The Day of the Lord and the Cross: Why Jesus Died in Darkness | Amos 8

Why did darkness fall over the land when Jesus died on the cross? In this sermon on Amos 8, we explore the profound connection between the Day of the Lord and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Amos warned that God's coming day of judgment would bring darkness, mourning, and death—and, at the cross, darkness came at noon as Jesus bore the sins of His people. This message examines Amos 8 in its original context and follows the biblical theme of the Day of the Lord through Scripture, from God's judgment on Israel by the Assyrians in 722 B.C. to the final return of Christ. Discover why delayed consequences do not mean God has forgotten sin, why repentance matters, and how Jesus endured judgment in the place of those who trust in Him. For believers, the coming Day of the Lord is not a day of condemnation but the day when Christ returns to bring salvation, reward His people, and usher them into everlasting life.Here’s the video @ https://youtu.be/C243MVxlVM8See other resources and teaching @ https://www.christchurchclayton.org/media
