The Death of Christ

Christ was born to die. Without His blood there could be no forgiveness of sin. “In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.”.......Christ the perfect Son of God became the Lamb of God.

22In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. . Christ the perfect Son of God became the Lamb of God.

THE PROMISE OF HIS DEATH

I. THE PROMISE OF HIS DEATH

He would come through “the seed of the woman.” He would destroy the works of sin and Satan. “And I will cause hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.”

15And I will cause hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.”

THE PROPHECY OF HIS DEATH

He would suffer and die for our sins. He would suffer physically as well as mentally (NLT) 2 My servant grew up in the Lord’s presence like a tender green shoot, like a root in dry ground. There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him.

2 My servant grew up in the Lord’s presence like a tender green shoot, like a root in dry ground. There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him.

3 He was despised and rejected— a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care. 4 Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins!

16My enemies surround me like a pack of dogs; an evil gang closes in on me. They have pierced my hands and feet.

“My enemies surround me like a pack of dogs; an evil gang closes in on me. They have pierced my hands and feet.

4 Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! “My enemies surround me like a pack of dogs; an evil gang closes in on me. They have pierced my hands and feet.

THE PAIN OF HIS DEATH

No one could measure the pain He endured. No one could know what it meant for Him to be separated from: (1) His followers, (2) His family, (3) His friends, (4) His Father.

THE PLACE OF HIS DEATH

Calvary means the place of the skull. They tried to make Jesus look as guilty as possible. “When they came to a place called The Skull, they nailed him to the cross. And the criminals were also crucified—one on his right and one on his left.”
33When they came to a place called The Skull, they nailed him to the cross. And the criminals were also crucified—one on his right and one on his left.

THE PERSON IN HIS DEATH

If we accept Jesus as king we will not have to face Him as judge. (NLT) 11 And I saw a great white throne and the one sitting on it. The earth and sky fled from his presence, but they found no place to hide. 12 I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books.

13 The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. And all were judged according to their deeds. 14 Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death. 15 And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire.

VI. THE POWER IN HIS DEATH

THE POWER IN HIS DEATH

The most important words in His death were, “It is finished.” He did not mean His life was finished. He meant that the plan of salvation was now completed. “When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.”

30When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

THE PARDON IN HIS DEATH…A FEW THINGS WE HAVE GAINED FROM THE CROSS...

His death provides forgiveness from all sin.

“But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.”

9But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. He forgave a thief on the cross (, ).

He forgave a thief on the cross. ...”42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.” 43 And Jesus replied, “I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

42Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”
43And Jesus replied, “I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

The death of Christ is in vain unless we accept His pardon. , John tells us:

16“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.”

We must believe with both our minds and our hearts. This is the scripture I read when someone is receiving Jesus as their Savior. “9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”.......

17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. We must believe with both our minds and our hearts (, ). Man is born a sinner (). He should pay for his sin by being punished (). But Christ suffered for us and forgives all sin ().
9If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.”

10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. Man is born a sinner (). He should pay for his sin by being punished (). But Christ suffered for us and forgives all sin ().

“He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.”

AMEN

3 “He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.”
