1. SIN The Elephant in the Room… What is the Spiritual Elephant in the

2. Why don’t we want to talk about this subject? It involves GUILT
It involves SHAME
It has NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES
It KEEPS US AWAY FROM OUR CREATOR

3. But what did It robbed Him Sin do to of His glory Jesus? Isa. 53:1-3
When he was born of
woman,
that Glory was
replaced with:
Poverty, humiliation,
suspicion
Ugliness
Temptation
Rejection
But what did
Sin do to
Jesus?
It robbed Him
of His glory
Isa. 53:1-3
Phil. 2:6

4. It created unspeakable Anguish for Him
Humiliation of Being Spit on
The Scourging
Flesh separated from bones
Fluid would have began to
collect in lungs
Crown of Thorns
Would have irritated major
nerve endings on the head
Severely dehydrated
Danger of going into shock
It created unspeakable Anguish for Him
Isa. 53:4-6

5. It Cost Him His Life! Isa. 53:7-9 Nails were actually spikes- 5-7 in
long.
Driven into the median nerve of
hands. Pain so intense that even
Morphine couldn’t being relief
Was the Sheared as sacrificial
lamb led to the slaughter
When goat was being
slaughtered, it let out a blood
cuddling sound heard a mile away,
But this lamb silently submitted to
Its death (1 Peter 2:21-25)
It Cost Him His Life!
Isa. 53:7-9

6. Victory over Sin! Isa. 53:10 Sin and its aftermath…
Grave with the wicked-
Isa. 53:8-9
Intercession made- v. 10
Lk. 23:34
There would be harvest from His Seed- Gal. 3:26-29
There would be justification- Mk. 10:45

7. He saved others because He would not save himself!
This is the essence of Isaiah 53:5
“He was wounded (pierced through)
for OUR transgressions, He was
bruised (crushed) for
OUR iniquities; the chastisement
(punishment) for OUR peace
was upon Him, and by His stripes
blows that cut in) WE are
healed.”
He saved others, but he
cannot save himself-
Lk. 23:35
