The death of the Lord Jesus Christ is a subject of never-failing interest to all who prayerfully study the Scriptures. The death of Christ was unique, miraculous, and supernatural. Here Pink takes up the seven sayings of Christ on the cross, words which inform us of the purpose, the meaning, the sufferings, and the sufficiency of the death divine.
The widespread circulation of his writings after his death made him one of the most influential evangelical authors in the second half of the twentieth century.
—Iain H. Murrary
A. W. Pink (1886-1952) a native of Nottingham, England, whose life as a pastor and writer was spent in a variety of locations in the British Isles, the United States, and Australia. As a young man he turned away from the Christian faith of his parents and became an adherent of the theosophical cult; but then he experienced an evangelical conversion and crossed the Atlantic in 1910, at the age of 24, to become a student at the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. After only six weeks, however, he left to take up a pastoral ministry. It was during the years that followed that he found his way to a strictly Calvinistic position in theology. He was soon wielding a quite prolific pen. As one whose life was devoted to the study and exposition of the Scriptures, he became the author of numerous books which the Banner of Truth Trust has been assiduously reprinting in recent times. No doubt his chief monument is the paper Studies in the Scriptures which he produced monthly and regularly for a period of thirty years from the beginning of 1922 until his death in 1952.
“Remember then the cross. Christ prayed for his enemies. Learn then not to look on any as beyond the reach of prayer.” (Page 16)
“First: the death of Christ was natural. By this we mean that it was a real death” (Page 5)
“That our Lord ‘laid down his life,’ that he was not powerless in the hands of his enemies comes” (Page 7)
“the death of Christ was natural, unnatural, preternatural, and supernatural” (Page 5)
“‘It is finished.’ He cried: it is ‘made an end of;’ it is ‘paid;’ it is ‘performed;’ it is ‘accomplished.’ What was made an end of? Our sins and their guilt. What was paid? The price of our redemption. What was performed? The utmost requirements of the law. What was accomplished? The work which the Father had given him to do. What was finished? The making of atonement.” (Page 138)
