Purpose?: To exhort people to be true disciples of Jesus.
I. Christ’s Future Suffering (21)
A. Go to Jerusalem
Active - He could not avoid the suffering.
71.34 δεῖa: to be that which must necessarily take place, often with the implication of inevitability—‘to be necessary, must.’
B. Suffering
Active - Jesus did the suffering caused by the actions of the orthodox leaders.
1. Elders = presbytery
1. Elders = presbytery
1. Elders = presbytery
2. Chief Priests - Sadducees
3. Scribes - Pharisees
53.94 γραμματεύςa, έως m: a recognized expert in Jewish law (including both canonical and traditional laws and regulations)—‘one who is learned in the Law, expert in the Law’ or ‘… Law of Moses.’
πῶς λέγουσιν οἱ γραμματεῖς ὅτι ὁ Χριστὸς υἱὸς Δαυίδ ἐστιν; ‘how can the experts of the Law say that the Messiah will be the descendant of David?’ Mk 12:35.
All of these made up the Sanhedrin or the ruling court of the Jews.
C. Killed
C. Killed
Passive - an action done against Him the religious leaders.
C. Killed
D. Raised
Passive - an action done to Him by the Father.
Jesus must go, He must suffer, He must be killed, He must be raised.
These were divine, ageless musts.
No plan B. Why must He go?
Because men are sinners
Because of the need for blood.
The righteousness of God must be satisfied
Because of the righteousness of God that must be satisfied
Because the prophets had promised it.
II Peter’s Opposition (22-23)
A. Peter’s Rebuke (22)
He physically grabbed Jesus and pulled off to the side.
B. Christ’s Response to Peter (23)
We must try to catch the tone of voice in which Jesus spoke.
He certainly did not say it with a snarl of anger in his voice and a blaze of indignant passion in his eyes.
He said it like a man wounded to the heart, with poignant grief and a kind of shuddering horror.
1. Name
Peter began to rebuke Jesus but didn’t get to finish because Jesus cuts Peter off.
Just like Satan’s temptation in the desert which was to take a short cut to the kingdom.
Peter goes from the prime apostle to the tool of the tempter, from “Blessed” to “Satan”
Was it too strong?
No, it was a hellish idea (S.
Lewis Johnson) that Peter was pushing.
His intentions were good, but the outcome was diabolical
2. Offense
3. We don’t like to be rebuked, even by the Word of God.
When we act out of our flesh rather than the Word of God, we too become Satan = Adversary of Jesus.
We must learn that there is pain in the discipleship process.
III.

2. Because It Is Profitable

The Savior does not fit the sympathies of men.
We must learn that there is pain in the discipleship process.
