While hanging from the cross, the Lord Jesus Christ spoke seven awesome statements that reveal the fullness of His heart, His mission, and His finished work of redemption. In Seven Awesome Statements from the Cross, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims the uncompromising Truth of Calvary: Christ forgives repentant sinners, assures His people of salvation, cares for His own, bears the judgment of sin, thirsts in full humanity, entrusts Himself to the Father, and declares the work of salvation complete. These words call every sinner to repentance and every believer to deeper trust, faithful obedience, fervent intercession, and bold Gospel proclamation to the ends of the earth.

In this fourth message of Seven Awesome Statements from the Cross, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims the heart of the Gospel: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” At Calvary, the sinless Son of God bore the judgment for every repentant sinner who trusts in Him. The Father turned His face from the Son because He cannot look upon sin with favor. This was not weakness, failure, or imagination; it was redemption. Scripture declares that Christ became sin for us so we might be forgiven, accepted, and brought into His light. Every sinner must repent, and every believer must intercede so the lost may hear this saving Truth.
