INTRO
Jesus continues to teach
Previously… Pharisee, Tax Collector, Child, Rich Ruler
Withdraws to give a word to the disciples…. I AM GOING TO THE CROSS
Prediction of His death and resurrection
The passion of Christ
It is God’s plan from the beginning – v. 31b
Going up to Jerusalem
God’s timing is always perfect… HIS PLAN
They were headed to Jerusalem for the Passover, yet He is the Passover Lamb.
Everything… will be accomplished
God’s redemptive plan
Handed over to the gentiles
They would have been shocked
Redemption is the Outcome – vv. 32-33
Delivered over to the Gentiles
Matthew 20:18 Betrayed by Jewish authorities and handed over to the Gentiles.
Mocked, shamefully treated, spit upon, flogged
Crucified, Rise again
His death would be the culmination of the divine redemptive purpose of God. The cross is the primary event in redemptive history and therefore the primary event in all of history.[1]
It is a Hard Message to Receive – v. 34
Would not
Wrong views of who Christ was (Coronation… not Crucifixion)
Costly, Narrow way
Could not
Luke 24:16 – The two on the road to Emmaus
Only when the Spirit opened their eyes did they respond
Yet, is a message that should be heard, believed, and received
The Four Essentials of the Gospel: God, man, Christ, response. (Mark Dever, 9Marks Ministries) God is both our sovereign Creator and our righteous Judge. - You alone are the Lord. You have made the heavens, the heaven of heavens with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to all of them and the heavenly host bows down before You (Neh 9:6). - Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy before the Lord, for He is coming to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with equity (Ps 98:9). - God therefore has the right of ownership over us by virtue of creating us, and he has the right to punish or reward us by virtue of his royal, judicial office. And because God is both our Creator and Judge, we are doubly accountable to Him for all our behavior – word, thought, and deed. Man was created by God, in God’s image, to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. But man sinned against God by disobeying His holy law. Man therefore separated himself from God’s holy and satisfying presence, and incurred His wrathful displeasure. - God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them (Gen 1:27). - For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23). - For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness (Rom 1:18). Jesus Christ’s death was the substitute payment for the penalty that we deserved for our sin. His death is God’s only provision for the forgiveness of man’s sin and the appeasement of God’s wrath against him. - All we like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him (Isa 53:6). - He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him (John 3:36). - And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We are called to respond to this good news in repentance and belief – turning away from our sin and self-sufficiency toward God, and trusting in the shed blood of Jesus Christ as the substitute penalty that we deserved for our sin. - The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel (Mark 1:15). - Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day, and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem (Luke 24:46-47).
