Intro: Golf Instructor
When I was in middle school, my best friend had access to a golf cart.
We heard of a golf team and thought we’d join to get to be the Duke’s of Hazard
Read Matthew 26:1-27:50

1. Jesus’ death was a necessary fulfillment of God’s plan
Through our study of the bible this year we have seen how God’s plan builds throughout scripture to fully reveal the Gospel - the good news about God and His plan of redemption.
A. God is the Creator of everything – including humanity
Gen. 1:1
And because He is the Creator or everything - including humanity: He is the One who sets the parameters of life
and we all will give an account of our lives to Him
B. Humanity has rebelled against the Creator and deserves eternal punishment
Romans 5:12, 3:23
No one is exempt from the brokenness that resulted from the fall of Adam and Eve
Every one of us is placed in the category of sinner
C. Jesus came to give those who are dead in sin, life!
Romans 5:8, 1 John 5 11-12
D. We are called to respond in repentance and faith
Repentance means to turn away from our rebellion against God.
It doesn’t mean that we bring an immediate end to our sinning, but that we’ll never again live at peace with our sins - because of it’s severity.
We are also to turn to God in faith.
Faith is reliance.
It is a trust in the risen Jesus to save you from your sins.
John 3:17-18
The plan of God was both foretold throughout the old testament and by Jesus himself.
All of this:
That the Messiah would come
Would be betrayed
Would suffer
Would die
was all according to the Scriptures that foretold of God’s plan (Gen.
3; Isaiah 7; Isaiah 53; Psalms; Hosea 6; Jonah 1)
The OT portrayed God’s Plan, but Christ did too.
Look with me again at:
Matt 26:31 - is a foretelling of what would come but references back to Zech.
13:7
At one point in v. 51 Peter took a sword and cut off the ear of one of the captors (Malchus)
Jesus responded:
Through all of this, we know that Jesus’ death was a necessary fulfillment of God’s plan.
It was not an accident, or the ultimate result of the Jews hatred.
It was God’s plan.
Peter wrote in: 1 Peter 1:18-20
The Gospel was not plan B. the plan all along was Jesus…
But before we view the crucifixion in an unbiblical light as cruel or unjust, we must know that:
2. Jesus’ death reveals both the holiness of God and the severity of sin
3. Jesus’ death was substitutionary for sinners
