Keep the fire burning
because the hour is near…
Matthew
27 :27 -54
Intro
The Crucifixion’s commemoration spans over
20000 years.
The Intensity & passion of the
Narrative can be lost if it’s head knowledge only.
The death & resurrection of Jesus becomes
alive and intense as your relationship
with Him develops-heart knowledge.
In the Parable of 10 Virgins/Watchmen,
Jesus laid emphasis on remaining watchful & prayerful.
Guard against making the Crucifixion &
Resurrection season-Tradition; will lead to complacency.
Jesus died to pay the ultimate price for
our redemption.
He is returning again for a spotless Bride…soon
He is the Son of God as attested by the
significant events that happened during His crucifixion:
1. The 3 hour darkness over
the land ( Habbakuk 1:13)
·
-God turned His face on Jesus
because of the sin that He embodied
·
Change in the pattern of
creation
·
Life without God would mean
total darkness
2. The temple curtain tore in
2 from top to bottom (Hebrews 6:19-20)
·
Free access
·
Curtain was a barrier 60 feet
in height;30 feet in width;4 inches thick
·
It served for humanity’s
protection (so that people do not enter it carelessly or without reverence)
3. The earth shook and the
rocks split (Psalm 148:3-5)
·
Creation felt the pain of its
Creator
·
Nature recognized Jesus
·
Humanity did not recognize Him
and they still don’t
4. The tombs broke open &
many holy people were raised to life (Hebrews 12:1)
·
Great cloud of witnesses
watching us
Conclusion
The Centurion and those who guarded Jesus
missed an opportunity to commit their lives to Jesus.
They realized too late Who He was.
The 5 foolish virgins/bridal watchmen
missed out on the Feast too.
Don’t YOU miss out too
