The accounts of those who stood at the foot of the cross challenge us to consider the significance of Jesus’ death—not just as a historical event, but as something deeply personal. Was it simply an execution, or was it the fulfillment of God’s plan for salvation? The eyewitnesses were confronted with the reality of who Jesus claimed to be. What does their testimony mean for you today?
Bible studies are held online throughout the year and all are welcome to attend so please contact us for the details.
The trial and crucifixion of Jesus Christ were seen by many different people—Roman soldiers, Jewish leaders, His followers, and ordinary bystanders. Some, like the religious leaders, wanted Him dead, while others, like Pilate, struggled with the decision. Some mocked Him, but others, like the centurion at the cross, realised, Surely, this man was the Son of God.
Three men facing death
Luke 23:26-43
Jesus is crucified between two criminals, one of whom mocks Him, while the other acknowledges His innocence and asks for remembrance in His kingdom. Jesus promises the repentant criminal a place in paradise, demonstrating His mercy and forgiveness even in His final moments. How does Jesus' interaction with the criminals reflect His teachings on forgiveness and redemption?
For as long as we can breathe, there is a hope that we might hear the gospel, believe the gospel and be saved.
At the cross
Luke 23:26-49
Jesus' words from the cross, including His plea for forgiveness for those crucifying Him, highlight His compassion and divine mission. How do the reactions of those present at the cross illustrate the varied responses to Jesus' ministry and message?
I walk as it were hand in hand with my Savior, not a religion. And these ladies, they did that. Despite the Jewish religion's leaders, they still clung to Christ.
Seeing the cross
Luke 23:44-49
As Jesus dies on the cross, darkness covers the land, and the temple curtain is torn in two, signifying profound spiritual changes. Those witnessing these events, including a centurion, are moved to praise God and acknowledge Jesus' righteousness. What does this history mean?
The Son of God took our sins in His own body on the tree, so we could be set free.
