Crucified
and
Risen
2. The “second Adam” (1Co. 15:45) chose to give in
to the Father’s will at the garden of Gethsemane.
He chose to reject the enemy’s temptations.
Jesus gain the full victory over evil for us. He did
it through prayer and total surrender to God’s
will.
Adam and Eve gave in to Satan’s
temptations at the Garden of
Eden. They chose to do their own
will instead of God’s.
We have those two tools to overcome every
temptation in Jesus name today.
3. “The reason why so many are left to themselves in
places of temptation is that they do not set the Lord
always before them. When we permit our communion
with God to be broken, our defense is departed from us.
Not all your good purposes and good intentions will
enable you to withstand evil. You must be men and
women of prayer. Your petitions must not be faint,
occasional, and fitful, but earnest, persevering, and
constant. It is not always necessary to bow upon your
knees in order to pray. Cultivate the habit of talking with
the Saviour when you are alone, when you are walking,
and when you are busy with your daily labor. Let the
heart be continually uplifted in silent petition for help,
for light, for strength, for knowledge. Let every breath
be a prayer.”
E.G.W. (The Ministry of Healing, cp. 43, pg. 510)
4. “Judas was highly regarded by the
disciples, and had great influence over
them. He himself had a high opinion of
his own qualifications, and looked upon
his brethren as greatly inferior to him in
judgment and ability… Judas regarded
himself as the capable one, who could
not be overreached. In his own
estimation he was an honor to the cause,
and as such he always represented
himself. Judas was blinded to his own
weakness of character, and Christ placed
him where he would have an opportunity
to see and correct this.”
E.G.W. (The Desire of Ages, cp. 76, pg. 717)
He was blinded by money and power,
so he put a price on Jesus’ head—our
free gift—. He lost his soul and life.
“Then Satan entered
Judas, surnamed
Iscariot, who was
numbered among the
twelve.” (Luke 22:3)
5. DECIDING AT GOLGOTHA
“Then one of the criminals who
were hanged blasphemed Him,
saying, ‘If You are the Christ, save
Yourself and us.’ But the other,
answering, rebuked him, saying,
‘Do you not even fear God, seeing
you are under the same
condemnation?’” (Luke 23:39-40)
The Sanhedrin (22:52-54, 66-71)
• They had proof that Jesus was
the Messiah, but they decided
to reject Him.
Pilate (23:1-7, 13-25)
• He had proof that Jesus was
innocence, but he decided to
punish Him.
Herod (23:6-12)
• He knew Jesus’ power, but he
decided to mock Him.
The good thief (26:39-43)
• He understood his own
unworthiness, so he decided
to put himself in the hands of
his Savior.
Look at the cross,
what decision will you
make?
6. “But they found the stone rolled away from
the tomb. Then they went in and did not find
the body of the Lord Jesus.” (Luke 24:2-3)
Those women were astonished, so the angels
exclaimed, “He is risen!” (Luke 24:6). How important
is the resurrection in the Plan of Salvation?
No resurrection, no hope
(1 Corinthians 15:14).
No resurrection, no mediation
(Hebrews 7:25).
No resurrection, no victory over death
(1 Corinthians 15:21).
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us
again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus
Christ from the dead.” (1 Peter 1:3)
7. “Then He said to them, ‘O foolish ones, and slow of heart
to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Ought
not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter
into His glory?’ And beginning at Moses and all the
Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the
things concerning Himself.” (Luke 24:25-27)
Jesus gave the disciples physical proof of
His resurrection (He broke the bread, He
ate fish, He let them touch Him).
Nevertheless, He didn’t want them to
have a faith based on their experience.
He led them to the study of the
Scriptures instead.
Furthermore, He told them that “it was
necessary for the Christ to suffer and to
rise from the dead the third day, and that
repentance and remission of sins should
be preached in His name.” (Luke 24:46-
47). He linked His resurrection with the
preaching of the Gospel.
8. “After His resurrection Jesus appeared to His disciples
on the way to Emmaus… He wished the truth to take
firm root in their minds, not merely because it was
supported by His personal testimony, but because of
the unquestionable evidence presented by the
symbols and shadows of the typical law, and by the
prophecies of the Old Testament. It was needful for
the followers of Christ to have an intelligent faith, not
only in their own behalf, but that they might carry the
knowledge of Christ to the world. And as the very first
step in imparting this knowledge, Jesus directed the
disciples to ‘Moses and all the prophets.’ Such was the
testimony given by the risen Saviour to the value and
importance of the Old Testament Scriptures.”
E.G.W. (The Desire of Ages, cp. 19, pg. 349)
