Passover Week              Thursday, April 05, 2007

Crucified

·        1 Cor 1:22-24: A stumbling block…foolishness…wisdom and power of God

·        2 Cor 2:2 – determined to know nothing but

·        Gal 6:14 – God forbid that I should boast, except in

See the Calendar

Fruit of this day…in Gethsemane :

·        Need to see truth in our life

·        Point – this is all to be real…ours

Go over the sufferings of Christ – :

·        Sweated great drops of blood

·        Beaten

o       At Ananias trial

o       Before Herod

o       By Pilates soldiers

·        Scourged

·        Mocked

The Cross

·        Imagine it

·        Won’t go over pain of Cross – Great books and articles on – Medical Aspects of Crucifixion

·        Excruciating…get name from

·        Somehow – we see it wrongly – see as beautiful, instead of horrible – death

·        6 hours on the cross

Yet – Jesus suffering was more

·        Others have suffered physically

·        His – unjustly

·        His for us

·        His for our sin

·        His – separating

Buried in a Garden tomb…of the rich, nearby:
