The Purpose Of Jesus
All of us have a purpose.
We can think about that long term or short term
For example, at work I’m responsible for many things.
Like making sure our websites are updated
Checking the code to ensure it looks correct
Any new features for the sites
And then at home, making sure we have everything we need
Making sure the bills are paid, and making the money to pay the bills.
Cristy is responsible for nearly everything else
She also cleans the church and chooses the songs as Worship Leader.
Christian has several jobs.
the most important job is to annoy Lizzie.
I could keep going with others, but I think you get the picture.
I have a purpose here at the church.
It says in Ephesians that God set up the structure of the church to equip the church for the work of the ministry (Ephesians 4:11-16)
Jesus had a purpose.
God had a plan.
There was a purpose for the cross.
What has Jesus been talking about?
He has been talking to the Rich Young Ruler.
I’m not going into big details here, because I may cover this later, but salvation is the main topic.
Those around Jesus said “Who then can be saved?”
Jesus then says that all is possible with God.
Then, Jesus talks about how God will reward Sacrifice.
That brings us to our Scripture where Jesus takes his disciples aside.
Jesus will fulfill Scripture
In this scripture, Jesus is telling what he was about to do.
Did you Jesus fulfilled over 3 hundred prophecies in the OT.
I just want to talk about a few of them.
Isaiah 53 has a bunch of them but in the last few verses we see a bunch.
verses Isaiah 53:10-12
These things were written over 700 years before Jesus.
And what about Psalm 22:1
Jesus quotes this on the cross.
It was written about a 1000 years before Jesus.
In fact, we have a copy of psalm 22 that was scribed over a 100 years before Jesus.
That’s not all it says
also, a few verses down Psalm 22:16-18
Think about this: it describes the crucifixion before it was even invented.
And none of this was done by Jesus - He was a victim of it.
We can be sure that someone looked down and saw what would happen and recorded it way before it ever happened.
So we can be sure that Jesus fulfilled Scripture.
Jesus will be Scourged
He will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
I don’t know if you can imagine the way they treated people back then.
It was horrific.
We often complain about how we are treated and that don’t even compare to what Jesus went through.
Many people didn’t even survive the scourging.
The Romans knew how to torture and kill people.
The scourge was a whip like thing made of several lengths of some kind of cord or leather with several bits of metal tied to it.
Sometimes the ends would have hooks in them that they called the scorpion.
The would beat them almost to the point of death and some would die in the process.
The hooks at the end would often tear pieces of flesh off and well, I don’t want to get any more graphic than that.
That doesn’t even include the ridicule they went through.
They would then make the person that was scourged carry the cross.
When they got to Golgotha or Calvary where ...
Jesus will be our Sacrifice
The cross wouldn’t have been an easy thing to look upon.
They would nail or tie or both the person to the cross.
They actually found someone that had a nail in their ankles in an ossuary in Israel.
The point is that they were not coming off.
They would die on the cross.
It wasn’t an easy death.
Because of their outstretched hands, they couldn’t breathe correctly.
So fluids would build up in their lungs until the couldn’t push up to breathe any more and they would die.
All of that describes what Jesus was saying that would happen on what we call good Friday.
Then on the the 3rd day ...
Jesus will Spring out of the tomb
The women that took care of Jesus went to the tomb that Joseph of Arimathea had secured for Jesus and couldn’t find him.
He wasn’t there because he was risen.
You know what, he still is.
This proved that he was God.
I have been talking about everything like it was going to happen because that is the perspective that Jesus was telling them.
Now we are going to talk about what did happen.
Jesus did rise from the tomb and he remains risen.
Some will say that the apostles just thought that he rose, but not only did this event change the lives of the apostles, but the lives of the whole world.
Our calendar revolves around the birth of Jesus.
