Sermon Tone Analysis

Some comment on the inspiration of a special Person and of all others like Him who stand unflinchingly for what they believe in, disregarding the consequences.

He commented on the inspiration of that special Person and of all others like Him who stand unflinchingly for what they believe in, disregarding the consequences.

Often times we totally we utterly miss the true significance of Jesus’ death.

Like most people in Western society, we know many of the bare facts of the crucifixion but we fail to grasp of its meaning apart from the obvious travesty of human justice.

And because of this “missing” Jesus’ resurrection is considered to be more myth and legend than history.

No divine purpose, activity, or accomplishment were so much as hinted at.

By the time of Christ the Romans had crucified some 30,000 men in Palestine alone.

It seems probable that some of whose men were also innocent of the charges against them.

The majority of them were executed for insurrection and doubtlessly were sincere patriots who hoped to free their people from oppression.

They died nobly for a cause they believed in.

Why, then, we may ask, does history remember the name of only one of those men?

The answer is clear almost from the opening words of Scripture.

The sin of Adam and Eve not only caused their own fall and that of all their descendants but also brought corruption of the entire earth.

It was for that reason Paul declared that the physical world groans like a woman in childbirth, longing to be restored to its God-designed perfection ().

Immediately after the Fall, God gave the first veiled promise of deliverance from the sin that had cursed mankind and the rest of the world.

He told Satan, “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel” ().

MacArthur, J. F., Jr. (1985).

Matthew (Vol.

4, p. 266).

Because men, not women, carry the seed of procreation, the seed of Eve was a prediction of the virgin birth of Christ, who would have no human father and who would be bruised temporarily “on the heel” by Satan but would bruise Satan permanently “on the head.”

God gave us a veiled promise through Abraham and Issic

God gave us a picture through Immediately after the Fall, God gave the first veiled promise of deliverance from the sin that had cursed mankind and the rest of the world.

He told Satan, “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel” ().

Because men, not women, carry the seed of procreation, the seed of Eve was a prediction of the virgin birth of Christ, who would have no human father and who would be bruised temporarily “on the heel” by Satan but would bruise Satan permanently “on the head.”

When God provided the ram as a substitute for Isaac, whom He had ordered his father, Abraham, to sacrifice (), He provided a beautiful picture of the sacrificial offering of His own Son, Jesus Christ—except that for Him no substitute was or could be provided.

And through the animal sacrifices prescribed in the law of Moses, God portrayed to His people the necessity of shedding blood for the remission of sin.

But the blood of those animals had no power to remove the slightest sin, and the sacrifices had to be repeated continuously throughout the history of Israel.

Yet imperfect as they were, they nevertheless pictured the true, sufficient, and once-for-all sacrifice for sins that Christ’s blood shed on the cross would provide.

Only one of the 30,000 crucified died for the sins of the world!

Matt 27

From 9:00 am - 12:00 Noon

The Silence of the Suffering of Jesus was broken only Three times

The Mocking, The Jeering The Beating , The Whipping ,The Nailing

Caused Him to say Father Forgive them For They Know Not what They Do!!

The Repentant thief who asked the Lord to remember Him when He came into His Kingdom

Caused the Master to say Truly today you will be with me in Paradise

Their on the Cross the soldiers began to gamble over Hid seamless Tunic

Which I believe caused Him to lock eyes with His Mother and the Disciple that He Loved

For Him to make provision for His Mother not only by providing for Her but as she loses a Son She Gains a Savior.

Then at 12 Noon The Bible says...

Divine Darkness

Divine Darkness

They lifted Jesus up on the cross at 9:00 am

From Sixth hour: (Midday Noon) to the 9th Hour (3:00 pm )

No matter who you are , No matter How Much Good you do , No Matter How much you Please the Father you my friend will have some Dark days

Dark Days in your between you and Your Spouse

Dark Days between you and and the people that you love the most

Dark Days where you got more month than you got money

Dark Days where things just didn't work out the way that you intended them work out.

Its one thing to be in a Night season but its a horse of a different color for you to be in Gross darkness

There was darkness, this is a turn of events God was doing something new here.

A super natural darkness hung over the land :can also be translated earth, indicating the entire world.

MacArthur, J. F., Jr. (1985).

Matthew (Vol.

4, p. 268).

Chicago: Moody Press.

This was not a eclipse

God turned the lights off

I’ve Learned that sometimes God will cut the Light off in your life

He will turn the lights off because you have un-repented Sin in your Life

He will cut the Lights off because you sleeping in beds that you have no business sleeping in

He will turn the lights off because you are taking things that don't belong to you

Stealing will get your lights turned off

Lying will get your lights turned off

Adultery will get your lights turned off

Sex before marriage will get your lights turned off

But the Lights get turned off on Jesus and He did nothing wrong

What do you do when the lights get turned off on the Light of the world

When He was born their was light at midnight :When Jesus was born, the night sky around Bethlehem was filled with supernatural light

MacArthur, J. F., Jr. (1985).

Matthew (Vol.

4, p. 267).

Chicago: Moody Press.

And when He died it was Darkness at Noon :

The first miraculous sign that accompanied Jesus’ death was not glorious light but dread darkness.

From the sixth hour (noon), when the sun is at its zenith, supernatural darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour (3:00 p.m.).

Jesus’ crucifixion had begun at the third hour, or 9:00 A.M. (), and when the darkness began He had been on the cross for three hours.

Being in the Dark: Jesus was entering into the very heart of His Atoning work

MacArthur, J. F., Jr. (1985).

Matthew (Vol.

4, p. 267).

Chicago: Moody Press.

There is No mention of the mocking and the jeering from the crowd, but this gross darkness has them silences with fear and reverence

This darkness silence the ignorance of all of His Nay Sayers

Divine Judgement

This is the darkest day of human history

The Darkness symbolizes the darkness of Sin

The Darkness symbolizes the darkness of the human soul and its works

The Darkness symbolizes the withdrawal of the light of God’s presence from the sinner

The Darkness symbolizes God anger and Gods’s judgment being poured out on Christ for the sins of the world.

The cross was a place of immense divine judgment, where the sins of the world were poured out vicariously on the sinless, perfect Son.
