Title: The Three Crucifixions of Paul


1
The Three Crucifixionsof Paul
  • In the Book of Galatians

2
Jesus Cross Is Our Cross
  • Many wear a cross (an emblem of beauty), but they
    do not bear a cross (an emblem of suffering and
    shame)
  • Jesus said we are to take up our own cross
    (Mt. 1624 Lk. 923 1427)

3
Jesus Cross Is Our Cross
  • We are to be crucified with Christ
  • Literally the three crucifixions on Calvary
    (Mt. 2744 Mk. 1532 Jn. 1932
  • Figuratively the three crucifixions of Paul in
    Galatians (220 524 614)
  • On a cross there is death
  • On a cross there is pain suffering

4
Jesus Cross Is Our Cross
  • The Galatian churches had two basic problems
    accepting another gospel (16 512) and
    walking by the works of the flesh (513 610)
  • Paul knew that the problems among the Galatian
    churches would be solved only by being truly
    crucified (220 524 614)

5
The Three Crucifixions of Paul
  • First, Paul crucified himself (Gal. 220)
  • Our allegiance is to live for Christ from the
    point of our faith baptism onward (Gal.
    326-27)
  • We are to no longer let self interests (me-ism)
    dictate what we do each day my self has no
    attraction anymore (Rom. 63-6 Phil. 121
    36-11)

6
The Three Crucifixions of Paul
  • Second, Paul crucified the flesh (Gal. 524)
  • Our allegiance to is to the Holy Spirit, not to
    the flesh (Gal. 31-2 513-26 68)
  • We are to no longer let the fleshly desires and
    habits dictate what we do each day the flesh has
    no attraction anymore (Rom. 812-14 1314 Eph.
    420-24 Col. 35-10)

7
The Three Crucifixions of Paul
  • Third, Paul crucified the world (Gal. 614)
  • Our allegiance is to Christ, not the world
    (Gal. 14)
  • We are to no longer let the world dictate what we
    do each day the world has no attraction anymore
    (Jn. 1519 1716 1 Cor. 413 Jas. 47
    1 Pet. 43-4 1 Jn. 215-17)

8
Are You A Crucified Christian?
  • Are you a tired, retired, or flat-tired
    Christian?
  • Do you carry an unused cross, an unused talent,
    unused armor, or an unused Bible?
  • The Christian has his Calvary too
    (Heb. 1312-13)!
