In Matthew 27, we witness the profound events surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. From the sixth to the ninth hour, darkness enveloped the land as Jesus cried out, expressing His feeling of abandonment. Following His death, significant occurrences unfolded, including the tearing of the temple veil and the resurrection of many saints. The narrative transitions to the resurrection, where an angel announces to Mary that Jesus has risen. Stephen emphasizes the importance of knowing Christ both historically and through revelation, highlighting His eternal nature as the Son of God and Creator. He explains that understanding Jesus requires recognizing His incarnation and the significance of His life, death, and resurrection. The cross is central to this understanding, representing not only the forgiveness of sins but also the establishment of a new family in Christ. Stephen elaborates on the seven words spoken by Jesus on the cross, each revealing profound truths about forgiveness, rest, and the fulfillment of God's will. Ultimately, the cross signifies victory over sin and death, inviting believers to embrace the life of Christ within them.
