21:03]
"Can you remember back to your childhood when you fell asleep on a trip and you spent the final few miles of the journey in a state of semi-consciousness coming to recognizing traffic lights without opening your eyes knowing because you know the road so well and then finally that moment where you feel yourself being picked up out of the back seat and you open your eyes just long enough to look up and see it's my dad." [00:23:36]
"Incidentally that is death for the Christian what you fear most you won't experience you'll fall asleep in the arms of Jesus and you're waking up and you're in your own room well this was very unsettling total blackout divine vandalism and what a grand finale what it looks like for us to entrust ourselves to our loving father a picture of eternal comfort." [00:26:23]
