Matthew 27:41-54 ESV
41 So also the chief priests, with the scribes and
elders, mocked Him, saying,

42 “He saved others; He cannot save Himself. He
is the King of Israel; let Him come down now
from the cross, and we will believe in Him.43 He
trusts in God; let God deliver Him now, if He
desires Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

44 And the robbers who were crucified with Him
also reviled Him in the same way.

The Death of Jesus
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness
over all the land until the ninth hour.

http://www.filmlinc.com/assets/uploads/blog/Barabbas2.JPG
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with
a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema
sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why
haveYou forsaken Me?”

47 And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said,
“This Man is calling Elijah.” 48 And one of them
at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour
wine, and put it on a reed and gave it to Him to
drink. 49 But the others said, “Wait, let us see
whether Elijah will come to save Him.” 50 And
Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and
yielded up His spirit.

51 And behold, the curtain of theTemple was
torn in two, from top to bottom. And the Earth
shook, and the rocks were split. 52The tombs
also were opened. And many bodies of the
saints who had fallen asleep were raised, 53 and
coming out of the tombs after His resurrection
they went into the holy city and appeared to
many.

54When the centurion and those who were with
him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the
earthquake and what took place, they were
filled with awe and said, “Truly this was the Son
of God!”

Possibly onTuesday, just a few days before
Jesus was crucified, we see that Jesus left the
Temple – not to return again.

He cleansed theTemple twice – at the
beginning of His ministry in John 2 when He
drove out the moneychangers and then here at
the end of His ministry in Matthew 24 & Mark
11 with one very important difference.

Matthew 24:1-3 ESV
1 Jesus left theTemple and was going away,
when His disciples came to point out to Him
the buildings of theTemple. 2 But He answered
them, “You see all these, do you not?Truly, I say
to you, there will not be left here one stone
upon another that will not be thrown down.”

Signs of the End of the Age
3 As He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples
came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when
will these things be, and what will be the sign of
Your coming and of the end of the age?”
Matthew 24:1-3 ESV

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4eQReBBqHOg/U0LIg0WKdbI/AAAAAAAAEws/80pQSid_PlI/s1600/JesusClearsChangers520x545.jpg
In Mark 11 He not only drove out the
moneychangers for the second time, but this
time He would not allow anyone to carry
anything through theTemple.

Mark 11:15-16 ESV
15 And they came to Jerusalem. And He entered
theTemple and began to drive out those who
sold and those who bought in theTemple, and
He overturned the tables of the money-
changers and the seats of those who sold
pigeons. 16 And He would not allow anyone to
carry anything through theTemple.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g9IyApgyYts/UtlQUdspbZI/AAAAAAAACD0/TLEVSxAlTHk/s1600/ClearingTemple.jpg
Mark 11:16 KJV
16 And would not suffer that any man should
carry any vessel through theTemple.

The word vessel refers to utensils of worship.
Mark is telling us that Jesus not only shut down
the commerce of theTemple but He also shut
down the religious rituals of theTemple.

The priests carried the blood from the sacrifices
in basins into the holy place to sprinkle on the
altar of incense.
Then they had to take the burned carcasses of
the sacrifices out again.

So, there was a continual procession of priests
through theTemple area all day long, carrying
out the system of rituals.
But on this day, when Jesus came into the
Temple He stopped all of the religious rituals in
their tracks.

He brought to a close the offerings of Israel for
the first time since the Maccabees in 164 B.C.
Why?
Because Jesus refused to acknowledge the
Temple worship as having meaning or value any
longer.

Though the Jewish priests and money changers
went right back to their former activity as soon
as Jesus left, and though these practices would
continue for forty more years until the Romans
destroyed theTemple, God no longer accepted
those sacrifices.

A few days later, when Jesus went to the cross
as the Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of
the world, He declared all other sacrifices to be
null and void.
The OT rituals and sacrifices were mere
symbols and shadows pointing to the reality of
the true “Lamb of God” – and Jesus Himself was
that Reality!

Everything about our understanding of our
salvation has its roots in the Jewish sacrificial
lamb.

During the days ofTemple worship, a family
would offer a Passover lamb for sacrifice at the
Temple as covering for the sins of that family.
That ritual teaches us much about the love of
our Heavenly Father and what the sacrifice
really means.

Some weeks before Passover, the head of the
household would cull out the most perfect lamb
in his flock.
To be acceptable, the lamb could not be
purchased but had to be raised by the family.

The lamb would be brought into the household
as a pet.
The kids would play with it, wash and groom it,
grow attached to it, and even name it, making
it a part of the family.

https://tjustincomer.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/lamb.jpg
It was a necessary element of the sacrifice that
the family had to grow to love that particular
lamb.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QVtPk6brgO4/S3ifcSoemiI/AAAAAAAAAKA/tnHWq1gmuDU/s320/the-lamb-illustration-1.jpg
At theTemple, the head of the household
would certify with the priest that the lamb met
all the conditions before accepting it as a
sacrifice.

http://d4nations.com/webpubl/images/1aanima%20sacrifice.png
The lamb would have a placard (with the name
of the father of the family) put around its neck
identifying the sinners for whom it was about to
die.

Here's where this gets difficult.
The head of the household, (to whom the lamb
was a beloved pet) didn't get to just leave the
lamb there and go home, like a person dropping
off a sick pet at the vets to be euthanized.
Or even one who comforts the pet while the vet
does it.

It'sYOUR sin.
It'sYOUR sacrifice soYOU must do the deed.

The priest would carefully instruct you in the
most humane way to conduct the sacrifice, but
you had to do it.
You would be taught how to gently squeeze off
the lamb's jugular with thumb and forefinger
until the lamb would pass out.

https://christianmart.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/4fde5700eef8-scaled1000.jpg
The lamb falls asleep against the sinner's breast
like the beloved pet that it has become.

Once the lamb was unconscious, the penitent,
still holding the lamb's throat, would be
instructed on how to insert the knife, nick the
jugular and hold the lamb over the laver to
catch its blood for the sacrifice.

As the blood flowed, it would flow over the
penitent's hands and arms, staining him with
the sacrificial blood.
http://www.colindye.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/The-Blood-of-Jesus-and-his-Unlimited-Blessing.png

The lamb's innocent little heart would continue
to pump out the blood, which would continue
to stain the head of the household until it had
pumped its last and the little lamb was dead.
http://www.spirit-of-prophecy-1844.com/resources/Lamb%20on%20altar%20sacrifice.jpg?timestamp=1351543375906

The priest would hold up the now-dead lamb
before the Lord, read the name of the family as
it appeared on the placard around its neck, and
declare the lamb's 'sins' before the Lord.Then
the priest would shout, “It is finished!”

http://www.christianholydays.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/The-Day-of-Atonement-Christian-Holy-Days.jpg
The family's beloved pet lamb was dead, its
blood was sprinkled over the mercy seat of the
Ark, and the sins of the family were covered for
another year.

In Judea in AD 33, Latin was the language of
business however most people grew up
speaking Greek, the common language of the
empire, a holdover from the days of Alexander
the Great.

The Septuagint, the Greek version of theTorah,
was so translated because more Jews spoke
Greek than Hebrew.
Aramaic gradually replaced Greek and Hebrew
as the language of the Jews.

https://mydailypraiseblog.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/yelling-crucify-him.jpg
It wasn't the Jews who drove the nails, it was
the Romans, while the people cheered in
Aramaic and Greek.

So, there was Latin and Greek, and finally, the
language of the Jews at the time, which was
Aramaic.
It was the language of Jesus and John the
Baptist, who spoke aWestern Aramaic
language during his public ministry.

Above the head of Jesus, Pilate ordered the
following inscription in all three languages:
"Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews"

The father’s name around the lamb’s head at
Passover was prophetic of Pilate’s sign over
Jesus’ head.

http://ablaze.org.au/torchie/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/yahweh.png
Jesus bore the name of the Father above His head
on the cross.
God is our Father and Jesus shed His blood for us,
the family of God!

http://www.muncherian.com/g-beholdtheLamb01.jpg
It couldn't be just any Lamb, but it had to be God's
beloved Lamb.
"Thou art My beloved Son, inWhom I am well-
pleased." (Mark 1:11)

His was no humane kosher sacrifice, but a
bloody, vicious, violent, painful, tortured and
shameful execution at the hands of the very
family the Lamb loved so deeply andWho asks
only for our trust in return.

Isaiah 53:10a NASB
10 But the LORD was pleased
To crush Him,

Isaiah 53:10 ESV
10Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush Him;
God was pleased with the plan.

When Caiphas objected, asking the inscription
be changed to say, “This is Jesus, who claimed
to be King of the Jews,” Pilate rebuffed him,
saying, “What I have written, I have written.”

For that was the charge against Him for which
He was crucified - for the sins of the Jews as
their King.
For the sins of the Romans as their occupier and
for the sins of mankind as they stood by as
spectators.
And for you and for me.

http://unctionsofthespirit.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/kneeling-at-the-cross.jpg
Who is to blame here?
It was because of my sins that He had to go through
all of that.

http://images.knowing-jesus.com/w/900/23-ISAIAH/Isaiah%2053-10%20He%20Was%20Crushed-landscape.jpg
It was because of my sins that God had to come
up with the plan to crush Him.

Why is this day of crucifixion different than all
other days?
Because it is the day that we learn just how
much God loves us and how much He loves
those we come in contact with every day.

Jesus is their King too, and ours.
Jesus is God's Lamb for them too.

Are their garments spotless?
Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the Blood of the Lamb?
Are they?

At the first Passover, God set in motion the
sequence of events that would culminate
twelve centuries later with the sacrifice of the
Pascal Lamb for all mankind.

http://www.i-love-jesus-christ.us/memes/images/How-great-is-our-God.jpg
That is the GodWhom we serve and that was
the weight of our sin before Him.

Jesus had been hanging on a blood stained
cross, writhing in His death-agony.
It appeared like His first coming was a complete
failure – without power, without honor, and
without glory.

But at His Second Coming, the parousia, He will
appear in power and triumph and all glory will
belong to Him!
John declared in Revelation 1:7, “every eye will
see Him”.

2Thessalonians 1:7b-10 ESV
7b when the Lord Jesus is revealed from Heaven
with His mighty angels 8 in flaming fire,
inflicting vengeance on those who do not know
God and on those who do not obey the Gospel
of our Lord Jesus.

9They will suffer the punishment of eternal
destruction, away from the presence of the
Lord and from the glory of His might,

10 when He comes on that Day to be glorified in
His saints, and to be marveled at among all who
have believed, because our testimony to you
was believed.
2Thessalonians 1:7b-10 ESV

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dQjeUrQ2QiQ/maxresdefault.jpg
During the Olivet Discourse, Jesus said in
Matthew 24:30…

Matthew 24:30 ESV
30Then will appear in Heaven the sign of the
Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth
will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man
coming on the clouds of Heaven with power
and great glory.

We are reminded of the words in the Model
Prayer:
“Thy kingdom come,Thy will be done, on Earth
as it is in Heaven…
forThine is the kingdom and the power and the
glory, forever. Amen!”

Satan, of course, does not want Jesus to have
the power and the glory.
Three times, Satan tempted Jesus in the
wilderness in order to prevent Him from
attaining the power and the glory that is rightly
His.

http://stenila.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/temptation-of-christ.jpg
In the third temptation, Satan took Jesus to a
high mountain and showed Him all the
kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SCiFqAJfd5k/T4tzCBCBNOI/AAAAAAAAB58/BRklrdmZUS0/s1600/Jesus+tempted.jpg
There Satan said to Him, “All this I will giveYou
if You will bow down and worship me.”

In effect, Satan was saying, “The kingdom, the
power, and the glory are mine, notYours.”
And Satan was right – for the moment.
Jesus is recorded in Matthew 4:10 as answering
Satan with “You shall worship the Lord your
God, and serve Him only”.

With those words, Jesus set aside the
temptation to take a short-cut to power and
glory.
Satan had offered an easy path to glory, one
that did not involve the cross.

Jesus chose instead, the hard path, the narrow
way, the darkness, agony, and humiliation of
the cross.
In doing so, He made possible a future moment
– the very moment described here when He will
appear before the entire human race.

http://www.christiansermoncentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Jesus-second-coming.jpg
It is the moment when He will come in power
and great glory to take His place over the
kingdoms of the world!

Jesus compared Himself to a criminal when He
said:
42 “Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know
on what day your Lord is coming. 43 But know
this, that if the master of the house had known
in what part of the night the thief was coming,
he would have stayed awake and would not
have let his house be broken into.

44Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son
of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

Paul said the same thing:
1Thessalonians 5:2 ESV
2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the
Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the
night.

And John wrote:
Revelation 16:15 ESV
15 “Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is
the one who stays awake, keeping his garments
on, that he may not go about naked and be
seen exposed!”

Why does the Son of God compare Himself to a
criminal?
Because He is making a crucial point and He
doesn’t want the impact of that point to be lost.

http://clearingtheconfusion.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/slide-rapture-of-the-church.png
The point is, “Be ready all the time”.
We are not waiting for the undertaker, we are
waiting for the Uppertaker!

Waiting certainly does not mean to sit on the
sofa, twiddling your thumbs until He comes nor
to stand on the rooftop watching the skies for
His return - we have too much work to do.

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/71/53/2c/71532cd652450dbc9c00c600a511cac2.jpg
There are too many people that God still wants
to reach, too many wounded souls all around in
need of His healing touch.

Jesus told us:
John 4:35 ESV
35 “Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months,
then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up
your eyes, and see that the fields are white for
harvest.”

http://walkerbiblebaptistchurch.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/photo.png
A white field of wheat is not merely ripe – it is
overripe!

Jesus is telling us that the work of the harvest is
a crisis, it’s an emergency.
We don’t have time to gaze foolishly into the
skies when the work of the harvest is so urgent!

We should not be fooled by the deceitfulness of
the age in which we live.
We are surrounded by seductive lies and it is all
part of the great satanic brainwashing
campaign behind the philosophy of the world.

If we fall for it, we will not be ready when He
comes.
The only defense against the satanic deception
that surrounds us is a continuous, step-by-step
reliance on the truth of God as illuminated for
us by the indwelling Spirit of God.

TheWord tells us that our job is to serve God
and others through an unceasing ministry of
love and service in the name of Jesus Christ.
Jesus said, “Occupy till I come” (Luke 19:13).

Romans 5:5-11 AMP
5 Such hope [in God’s promises] never
disappoints us, because God’s love has been
abundantly poured out within our hearts
through the Holy SpiritWho was given to us.

6While we were still helpless [powerless to
provide for our salvation] at the right time
Christ died [as a substitute] for the ungodly.
7 Now it is an extraordinary thing for one to
willingly give his life even for an upright man,
though perhaps for a good man [one who is
noble and selfless and worthy] someone might
even dare to die.

8 But God clearly shows and proves His
own love for us, by the fact that while
we were still sinners, Christ died for
us.

https://regenerationandrepentance.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/godswrath.jpg
9Therefore, since we have now been justified
[declared free of the guilt of sin] by His blood,
[how much more certain is it that] we will be
saved from the wrath of God through Him.

10 For if while we were enemies we were
reconciled to God through the death of His Son,
it is much more certain, having been reconciled,
that we will be saved [from the consequences
of sin] by His life [that is, we will be saved
because Christ lives today].

11 Not only that, but we also rejoice in God,
[rejoicing in His love and perfection] through
our Lord Jesus Christ, throughWhom we have
now received and enjoy our reconciliation [with
God].

The Plan of Hope & Salvation
John 3:16 ESV
16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son,
that whoever believes in him should not perish but have
eternal life.”
John 14:6 ESV
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the
life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Romans 3:23 ESV
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 6:23a ESV
23a For the wages of sin is death,
• Death in this life (the first death) is 100%.
• Even Jesus, the only one who doesn’t deserve death,
died in this life to pay the penalty for our sins.
• The death referred to in Romans 6:23a is the second
death explained in Revelation 21:8.

Revelation 21:8 ESV
8 “But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as
for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters,
and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns
with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
Romans 6:23b ESV
23b but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our
Lord.

Romans 5:8 ESV
8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still
sinners, Christ died for us.
Revelation 21:7 ESV
7 "The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will
be his God and he will be my son.”
Romans 10:9-10 explains to us how to be conquerors.

Romans 10:9-10 ESV
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is
Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from
the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one
believes and is justified, and with the mouth one
confesses and is saved.
Romans 10:13 ESV
13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be
saved.”
