Luke 23:3434 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”Luke 23:42-4342 Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” 43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”Matthew 27:45-4645 Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”Psalm 22:11 My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, And from the words of My groaning?Psalm 22:33 But You are holy,…2 Corinthians 5:21 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.1 John 3:5 5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.Psalm 22:33 But You are holy,…John 19: 25-2325 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold your son 27 Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. 28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” 29 Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. 30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!”Ephesians 6:22 “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise:Matthew 5:1717 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.Romans 3:23 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:2525 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,Luke 23:4646 And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.'John 19:30 30 …And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.

Isaiah 53:22 …He has no form or comeliness; and when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him.Isaiah 50:66 I gave My back to those who struck Me, And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.Mark 14:65Then some of them began to spit on Him. They blindfolded Him, struck Him with their fists, and said to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in His face.John 19:1-31. Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged. 2. The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, set it on His head, and dressed Him in a purple robe. 3. And they went up to Him again and again, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapping Him in the face.Matthew 27:30Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.Mark 15:19They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.John 18:22When Jesus had said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped Him in the face and said, “Is this how You answer the high priest?”Isaiah 53:3-123 He is despised and [d]rejected by men, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief and we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. 4 Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by 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 has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment,and who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgressions of My people He was stricken. 9 And they made His grave with the wicked but with the rich at His death, because He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth. 10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. 11. He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. by His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, for He shall bear their iniquities. 12 …and He was numbered with the transgressors, and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.1 Peter 2:24-2524 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. 25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.2 Corinthians 5:2121 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.1 John 2:22 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of child sexual assault. In today's conversation, Nadine sits down with Rebecca Hitchcock, author of What I Didn't Learn in Church, to unpack the heavy but vital topic of shame. Rebecca vulnerably shares her personal story of experiencing sexual abuse at age five, the lingering shame it caused throughout her life, and how it resurfaced during her struggles with postpartum depression. Raised in a Christian home and once a high-level fashion director in Chicago, Rebecca eventually left her career to raise her family and pursue deeper spiritual healing. For more than two decades, she has led women's Bible studies across the Midwest, helping others find freedom in Christ. Her book, What I Didn't Learn in Church, shares many of these lessons and is available at rebeccahitchcock.org (rebeccahitchcock.org). Rebecca explains how her understanding of God's Word radically shifted her experience of shame. She invites listeners to stop hustling for worthiness and instead receive the “double portion” of acceptance and identity God offers in Scripture. Together, Nadine and Rebecca walk through key Bible passages that anchor the episode's message, including: Isaiah 61:7 — Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion. 2 Corinthians 5:17 — Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. 2 Corinthians 5:21 — He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God. Matthew 11:28 — Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. This episode reminds every woman that shame has no claim on her life when she stands in Christ's freedom. Rebecca encourages listeners to take even five minutes to sit with God, ask for His love, and begin exchanging shame for the truth of who they are in Him.

Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. We are taking a short break from Ecclesiastes to celebrate Easter with some unique devotionals to prepare our hearts for this week in history. Our text today is Isaiah 53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. — Isaiah 53:5 More Than Wood and Nails The cross is everywhere. We wear it on necklaces, see it in churches, and even use it as home décor. But in Jesus' time, the cross was nothing to be admired. It was a brutal instrument of execution—reserved for the worst criminals. When Jesus carried His cross to Golgotha, it wasn't just wood that weighed Him down. It was the weight of sin—yours and mine. Every betrayal, every lie, every lustful thought, every act of pride, selfishness, and hatred—all of it pressed upon His shoulders. We often speak of Jesus dying for us, but do we really grasp what that means? He was mocked so we could be accepted. He was beaten so we could be healed. He was forsaken so we would never be abandoned. He was pierced so we could be set free. This was not a symbolic act. It was real. It was gruesome. And it was necessary. The Cross Was Our Judgment Sin demands justice. A holy God cannot simply ignore it. If God were to shrug at sin, He would cease to be just. But instead of pouring out judgment on us, He placed it on His Son. This was the great exchange—the innocent for the guilty. Jesus took our punishment so we could receive His righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21). When He cried out, “It is finished” (John 19:30), He wasn't just talking about His suffering. He was declaring that the debt of sin had been paid in full. Nothing left to add. Nothing left to prove. Carrying Our Own Cross Jesus said, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me” (Luke 9:23). The cross wasn't just His burden—it's ours too. Not to pay for sin (only He could do that), but to die to ourselves. To die to our selfish desires. To die to our love for the world. To die to anything that competes with Jesus as our greatest love. Salvation is free, but following Jesus will cost you everything. The question is, are you willing to carry your cross? This Easter, don't just observe the cross—embrace it. Jesus didn't suffer and die so we could remain the same. He calls us to follow Him, to surrender, and to live in the freedom He purchased with His blood. So, will you lay down your sin, your pride, your plans—and take up your cross? Will you step into the life He died to give you? If today is the day you choose to follow Jesus, or if you're ready to renew your commitment, don't keep it to yourself. Let us know in the comments, or reach out—we'd love to walk this journey with you. #TakeUpYourCross #ItIsFinished #EasterHope ASK THIS: What does Isaiah 53:5 reveal about the weight of Jesus' sacrifice? How does Jesus' suffering change the way you view your own sin? What does it mean for you personally to "take up your cross daily"? How is God calling you to surrender more of your life to Him today? DO THIS: Embrace the cross—not just as a symbol, but as a call to surrender your life fully to Jesus. PRAY THIS: Jesus, thank You for bearing the punishment I deserved and for offering me freedom through Your sacrifice. Help me to daily take up my cross, surrendering my will to Yours. Amen. PLAY THIS: The Power of the Cross.

Scripture declares in 2 Cor. 5:21 "For God hath made Jesus to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." This is to say when Jesus lives in us and we take on His name of Christian, we are restored to Father God. Our desire is to be in 'right standing' with our God. Right standing is to follow after His Word until our meditation of Him guides us into paths that are right in His eyes. We are challenged to be acceptable to our God and Savior.

Did you know there's a plant called the “Crown of Thorns?” Aside from having beautiful blossoms, it also has sharp, nail-like thorns. Joni explains that this plant reminds her every Easter of the brutality of what Jesus suffered on our behalf. This remembrance leads to praise and thanksgiving to Jesus for all he's done!
While gathered together to share the Lord's Supper on Good Friday, prior to celebrating on Resurrection Sunday, Pastor Marc Sharp delivers a message that is focused on a relatively unknown person, Simon of Cyrene.

In today's message, Pastor Marc Sharp continues the series "Songs of Ascents" with part six. This series is looking at 15 Psalms (Psalm 120-134) designated as “Songs of Ascents”, which are God’s guidebook for right worship in the church. The central theme of the Psalm today is permanence. It reminds us of those things which will not change; our security as believers, God’s love and protection of us; the safety of our inheritance in Him. When all is shaken around us, and the ground feels like it is crumbling underneath our feet, Psalm 125 is a beacon of gospel hope; an anchor that keeps us from drifting into the rocky shoreline of fear, apathy and defeatism.

The series on the minor prophets is continued by Pastor Marc Sharp. Today's message is from the book of Zephaniah. As other prophets have done, Zephaniah confirms that judgement is coming, for among the people no one truly inquires of God at all. They have exchanged truth for cultural acceptance. They say in their hearts, “The Lord will not do good, nor will he do ill.” They stupidly believe that God is powerless to either judge or bless. Then suddenly Zephaniah switches to promises of a hopeful future for all peoples, and he uses some of the most hopeful and joyous language found in the Minor Prophets to do this. He tells everyone who will listen that the Day of the Lord is a day where the wicked perish and the righteous are rescued and redeemed. This not only has immediate implications for Judah and the rest of the world, it also has implications for us who live at the end of the ages!

Where God's grace meets your need.
Jesus was on a mission. Jesus was His own point man, He came in various forms all throughout the old testament. He could have called it all off after the first fist to the face, or the whipping, or the crown of thorns. But He endured it all for us. When Jesus gave Himself for us, He took our place on the cross and took our sin on Him. God hates sin. Sin is the polar opposite of everything He is. It is His adversary. Satan is the embodiment of sin, and Jesus is the embodiment of holiness. Even in the midst of our sin, Jesus loved us enough to die for us. God loves the sinner. He wants for those in sin to come to Him. Jesus was God breathed and He breathed God. He was misunderstood in His misery, and He is misunderstood in His ministry. He's misunderstood in His mission.

Welcome to the audio podcast for Dogwood Church in Athens, TX.
Listen to weekly sermons from Summit Ridge Community Church in Tucson, Arizona. We exist to make disciples who serve Christ by serving people.
It's been said that the gospel is shallow enough for a child to play in, yet vast enough for an elephant to swim in. Too many of us have a limited understanding of the vastness of the gospel. It is more than our means to salvation, it is the means to our daily life in Christ. We need to daily remind ourselves of the grace God has bestowed on us and learn to live in that truth!
In this episode of "In the Word, On the Go," Jeremy McMorris, lead pastor of Liberty Baptist Church in Dalhart, Texas, discusses the righteousness of God which we have because of Christ. Jeremy says, "When God looks at me, he doesn't see me sinful or even back to neutral. What belongs to the Son belongs to us." "In the Word, On the Go" is sponsored by the New Growth Press (https://newgrowthpress.com/?aff=26). Special Guest: Jeremy McMorris.

Pastor Nathaniel Wall explains the mystery of the Great Exchange, asserting that, yes, historically Easter is very significant, but it’s when we recognize how personal that event was, do our lives transform. Why is it that Jesus took our sins upon himself to allow us to put on his righteousness? In a word? Love.
