Introduction
The importance of a the second truth example
Jesus dies on the cross and pays the penalty that you and I should have received. He takes the nails in hands and his feet. A crown of thorns was placed on his head and he was publically crucified. A spear was driven into his side.
On my trip to Florida, I was asked what is the only man made thing that will be in Heaven?
Answer: Nail Scared hands
Jesus dies. Joseph and Nicodemus ask for the body of Jesus and they go a place him in the tomb.
62 The next day, which followed the preparation day, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate
63 and said, “Sir, we remember that while this deceiver was still alive He said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’
We remember that while this deceiver was still alive He said, After three days I will rise again.
The enemy knows what Jesus as said. The enemy knows that Jesus professed to conquer the grave. The enemy knows that Jesus planned to defeat death. The Old Testament scriptures also spoke to this.
64 Therefore give orders that the tomb be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, His disciples may come, steal Him, and tell the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead.’ Then the last deception will be worse than the first.”
According to the enemies, What was the first deception?
(Image of the cross)
The first deception is that Jesus professed to be the Messiah. That is professed to be the one that fulfilled Old Testament scripture to come as the Savior of the World.
We see Jesus...
Healing the blind
Healing the sick
Forgiving Sin
Bringing Lazarus back from the death
and Professing to be the Christ
Jesus in a Conversation with Simon Peter asked him
15 “But you,” He asked them, “who do you say that I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God!”
17 And Jesus responded, “Simon son of Jonah, you are blessed because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father in heaven.
The enemy here in Matthew 27 speaks of the first deception which is Christ professing that he was and is the Messiah. He is the Messiah or Savior of the World
The Last deception will be worst than the first.
What is the Last Deception?
(Image of the Empty Tomb)
64 Therefore give orders that the tomb be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, His disciples may come, steal Him, and tell the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead.’ Then the last deception will be worse than the first.”
65 “You have a guard of soldiers,” Pilate told them. “Go and make it as secure as you know how.”
66 Then they went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone and setting the guard.
The Last deception that will be worse than the first is that Jesus would be raised from the dead.
In order to try and prevent this, Pilate tells them you have a guard of soldiers and to go make it secure as they know how to do.
This act of placing the soldiers at the tomb places the enemy right into the hands of God
(wrestling we often set up a shot, I would circle right and as soon as they took a left step then I would shoot) I used their next move for my advantage.
The enemy places a guard of Soldiers at the tomb so that the disciples will not come and steal the body to say that he was raised.
This act (thanks to the enemy) continues to validate the resurrection of Jesus!
Look at Luke 24.
It is essential that you believe that Jesus was not just the Messiah who came on earth and did a lot of great things. To trust in Jesus, requires that you believe in the resurrection. It is essential that you believe the tomb is empty because Jesus conquered death and sin by raising again to life.
In Luke 24 on the first day of the week, very early in the morning some women came bringing spices to prepare to body. They find the stone rolled away from the tomb and they go in to find the body of Jesus missing. Angels appear to them and the them that Jesus is not hear HE HAS BEEN RESURRECTED!
6 “He is not here, but He has been resurrected! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee,
7 saying, ‘The Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, be crucified, and rise on the third day’?”
8 And they remembered His words.
Later in the day this encounter with Jesus happens
13 Now that same day two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14 Together they were discussing everything that had taken place.
15 And while they were discussing and arguing, Jesus Himself came near and began to walk along with them.
16 But they were prevented from recognizing Him.
17 Then He asked them, “What is this dispute that you’re having with each other as you are walking?” And they stopped walking and looked discouraged.
18 The one named Cleopas answered Him, “Are You the only visitor in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that happened there in these days?”
19 “What things?” He asked them. So they said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a Prophet powerful in action and speech before God and all the people,
20 and how our chief priests and leaders handed Him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified Him.
21 But we were hoping that He was the One who was about to redeem Israel. Besides all this, it’s the third day since these things happened.
We were hoping he was going to be the one who was about to redeem Israel
They go on
22 Moreover, some women from our group astounded us. They arrived early at the tomb,
23 and when they didn’t find His body, they came and reported that they had seen a vision of angels who said He was alive.
24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they didn’t see Him.”
It was how they said it was
Now Jesus speaks
25 He said to them, “How unwise and slow you are to believe in your hearts all that the prophets have spoken!
26 Didn’t the Messiah have to suffer these things and enter into His glory?”
27 Then beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He interpreted for them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.
I found myself wishing I could have been at this Bible study. Jesus begins to walk them through the Old Testament scriptures. Perhaps he takes them to Genesis 22 and shares how Abraham being willing to sacrifice his sone Isaac pointed to Jesus and the surely he takes them to passover and the Exodus of the Israelites in Slavery and how those who sacrificed the lamb and had the blood of the lamb over the doorpost were spared, the serpent in the wilderness, Isaiah 53 and the suffering servant
4 Yet He Himself bore our sicknesses, and He carried our pains; but we in turn regarded Him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted.
5 But He was pierced because of our transgressions, crushed because of our iniquities; punishment for our peace was on Him, and we are healed by His wounds.
and Psalm 22 My God my God why have you forsaken me? and Psalm 69.
Warren Wiersby says,
The Bible Exposition Commentary Chapter Twenty-Four: The Son of Man Triumphs! (Luke 24)
The key to understanding the Bible is to see Jesus Christ on every page.
Can you imagine being there with our Lord and hearing him connect the Old Testament prophecy to the events that were happening then. It did occur to me that we have the scriptures today and they did not have them like we do.
In other words we have this explanation that they did not have then, the key is we must pick up the scriptures and read them. We must see Christ on every page as we read them.
9 If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation.
3 Jesus replied, “I assure you: Unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come.
My personal testimony
We have been shaping vision for Bridge of Faith. The vision involves programs that Make disciples of Jesus. As we shape vision, all disciple making starts with this truth that Jesus is Lord and He was raised from the dead.
Believing this changes everything
The weight of sin is lifted knowing this truth. Life changes when we believe this truth.
