Going to The Cross
Matthew 27:27-44, Philippians 2:1-18 and Isaiah 53:13 – 54
Matt 27:27-44
*/The Soldiers Mock Jesus/*
27 Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him.
28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, 29 and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head.
They put a staff in his right hand and knelt in front of him and mocked him.
"Hail, king of the Jews!" they said.
30 They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again.
31 After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him.
Then they led him away to crucify him.
*The King on a Cross*
32 As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross.
33 They came to a place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull).
34 There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink it.
35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots.
36 And sitting down, they kept watch over him there.
37 Above his head they placed the written charge against him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Two robbers were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.
39 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads 40 and saying, "You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself!
Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!"
41 In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him.
42 "He saved others," they said, "but he can't save himself!
He's the King of Israel!
Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.
43 He trusts in God.
Let God rescue him now if he wants him, for he said, 'I am the Son of God.'" 44 In the same way the robbers who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
*/Jesus Dies on the Cross/*
45 From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.
46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, /“Eloi, Eloi,/a/ lama sabachthani?”/—which
means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”b
47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”
48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge.
He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink.
49 The rest said, “Now leave him alone.
Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”
50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
The earth shook and the rocks split.
52 The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.
53 They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus’ resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Sonc of God!”
55 Many women were there, watching from a distance.
They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs.
56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.
*/The Burial of Jesus/*
* *
57 As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus.
58 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.
59 Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock.
He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away.
61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.
*/The Guard at the Tomb/*
* *
62 The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate.
63 “Sir,” they said, “we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’
64 So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day.
Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the body and tell the people that he has been raised from the dead.
This last deception will be worse than the first.”
65 “Take a guard,” Pilate answered.
“Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.” 66 So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard.

The story of Christ going to the cross for you and me will never become old nature or secondary.
It is new every time it is read.
One point that always remains amazing about the dead of Jesus, for me, is the fact that He knew what was about to happen!
He knew the pain, the anguish, the suffering, and the humility that the cross would bring, yet He willingly died for you and for me.
*Paul wrote* in Rom 5:6-8 Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
What love that God has show to you and to me.
It a love that is difficult to demonstrate by us, yet it is the same love that God commands us to freely give to others.
It a love that requires others to ask of us –why do they love us, we have not show love to them.
Jesus said in John 3:16-18 16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
It is this measure of love that changes the heart and minds of people and it is this same degree of love that God wants us to share.
Jesus said in John 13:34-35 34 "A new command I give you: Love one another.
As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
Again He said in John 15:12-13 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
Lastly He said in John 15:17, “This is my command: Love each other.”
God’s love was show to the world before it was ready to accept it.
Our most quote verse about God love.
John 3:16-18 16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
*He went to the cross, now it is our turn to show the world His like of love*
This kind of love is almost incomprehensible.
It is somewhat beyond our mental capacity to reproduce in the same measurement.
Somehow, we must learn how to share it.
Now, God has commanded that we learn to love other as He loves us.
Impossible, only God can love like God.
This is true but neverther less we love as He loved us, therefore, he Not only has He asked this but also has provide a way.
Those who simply find it impossible to love some people will rejoice by knowing what the power to love, God has given to you at salvation.
Holy Spirit power enables you to think like God as you yield yourself to Him.
Galatians 5:22 – The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
Since we to desire to Love others like Christ, let me suggest four promises you should make tonight.
These are promises that God will help you keep.
1.
Make a promise to serve others as Christ served
2.
Make a promise to think like Christ
3.
Make a promise to live your life as Christ lived His
4.
Make a promise to remember how Christ gave his life for yours.
For you to keep these four promises, it will require you to think like Christ.
