Matthew 27:27-44
ASK
What is the first practical lesson mentioned in the sermon?
Men’s minds are darkened! Their treatment of Jesus was savagery. Their minds could not accept the fact that Jesus was the Messiah, the actual King. According to the gospels it was after His death that the soldier realized that He was the Son of God.
And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”
–Mark 15:39 (ESV)
What is the second practical lesson mentioned in the sermon?
Men’s hearts are depraved. Their cruelty points towards their hearts.
What is the third practical lesson mentioned in the sermon?
God’s Word is dependable. Everything about Jesus’ crucifixion is prophesied in the Old Testament.
What is the fourth practical lesson mentioned in the sermon?
Christ’s purpose was durable. Jesus bore it all without complaining; He was obedient until death.
