Matthew 27:32-61

Title: The Crucifixion of Jesus
Scripture: Matthew 27:32-61
Speaker: Anthony Emerson, AnthonyE@ChristCommunityKC.org

>> In the midst of the worst, the king yet reigns.

>> In the midst of the worst weakness, the king yet reigns.

“Adequate exhalation required lifting the body by pushing up on the feet and by flexing the elbows… However, this maneuver would place the entire weight of the body on the tarsals and would produce searing pain. Furthermore, flexing of the elbows would cause rotation of the wrists about the iron nails and cause fiery pain along the damaged median nerves… As a result, each respiratory effort would become agonizing and tiring and lead eventually to asphyxia.” - William Edwards

Psalm 69:21

Psalm 22:18

“The attention is focused not on Jesus’ sufferings on the cross, which, however, cannot be far from the readers’ minds, but upon the activity of the soldiers at the foot of the cross who unknowingly fulfill what the scriptures anticipated.” - Donald Hagner

>> In the midst of the worst weakness, the king yet reigns.
>> In the midst of the worst shame, the king yet reigns.
>> In the midst of the worst death, the king yet reigns.

“On the cross Jesus lost all the good that he had before; all sense of his Father’s presence and love, all sense of physical, mental, and spiritual well being, all enjoyment of God and of created things, all ease and solace of friendship, were taken from him, and in their place was nothing but loneliness, pain, a killing sense of human malice and callousness, and a horror of great spiritual darkness.”
