1 FIVE THINGS THAT CRUCIFIED CHRIST Luke 23:1-49 1

2 1 - A VOW THAT WAS EASILY BROKEN! Peter’s denial was foretold by Jesus – Matthew 26:31-35 All shall be offended in me “I will never be offended…” “Likewise also said all the disciples” Peter’s denial recorded – Matthew 26:70-74 All the disciples forsook him – Matthew 26:56 Do we make promises to the Lord, we don’t keep? Romans 6 Colossians 3 2

3 2 - A WATCH THAT WAS NOT KEPT! Disciples in the Garden – Mark 14:32-42 “Watch and pray…” – Mark 14:38 Critical time! “My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death,…watch with me” Matthew 26:38 Have we failed to “watch and pray”? Behave like men – 1 Corinthians 16:13 Be faithful – 1 Corinthians 15:58 Give diligence – 2 Timothy 2:15; Hebrews 4:11 Be sober, be watchful – 1 Thessalonians 5:6; 1 Peter 5:8 3

4 3 - A KISS WITH NO LOVE – A KISS OF DEATH! Judas’ betrayal – Matthew 26:14-16, 24 He had seen the miracles of Jesus: Calmed the sea – Matthew 8:27 Walked on the water – Matthew 14:26 Healed the sick and cast out demons – Mark 1:32-34 He compromised & sold out – “What are ye willing to give me?” (Matthew 26:15) He betrayed Jesus – “Whomsoever I shall kiss…take him” (Matthew 26:48) A Hypocrite: Has seen the evidence and will not be faithful! 1 Peter 1:8-9 4

5 4 - A QUESTION THAT DESIRED NO ANSWER! Pilate – John 18:36-38 Found no fault in him – Matthew 27:18, 24 “What is truth?” – John 18:37-38 Many know the truth and then turn away: Galatians – Galatians 4:16; 3:1; 5:7 “What must I do?” Paul didn’t turn away Acts 22:16; 9:18 The consequences of those who do not obey the truth: 2 Thessalonians 1:8; Romans 2:8 5

6 5 - A TRIAL THAT DID NOT TRY! Jewish court – Matthew 26; Mark 14; Luke 22-23 Sought false witnesses – Matthew 26:59-64 Pilate knew Jesus was innocent, yet crucified him anyway – Matthew 27:18-26 Some fail to investigate - Not interested in truth! – John 17:17 cf. Luke 6:46; John 20:30-31 They lie, deceive, misrepresent and remain in ignorance! We are commanded to try the spirits – 1 John 4:1; 1 Thessalonians 5:21 Matthew 24:4-5 6

7 CONCLUSION Peter – Wept bitterly! Luke 22:62 Disciples – Couldn’t answer! Mark 14:40 Judas – Hanged himself! Matthew 27:3-5 Pilate – Was a coward! Matthew 27:24 Jewish court – Didn’t care! Matthew 27:1; 26:59ff Their consciences should have smitten them ! 7
