Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0020B recorded on February 4, 1979 teaching from Psalm 69:6-21 – Prophecy of Calvary.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens explores Psalm 69 as a perfect prophecy that details the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. He frames the text as a window into the immense pressure of Calvary, emphasizing how the messianic foreshadowing captures Christ’s social isolation, physical humiliation, and the crashing shame of bearing human sin. Stevens highlights the indignity of the cross, noting that Jesus was stripped of His clothing and reputation to become a subject of ridicule and a “song of drunkards.” Ultimately, Stevens serves a call for listeners to recognize their own role in this redemptive history and to ask God to draw near and reclaim their souls through the sacrifice at Golgotha.
