Trinity for Norman

This is the 4th of 8 sermons unpacking the importance of Christ crucified. Paul resolved to know nothing amongst the church, but Christ and him crucified. The question is Why? This week we see learn that Christ’s crucifixion is the pinnacle of God’s merciful act of justification—whereby God saves sinners declaring them to righteous for the sake of Christ’s satisfaction for theirs in and his righteousness imputed to them and received by faith alone. God’s people can approach him at peace and with confidence.

This is the third of eight sermons unpacking the importance of Christ crucified. This week we learn that Christ’s crucifixion demonstrates God’s love for sinners in that it brings propitiation—the turning away of God’s wrath upon sinners so that God can look on sinners with pleasure and God’s people can approach him at peace and with confidence.

We will spend eight weeks unpacking Christ crucified. This week we learn that Christ’s crucifixion brings reconciliation for his people—meaning the restoration of peace to a previously alienated, broken relationship & All sinners are commanded to be reconciled to God.

Luke 23:26-49

How does the Impeccable Jesus, the eternal Son of God, lose out to Barabbas? And what is the significance of this event?
Luke 23:1-25

 

Jesus’ rejection as the Messiah (prophet, priest, and king) leads to the salvation for every sinner
who is ashamed of his or her sin who will deny him or herself, follow Jesus, repent of sin, and believe in Him.

Luke 22:54-71

 

This is the Gospel! May God add his blessing to the reading and preaching of it and write its eternal truths upon our hearts. Amen. 
The Crucifixion
26 And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus. 27 And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for him. 28 But turning to them Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ 30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ 31 For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
32 Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him. 33 And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. 34 And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments. 35 And the people stood by, watching, but the rulers scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his Chosen One!” 36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine 37 and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!” 38 There was also an inscription over him, “This is the King of the Jews.”
