“On what basis are you here?” “The man on the middle cross said, ‘I can come.” Every time I hear this, it tears me in two. I love hearing this! Praise to you Lord Jesus!

I am here because of the Man on the Middle Cross and will follow and believe in Him, forever!

Hallelujah to the Lamb of God!! Praise Jesus the lover of my soul!!

Everytime I hear those words, "The Man on the middle cross said I could come!" the tears roll down my face!

Jesus, Your grace is beyond what I can comprehend!

At 39.5 yrs old, THIS is the most simply said & eye opening "AHA!!" moment that i believe ive ever gotten from any sermon!! Every since i was a very very small child, when thinking about death, heaven, & faith, I've ALWAYS thought and worried about what I've done wrong, how bad/ different i was, how much hurt was in my life, how disappointed/ disgusted God might be of me, & how much i needed to change if i was gonna be good enough to get into heaven. A lot of that came from My alcoholic, drug addicted, & abusive dad (an ordained minister) use to say things like "God can't STAND a liar. It disgusts him" & "God despises a busy body". It wasnt until i was an adult when.... I was in a crisis, petrified, and needing protection and guidance from something i had done/ caused... And i was crying & telling someone that i was really scared God was going to "get me", and someone said to me, "i think someone mustve spoke more of a brimstone and fire God that they MISTOOK our God for, rather than explaining to you that our God is an unconditionally loving God. He purposefully made you & he would NEVER BE ashamed of or disgusted at you, Ever. He isnt there to punish you when you do something wrong. He's there to pick you back up, dust you off, & forgive you. He wants you to run TO him, not FROM HIM. He wants to keep you safe and protect you like only a father could. He is there for YOU, he WANTS TO listen to you, comfort you, and repair what you have destroyed. He's waiting WITH WIDE OPEN ARMS to forgive you, heal you, and make you whole again". And now that ive gotten to hear this sermon, it's all becoming full circle. Much more than what I've ever done wrong, what REALLY matters MOST is what "HE" has "ALREADY DONE". AMEN 🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼

Love Alistair Begg, I’ve listened to this sermon at least 10 times aready 🙏🙇🏻

Hey, Brothers and Sisters thanks a lot for your continued support! Please make sure to watch the entire video in order to leave a knowledgeable comment. I highly recommend you watch the full sermon, I added the link to the description. Soli Deo Gloria!

The Man in the Middle Cross said I can Come.. Thank you Lord

Praise God Amen!!! Thank you Jesus!!!

I just discovered this. I immediately need to hear this again.❤❤

Awesome delivery about the cross. That's been forgotten in our new churches. Blessings and the Holy Spirit with his delivery was humbling!

I’ve listened to the full sermon more than once already . 🔥🔥

Absolutely crushes me with humility 😭😭😭. But also fuels a love and appreciation that cannot be expressed with words. Which leads me to live a life of Faith and Repentance which in turn produces a good work. 🙏😇

In Christ alone our Hope is found

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. God Bless anyone who needs and comes to the Cross. Take that step, accept the free gift of the Cross and become richer than you could ever imagine. Praise Jesus, He IS worthy!! God Bless you all 😊🙏❤

The man on the middle cross said i could come part, gave me chills💙

Preaching of the cross everyday. The cross that crucified Christ is the same cross where we must crucify our flesh. Deny ourselves and Take up our cross to follow Christ we must die so He can live through me. Wonderful sermon to remind us of this critical truth.

It was very clear illustration of Faith. It was just clear! I also love the way you emphasize the "I can come" of the thief by removing background music. It made the word so epic. So much, I love it...

This is absolute gold 🙏🏼 Praise the Lord!

Jesus! God Saves! Salvation!

Awesome video!

That was amazing! Christ alone! Let’s always preach the gospel to ourselves everyday. Thanks for sharing.

🤣😂🤣um I was coming to comment on what obviously everyone else did already!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭…because the Man on the middle cross! 😩😖😩 🔥💣🔥💣🔥🎊💯🎊💯🎊💯 Guys…love these videos! 😭👏🏼💯Thank you!!!!! More, more, more!!!

Best message I have ever heard

King Jesus

I have listened to many sermons by Alistair Begg, I think this is about the best that I have ever heard from him, The man on the middle cross, what a beautiful sermon, so powerful, and so touching to the very soul. Lord richly bless you

Lord Jesus Christ your Love , compassion , Mercy is forever and ever. Every time I think I am not worthy of your 🙏 Love but You didn't leave my hand 🙏 thank you Lord 🙏✝️😔

THANK YOU SO MUCH IS SO BEAUTIFUL TELLING TRUTH 💖

Ive listened to the sermon twice now. I just keep going back to hear it again. So beautifully presented, so great a message ive not until now heard this way. Then i discover this film adaptation of the sermon. Even so much better with the visual. But the message is so, so perfect. I will need to review it again and again until it is firm in my brain so i too can share this message, Of the Cross. Amen

Amen!! Praise God always and forever...To God be the glory....

This is beautiful. Thank you. Thank you Jesus.

Amen Amen

I just want to say how much I appreciate you all for putting these together. By the grace of God and the power of His word he’s blessed these men with these messages and, in turn, you to put them together as you do. All the way to reaching and teaching a young believer like myself. These videos have kept me closer to God in times of temptation then you could possibly imagine. Thank you very very much good sirs!

Amen ❤ when I heard “He said, “I can come.” I break down because I can see my brokenness, my rebellion, and my internal struggle with sin. Yet, He said, “I could still come.” 😢😭

Have been blessed.

God Over Everything!

So true, so good!! Thank you Alistair!! 💥👌👍👊👊👊

🙏

Love it so much ❤️🙏🏼 glory to God

Wow!!! ✝️🧎🏾‍♂️

Beautiful ❤️

This was the sermon i was referring to > [ grace life 2018 Micheal smith S20 this sermon he explains on chalkboard that belief is the requirement not law and why there was contention between paul and Peter and.the rest of the disciples who couldn't let go of law keeping its beautiful how he spells it all out in this sermon

Wonderful sermon. Thanks for posting.

Powerful

Thank you for sharing this powerful message. I am just sorry that you put music on. It's quite distracting for someone likes me who battles to hear clearly.

❤❤❤🕯

Music is very distracting

💚

"The man on the Middle Cross said I can come"- the thief said. "Oh, you mean Jesus"- the angel asked "Yes, maybe, I'm not sure abour his name" -he responded "It's our Lord Jesus, come in"- the angel said

Though Chris generation is long passed, the stories and images are fun to hear and revisit. We're now at (Valid) A. O. Despite our names, that's our day and age. As a sub minor A (meaning there are wealthier, more enriched and enabled youth than I am at age 49), the parents of owe into the less enriched to give along and down in the estate sizes. I can't be an A in an SSI cage. The SSA needs an audit. So do IRS agents and tax companies large and small. If they're small begging for warm clothes for the winter (yes, my family begs warm winter clothes and heat and food to stay put), then we have nothing but this to give. A credit union mustn't take or ask of someone on an SSI budget. If so, give us the materials you collected so we can pay our debtors. You're in and on our shares as Americans born and raised. We need our trucks, cabs, cars, gas cards, bottled waters, lower electricity, return Bill. We need more than a mans name to cover us. Thanks

Awesome message, but why did the man on the middle cross say he could come? Because he said LORD remember me, same with Paul in Acts 9 verse 6, LORD what do you want me to do, one has to get the revelation that he is LORD

Is there a place to listen without the music.

I talked to a Jewish woman that a Jewish man on the middle cross can make her and me children of God, his name is Jesus.

Blessings Brothers and Sisters, have you considered making some videos for your Spanish speaking brothers?

If you were standing before God and were asked, “why should I allow you to enter the gates of Heaven?” Your only answer would be, “ Because of Jesus and Jesus Alone. ✝️

It won't be because of my good works. Even the best of them are ashes in my hands, can only ever be ashes in my hands. It is only because of what Jesus - the Word incarnate - did, taking my sin upon himself and dying on the cross under its weight in place of me, to bring me by adoption into relationship with God as my father that I have not just hope, but certainty that God will count me among his sheep on the last day. Not because I am worthy, but because he alone is worthy, and his resurrection proves the payment is sufficient. Forgive me Father, for I am a sinner.

What’s the music/piano being used in the background? I’d love to have the link to the video to listen while I read or pray!! Thanks

whts the title of the music

Hard to concentrate with continuous piano in the background. 😵

Why did you delete John's sermon?

Are you living like the world?

Cling to the one who hung on that middle cross cling with all the might he gives you. Tho the devil yanks and tries to pull you away from. Grab that much more as he tightens his grip on you.

What happened to the John MacArthur videos????

Weeping

I've played this thousands of times. Watch how anal Christians hide thier guilty,shame,beings....WE ARE ALL GUILTYand deserve that place upon that cross. TRUTH is life,justice,Respect. Abandoned at birth, Homeless over half my life,I agree with the Bible...it fed me when I was hungry,gave me comfort,has never let me down. I want to meet Luke and Matthew most of all. If the Bible was a lie...why would certain souls seek all thier lives to prove it wrong. I would rather die believing it truth....that to die believing it wrong. My life has not been very Good...but My Father loves me and heaven or hell will be ok for me. Just the death freedom from your world...is welcome. Matthew says I deserve death...I believe that...I confess that....ONLY by Gods Grace will I become firgiven ...if not...I know I deserve hells fire...I am 1/2 Shawnee ,1/4 Irish,1/4 German,Vietn Veteran....I live as a Free spirit...by the Blood of Christ Jesus,by His laws,Truths,...its all I can do...I Am A sinner. Pauls said He was the Chief of Sinners....I tell him....IAm !!

This sermon must have converted hundreds of people.

40 titus timiorty cor

I've got a really good friend, and I'd love to introduce you to him if you'd be interested. He is JESUS

I was a sinful man ready to be put to death then Someone died for Me

A little advice...don't put a clip of people drinking and smoking in a video that is trying to reach lost souls by portraying the true and proper message of the cross...sends people a mixed message...like the old man made religious slogan of "Christians shouldn't smoke or drink"...as a Christian myself ive talked to many people about Christ and through those conversations honestly their sick and tired of hearing how they shouldn't drink or smoke either...it shouts hypocrisy from us to them...because I'm sure they know many Christians who are far worse off than they are and I'll be the first to admit I am...so let's get it straight...for the religious man lost in his supposed goodness and for the sinner lost in his sin...they both need the cross...we all need the cross...saved or unsaved...lost or found...Luke 18...the cross answers both dilemmas.

Great content from Begg, but quite frankly the emotive background music, along with the very poor/cheesy acting, was distracting, unnecessary and to a degree diminished the impact of his delivery.

Excellent message overall except the stupid and demonic story about the thief on the cross. Allistair like so many preachers havee made the mistake of cracking jokes in the midst of being connected to the Spirit. When the believer makes this mistake they will immediately disconnect from the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and then drift off into the flesh talking nonsense. Sigh... When will preachers notice this trap satan has set for them?

Karl, when are you going to give your wife? And your in-laws back their trailer. They don't want the car back, it's too worn out.

Begg and Apologia both teach false gospels. The gospel means “good news”. The gospel is the proclamation of who Jesus is and what He did for His elect only. The entire Bible (Old testament and New Testament) foreshadows and proclaims who Jesus is and what He did for His elect only (John 5:39, Luke 24:44). Jesus is the Son of God (John 3:16), fully God and fully man (John 1:1 & 1:14) and second person in the Trinity (Matthew 3:16-17). The gospel is God’s testimony concerning Jesus as revealed in the Holy Scriptures by the Holy Spirit which proclaims how Jesus the Christ (John 1:41, Matthew 16:16) was born of a virgin (Matthew 1:23) and born under the law to redeem His elect who were under the law and save His elect from their sins (Matthew 1:21, Galatians 4:4). God’s elect /sheep are the people past, present and future from every tribe, tongue and nation God actively chose to redeem/ justify/save based on Christ. God chose in Christ before the foundation of the world was laid according to the good pleasure of His will for His glory (Revelations 5:9, Ephesians 1:4-5). God actively created and chose a people from every tribe, tongue and nation before they were born for salvation whom God has always loved because of Christ and only Christ (Romans 8). God’s elect are vessels of mercy prepared beforehand for glory to make known the riches of His glory (Romans 9). God’s elect/sheep are God’s chosen vessels of mercy that are Jews and Gentiles because of Christ. (John 10, Romans 9:23-26, Hosea 2:23) God is Holy (Isaiah 6:3). God’s law is holy and good (Romans 7:12). The law of God demands perfection in word, thought, and deed at all times (James 2:10). The law was given through Moses (John 1:17). The law condemned all mankind and brought knowledge of sin (Romans 3:19-20). All people are under sin and none are righteous (Romans 3:9-18). Sin entered the world through Adam and death through sin and death spread to all mankind because all sinned. (Romans 5:12-13). Jesus Christ is the Passover lamb without blemish (1 Peter 1:19) for His elect by God’s sovereign grace (1 Corinthians 5:7). Just as the Israelites were released from Egypt after the death of the firstborn (Exodus 11-13) - Jesus Christ the firstborn of all creation (Colossians 1:15) justified all His elect at the cross from the wrath of God(Romans 5:9-11). Jesus willingly went to the cross (Philippians 2:8) and offered one sacrifice for all time for His elect He sanctified (Hebrews 10:11-14) as their representative and High priest. Jesus was crucified for the elect’s sin and raised for their justification (Romans 4:25). It pleased God the Father to crush His only begotten Son( Isaiah 53:10) and God the Father accepted Jesus’ perfect sacrifice on behalf of His sheep( Acts 2:23) . Jesus paid His elect’s sin debt and there is now no condemnation for those who are married to Christ (Romans 7-8). By Christ’s knowledge He justified all His elect (Isaiah 53:11) and finished His mission (John 19:30). All of God’s sheep will believe God’s testimony concerning Christ because Jesus justified them by His perfect sacrifice on the cross. Not one sheep Jesus died for will perish. Jesus is the good shepherd. Faith(believing God’s testimony concerning Jesus) is the fruit of what Jesus accomplished for His sheep. God’s sheep are righteous before God by the imputed righteousness of Christ provided at the cross as prophesied in Psalm 32 and fulfilled in John 19. All Jesus died for are regenerated at God’s appointed time to believe God’s testimony concerning Christ on who Christ is and what He did at the cross( Acts 13:48).
