THE CRUCIFIXION AND RESURRECTION OF OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST.

• And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching
  vain, and your faith is also vain. I Corinthians
  1514

THEN RELEASED HE BARABBAS UNTO THEM WHEN HE HAD
SCOURAGED JESUS, HE DELIVERED HIM TO BE
CRUCIFIED. MATT.2726

• Barabbas deserved the cross.
• Bar in Hebrew means son
• Abba in Hebrew means father
• Barabbas means son of father
• The people chose a criminal named son of father
  instead of Jesus, who was the Son of God the
  Father

3
WHO DESERVED THE CROSS?

• To the cross intended for the sinner, murderer
  and seditionist, Barabbas, (son of father) went
  the sinless, blameless and spotless Son of God
  the Father Savior Messiah, Jesus.
• Jesus went to the sinners cross to die by
  crucifixion in the place of the actual sinner(s).
  His vicarious death.

4
Legend says this about Barabbas

• While Jesus was hanging on the cross Barabbas ran
  to its foot and cried out, O Jesus of Nazareth,
  I know not who you are, but this I know You are
  hanging there in my place.
• This is the cry of faith that savesJesus, you
  died in my place! It is my sins that nailed you
  to the cross!

5
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into
the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole
band of soldiers. And they strip- ped Him, and
put on him a scarlet robe. Matthew 27 27, 28

• Matthew 27 15-25 the Jews demand that Pilot give
  them Jesus to crucify.
• Matthew 27 27, 28 the gentiles (Roman soldiers
  official representa- tives of the Roman Empire)
  strip Jesus put on Him the scarlet robe.

6
Come now and let us reason together, saith the
Lord though your sins be as scarlet, they shall
be white as snow though they be red like
crimson, they shall be as wool. Isaiah 118

• Scarlet is the color God uses for sin!
• Jesus is clothed in scarlet! (not purple)
• When sinners trust in Jesus as their Savior, we
  take His clothes of right- eousness for ourselves
  and He took our clothes of scarlet sin at Calvary!

7
WHAT IS THE ESSENCE OF THE GOSPEL?

• All of my scarlet sins were put on (clothed)
  Jesus as He hung on the Cross of Calvary---
• By grace through faith at the point of salvation
  I am clothed in the unblemished righteousness of
  the Son of Almighty God, the Lord Jesus Christ.
• My sin on Jesus---His righteousness on me!!! I am
  clean as white snow!

8
And when they had plaited a crown of thorns,
they put it upon His head, and a reed in His
right hand and they bowed the knee before Him,
and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews.
Matthew 2729

• The last of King Davids dynasty to be crowned in
  Jerusalem is crowned with thorns.
• With the thorns in His precious head, Jesus bears
  the curse of sin of which the thorn has become
  the symbol!

The Gospel in the Crucifixion, by George E.
Guille

• The third chapter of Genesis records the curse
  upon creation because of sin. So widespread and
  far-reaching has it become that the whole
  creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together
  until now (Rom. 822) In Genesis 3 we find the
  full signi- ficance of the crown of thorns. There
  we find no less than 7 features of the

10

• curse, and every one has been fully met by our
  Lord.
• First, is the fact itself Cursed is the ground
  for thy sake. But behold how He has fulfilled
  that which was written of Him (Deut. 2123)
  Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the
  law, being made a curse for us for it is
  written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth upon a
  tree (Gal. 313)

11

• Second In sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the
  days of thy life. And he of the thorn-crowned
  brow was a man of sorrows, and acquainted with
  grief (Isa. 533), saying, as He faced the
  cross, My soul is exceed- ing sorrowful, even
  unto death (Matt. 2638).
• Third Thorns also and thistles shall it bring
  forth to thee. Behold that which became the
  symbol of the

12

• Curse woven into a crown for Gods Son!
• Fourth In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat
  bread. Of Him who was made a curse it is
  written And his sweat was as it were great
  drops of blood falling down to the ground (Luke
  2244)
• Fifth Till thou return unto the ground for out
  of it wast thou taken for dust thou art, and
  unto

13

• dust shalt thou return. And centuries before our
  Lord was born, David, by the Holy Ghost, put upon
  His lips these words Thou hast brought me into
  the dust of death (Psa. 2215).
• Sixth God had forewarned Adam that death should
  be the result of disobedience. Now the sentence
  is executed. So He drove out the man.

14

• Out from the garden of delight, where Gods
  presence had been manifested. That is
  deathseparation from God. To this also Christ
  has answered. In that outside place, amid the
  thick darkness, He cried, My God, my God, why
  hast thou forsaken me?
• Seventh He placed at the east of the garden of
  Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned
  every

15

• way, to keep the way of the tree of life. But
  that flaming sword has been quenched in holy
  blood, as it is written Awake O sword, against
  my shepherd, and against the man that is my
  fellow, saith the Lord of hosts (Zech. 137
  Matt. 2631,32).
• Thus did the Lord of life and glory receive the
  curse that was our due, that we might me blessed
  forever!

16
And as they came out, they found a man of
Cyrene, Simon by name him they compelled to bear
His cross (Matt. 2732).

• Simon means, hearkener, to give heed in order to
  comply.
• Cyrene the supremacy of the bridle.
• The Hearkener submits to Roman auth- ority,
  carries the cross, follows Jesus.
• The Christians badge is a cross, he is crucified
  with Christ as he submits to the authority of the
  Bible, follows Lord Jesus.

17
And when they were come unto a place called
Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skullthey
crucified Him. Matt. 2733,35a

• The wisdom of the Jewish and Gentile leadership
  said, Kill Jesus!
• Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this
  world (1 Cor. 120b)
• The Lord Jesusthe wisdom of God
• In Jesus are hid all the treasures of wisdom and
  knowledge (Col. 23)
• In Him was life and the life was the light of
  men. (John 14)

18
GOLGOTHASKULL PLACE

• A skullno tissue, brain, no wisdom!
• Unbelieving Gentile and Jew boast of their
  wisdom, but the wisdom of the world is
  foolishness to God.
• The wisdom of the world demanded that Jesus be
  nailed to a tree. That cross was planted in a
  skull of rock!
• The symbolism screams at mankind!

19
They gave Him vinegar to drink mingled with
gall and when He had tasted thereof, He would
not drink.

• Vinegar and gall had anesthetic and analgesic
  effectsJesus refused!
• He was willing to drink the cup of Gods divine
  wrath against sin without the stupefying effects
  of drugs.
• He gave Himself to the complete endurance of
  Gods judgment, accepting no relief from men that
  He could give them full relief from the
  consequences of their sin!

20
AND THEY CRUCIFIED HIM, AND PARTED HIS GARMENTS,
CASTING LOTS. MT 2735

• Read The Gospel of John 1923,24
• Roman custom officials of execution get to keep
  clothes of the crucified.
• Soldiers discover the seamless robe.
• They cannot divide the robe without destroying it
  so they cast lots for it.
• The Prophecy They part my gar- ments among
  them, and cast lots upon my vesture. Psalm 2218

21
The seamless robe of Jesus is the figure of
another robe

• As Isaiah said, I will greatly rejoice in the
  Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God for He
  hath clothed me with the garments of salvation,
  He hath covered me with the robe of
  righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself
  with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself
  with jewels. Isaiah 6110

22
AS THE PRODIGAL RETURNS HIS FATHER SAYS, BRING
FORTH THE BEST ROBE AND PUT IT ON HIM! LUKE
1522A

• Adam and Eve, in their expensively purchased
  knowledge, discovered that they were naked. And
  that shameful word became Gods description of
  the sinners moral stateNAKED! Nothing of his
  own in which to hide sin his only claim upon
  God! He must have a garmentone of Gods own
  pattern, of His materials and of His providing,
  its color, a deathstain. Guille p. 15

23
Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God
make coats of skins, and clothed them. Genesis
321

• Genesis chapter 2 ends with Adam and Eve in
  sinless, selfless servant- hood of each other and
  their God.
• Genesis 3 sin enters and now a vicarious blood
  sacrifice must be made for without the shedding
  of blood there is no remission of sin.
• Blood must be spilled to provide a garment for
  the naked pair

24
The blood-sacrifice as a symbol of salvation is
part of Jewish history until at the cross of
Jesus the full meaning of this Jewish ritual is
made plain.

• When we were enemies, we were reconciled to God
  by the death of His Son. Romans 510

25
Who wears the Robe of Righteousness?

• Only the man or woman of faith!
• As it is written Even the righteous-ness of God
  which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and
  upon all them that believe. Romans 322
• The moment a sinner believes the gospel, Gods
  righteousness is upon him as robed, covering
  him from head to foot as justified before God!
