Heads Held High
Heads Held High
Death is not easy - reminds us whats most important
Great tension looking at the cross - call it wonderful, beautiful
Paul said it this way
But as for me, I will never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. The world has been crucified to me through the cross, and I to the world.
Look Up
Look Up
Confidence in the cross only
Boast - means hold your head high
we live in a heads down society
Look up- good posture - realigns our lives
It is all about Him and the cross
- we will see..
The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Heads Held High
Behold - see - look upon, experience
The lamb - born to be the sacrifice
Look upon the one who ate with sinners, welcome outsiders and children
Healed. calmed storms
Pilate echoed the call
So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold the man!”
Heads Held High
the man - betrayed, abandoned,
beaten until the soldiers tired
Pronounced not guilty- but called to crucify
We can’t physically see Him, but we can look upon Him
Though you have not seen him, you love him; though not seeing him now, you believe in him, and you rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy, because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Heads Held High
Look on with Joy - why because it is for me and you
He had only one motivation
For you know that you were redeemed from your empty way of life inherited from your fathers, not with perishable things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb.
We look up because He looked upon us and our need
This is how we have come to know love: He laid down his life for us. We should also lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
Heads Held High
Carry cross , when he could not carry it someone was forced to do it
Via Dolorosa - the way of suffering - filled with shops, crowded like no other time - Passover
not just Crucifixion - also humiliation - set an example
Then the cross
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree; so that, having died to sins, we might live for righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
Heads Held High
the cross - sins cancelled with the pounding of the nails
beautiful mystery - streams of blood cover my sins
Even the Father turned His head from the sin - Jesus died alone
His suffering creates overwhelming gratitude and humility
This why and what we can boast in
“ ‘This is what the Lord says: The wise person should not boast in his wisdom; the strong should not boast in his strength; the wealthy should not boast in his wealth.
Hold your Head High
Determine to know nothing else but Jesus and Him crucified - Hold head high as
Declares you forgiven
Bears every sorrow, grief, and pain
Removes your guilt, shame, and penalty
For the one who knows your name and declares you wonderfully made
Not only the cross is empty, but also the tomb
Declare..
I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Come, and see the victories of the cross. Christ’s wounds are thy healings, His agonies thy repose, His conflicts thy conquests, His groans thy songs, His pains thine ease, His shame thy glory, His death thy life, His sufferings thy salvation.
Matthew Henry
