1. Series on the Cross and
Resurrection
ON CALL
Matthew 26:47-56

2. 47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the
twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with
swords and staves, from the chief priests and
elders of the people.
48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign,
saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he:
hold him fast.
49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said,
Hail, master; and kissed him.
50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore
art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands
on Jesus, and took him.
51 And, behold, one of them which were with
Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his

3. 52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy
sword into his place: for all they that take the
sword shall perish with the sword.
53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my
Father, and he shall presently give me more than
TWELVE LEGIONS OF ANGELS? = 72,000
WARRIORS/SOLDIERS
54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled,
that thus it must be?
55 In that same hour said Jesus to the
multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief
with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily
with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no
hold on me.

CRUCIFIXION
15 My strength is dried up like a
PSALM 22:15-18
potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my
jaws; and thou hast brought me into the
dust of death.
16 For dogs have compassed me: the
assembly of the wicked have inclosed
me: they PIERCED MY HANDS AND MY
FEET.
17 I may tell all my bones: they look and
stare upon me.

7. ISAIAH DESCRIBED CHRIST‟S
SUFFERINGS AND DEATH – ISAIAH
53:3-6
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of
sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as
it were our faces from him; he was despised, and
we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried
our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken,
smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he
was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of
our peace was upon him; and with his STRIPES
we are healed.

Jesus cried with a
JESUS loud voice, saying, Eli,
