We all rationalize our sins in our own minds. Yet, if we had to face Jesus on the cross, we wouldn't be brave enough to ask him unspeakable things. Yet, His eyes are always watching us.
3. Refused to Deaden the Pain
• “The wine (& gall)
was a narcotic
designed to
deaden the
sensibilities of
condemned men
& alleviate some
of the suffering.”
4. Jesus Came to Die
• John 3:16, “For God so loved
the world, that He gave His
only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have
everlasting life.”
5. Jesus Came to Die
• Romans 5:8, “But God
demonstrates His own
love toward us, in that
while we were still
sinners, Christ died for
us.”
6. The Eyes of the Suffering
• Galatians 3:1, “O foolish Galatians!
Who has bewitched you that you
should not obey the truth before
whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly
portrayed among you as crucified?”
• They saw HIM & were still
disobedient!
10. Doctrine Doesn’t Matter
• John 14:15, “If you love Me, keep
My commandments.”
• Jesus as the Word? Doctrine
doesn’t matter?
• If doctrine doesn’t matter, then
religious division is acceptable!

12. Commitment is Unimportant
• Luke 22:39-46
• Hebrews 13:5, “I will never leave
you nor forsake you.”
• Matthew 10:38, “And he who does
not take his cross and follow after
Me is not worthy of Me.”

14. Sin is Not Important
• 1 Corinthians 15:3, “Christ died for our
sins.”
• Matthew 26:28, “For this is My blood of
the new covenant, which is shed for
many for the remission of sins.”
• Why would we honor Satan when sin
put Jesus on the cross?
