Life of Christ Lesson 175a: The Crucifixion - Part I {It is Finished III}
1w ago01:05:13Tap to summarizeIn-depth commentary/study books to ACCOMPANY EVERY STUDY on our podcast are available through Amazon.com and scripturetruth.com Search under Katherine Caldwell Commentaries) In this lesson, we engage in the unpleasant task of describing the suffering of the cruelest, most disgraceful death instrument depraved mankind ever invented. We discuss a four-point outline in this two-part study of "The Crucifixion": the Pain of Crucifixion, the Prayer of Christ ("Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do"), the Parting of Clothing (a fulfillment of Psalm 22:18), and the Placard of the Cross. Similar to the lack of any details recorded in the four gospels about the Lord's scourging by the Romans, we also find that none of the four divinely inspired authors wrote anything more about His crucifixion than simply to say, "they crucified Him" along with "two robbers". From the human perspective, we can assume Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John saw little reason to describe the horrors of crucifixion to their contemporary readers, for everyone in that day knew more about crucifixion than they wanted to know.

2w ago01:02:34Tap to summarizeIn-depth commentary/study books to ACCOMPANY EVERY STUDY on our podcast are available through Amazon.comuand scripturetruth.com Search under Katherine Caldwell Commentaries) A number of prophecies were fulfilled during "Satan's Hour of Darkness" - in this lesson, Isaiah 49:7, 53:3, and First Samuel 8:5, which all predicted Israel's rejection of her King/Messiah, were fulfilled. Also, the Lord's own prediction in Mark 10:34 and Matthew 27:30 that He would be spat upon by the Gentiles was fulfilled. Isaiah 50:6b, which Jesus mentioned in Mark 15:19, was fulfilled. It said that the Messiah would not hide His face from shame and spitting!

2w ago00:59:08Tap to summarizeSatan's enmity against God was manifested throughout the Old Testament era by his continual striving to prevent the Christ from being born! Satan sought to eliminate the ancestral line from which He (the Saviour) was prophesied to come. When he failed in that mission, Satan attempted to eliminate Him shortly after He was born by using Herod the Great's horrific "Bethlehem Massacre". God intervened, and the old dragon was again foiled in his quest. Then, repeatedly throughout the Lord's earthly life, Satan continued in his attempts to destroy Him - either through temptations to sin or premature death. Again, he was always hindered by the Lord from accomplishing his mission. But during Christ's trials and crucifixion, God no longer hindered the powers of darkness. The hour had arrived when the serpent would bruise the Saviour's heel (Genesis 3:15). Satan fully availed himself of his opportunity to persecute, mock, and kill his age-old Enemy (his very Creator), which he did through his human dupes.

3w ago01:13:47Tap to summarizeFor all Caldwell Commentary study books go to scripturetruth.com or mazon.com John 19:1-5 SCOURGED. MOCKED. EXHIBITED. HATED. The horrible atrocities heaped upon the One Who came into the world to seek and to save that which was lost went beyond the bounds of reasonable human understanding. Where was the divinely inspired, Scripturally-based justice of Israel in the Jews' dealings with Jesus? Where was the much praised Roman justice when it came to His civil trials? Why was a bound Prisoner scourged and mocked and condemned to die when "the judge" repeatedly declared His innocence? Why was the Lord Jesus treated in a way that unparalleled the treatment of any other person in history? What is the secret of His gross mistreatment and injustice? The answer is that divine restraint was removed so human depravity was permitted to demonstrate itself in all its deceitful fulness as representatives of both Jews and Gentiles crucified the Son of God Who came to save them. We are also told by Christ Himself that His unparalleled mistreatment was due to the fact that it was "Satan's Hour of Darkness" (see Luke 22:53). The "hour" had arrived when the serpent would bruise the Saviour's "heel" (Genesis 3:15). Learn about this "hour" in both this and the following two lessons.

3w ago01:04:31Tap to summarizeMatthew 27:15-21; Mark 15:6-11; Luke 23:17-19; John 18:39, 40 In this second half of our study on "The Lamb Before His Shearers" (see Lesson 171a), we do not so much look at the silence of Christ as we did when He stood before His accusers and before Herod Antipas, but we look at the selection of the crowd. Pilate presented the crowd assembled around the Praetorium with a "Passover Bargain". They could choose to free one prisoner, and the choice was between Jesus and Barabbas, a robber, murderer, and insurrectionist against Rome. We also discuss "Mrs. Pilate's Precautionary Dream" - one her husband should have paid great attention to! Thirdly, we then look at "The Multitude's Providential Choice". Sadly, they chose to free Barabbas instead of Jesus - but, of course, Jesus was the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world!

3w ago01:11:37Tap to summarizeFor all Caldwell Commentary study books go to scripturetruth.com or mazon.com Matthew 27:12-14; Mark 15:3-5; Luke 23:5-16 This is the first of a two-part study entitled, "The Lamb Before His Shearers," speaking of the Lord Jesus, the True Lamb of God sent to redeem mankind from our sin, as He appeared before the official representatives of Rome in a three-phased "civil" trial. After having failed to find a legitimate indictment against Jesus, the Jewish Sanhedrin Council accused Him of blasphemy when He truthfully claimed to be "the Christ, the Son of God". The condemned Him to die. However, since the Jews did not have the legal authority to exact the death penalty themselves, they had to turn to Rome (although this didn't stop them a little later when it came to stoning Stephen to death). They really wanted Jesus crucified because the Old Testament declared any one who hung from a tree to be "cursed"! They figured this would surely disqualify Him as the Messiah in the eyes of the people. Little did they know how He literally became the curse of sin for you, me, and for them!

3w ago01:08:31Tap to summarizeIn-depth commentary/study books to ACCOMPANY EVERY STUDY on our podcast are available through Amazon.com and scripturetruth.com This is the continuation of our study of the Lord's first "civil" trial, which was before Pontius Pilate (see Lesson 170a and our discussion of Pilate's conversation with the prosecutors of Jesus, the Jews). In this lesson, we learn why Pilate suspected the Jews' accusations against Jesus to be false (Luke 23:2). We discuss why Jesus answered Pilate's first question with a question of His own (John 18:33,34). We see WHO was really the one on trial, and it wasn't Jesus! We find out what the religious rulers said to Pilate that actually fulfilled the prophecy of Genesis 49:10, proving that Shiloh (Messiah) had come! We also learn of the "proof" Jesus gave Pilate that His Kingdom was "not of this world" and, thus, no immediate threat to political Rome. Then, too, we discuss Pilate's famous question (asked sarcastically and rhetorically, not expecting an answer), "What is truth?" Little did he know - or care to know - that Truth incarnate was standing before Him (John 14:6)!
