R712 Why Jesus Was Crucified, Pt.4

God has an encouraging word for you and me today. The Bible-based teaching of Dr. Don Wilton as we conclude this Hebrew series.

Today we wrap up this message called why Jesus was crucified studying in the book of Hebrews is a little bit more for Hebrews and this puts a bow on the concept that you and I can live out our lives today in the resurrection of Christ.

Because Jesus was crucified as we discover more know that were available for you both on the phone and 866-899-WORD were having friends called to pray with us to connect with resources like the wonderful be salt and light message from Dr. Wilson in the book called take a look at those on our website as well. DW online.org that's CDW online.org or 866899673 now Dr. Don Wilton and open them to Hebrews chapter 10 lady sat next to me and I looked at her and she looked at me.

We were talking and she said to me why would you want to become a Christian.

I have given a lot of boxes to that question. I can tell you that I'm sure that most of the aunts is that you and I give all good, but on this particular day as we taxied into the airport terminal. I looked at her and I said something that had a profound effect on my own heart. I said to her I'm a Christian because Jesus died for me. I had no idea what was to come in the series. We were preaching we weren't quite great. We all but this is the fourth Sunday we've been trying to aunts the question why did Jesus die every day that I may not beloved community and here in our church. I look into the faces of men and women who identify with sacrificial myth.

We have a rich history in America, and even here in our own congregation over the decades the numbers of people who have laid down their lives. We honor our police officers very much indeed, members about Sheriff's Department those you serve in our Armed Forces who are willing to lay their lives down. We have days that commemorate their sacrifice.

We don't say nearly enough. We done boot nearly enough monuments is so much more that we could do because we honor them. How much more so all we tossed the question concerning the Lord Jesus. Why was he crucified, I want to read it to you again found in Hebrews chapter 10 the Bible says that the Lord is only a shadow of the good things that are coming. Not the realities them soon. For this reason, it can never by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to God and worship if it could, with a nod of stock being offered for the worshipers would've been cranes once for Rollingwood no longer felt guilty for their sins though sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins because it is impossible the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Therefore when Christ came into the world, he said, sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but rather a body you prepared for me with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased.

Then Jesus said, there I am as it has been written about me by the prophets in Isaiah.

For example, in the scroll. I have come to do your will of God.

First, he said, sacrifices and offerings burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not design the way you pleased with them.

Although the law required them to be my then Jesus said, here I am, I have come to do your will. I've come to set aside the first in order to establish the second. And by that that is God's perfect will lead that is people like me like Don Wilton. We have been made holy through the sacrifice, the body of the Lord Jesus Christ once for rule often whole day off today. Every priest stands and performs his religious duties again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when this priest, the Lord Jesus Christ had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God.

Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy by the Holy Spirit also testifies about this. First he says this is the carbon and I will make with them off to that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their mind.

Then he and they assume he's talking about someone like me. By the way your sins Don Wilton sins of all people, their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more where these are being forgiven. There is no longer any sacrifice for sin by the Lord.

Write his word upon our hearts why Jesus was crucified. Number one he was crucified in order to make people like Don Wilton perfect to make us perfect. As difficult as that may seem.

We all made perfect, not because of ourselves, but because of the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus number two. Jesus was crucified in order to remove the burden of our sin, our sin is taken in cost as far as the east is from the waist remembered no more.

Number three. This is where we are number three Jesus Christ was crucified in order to give his body. Now we understand the sacrifice of the body.

We talked about so many people over the years and centuries have given their bodies for great and just courses have died in the line of battle and in the field of duty and service. Why was it necessary, the Lord Jesus Christ, the spotless Lamb of God, to give his body. I mean, this is mentioned several times in verse five of chapter 10, sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body and go right down into verse 10 it says that by that will we be made holy through the sacrifice of the body of the Lord Jesus Christ good there have been an alternative, could Jesus have died in some ways so as not to inflict punishment on the human side of his deity that he have to subject himself the plane that he was subjected to in his body while he looked at a number of reasons why it was necessary for him to give his body. Number one because he's body bore brief provides the pillars the support system number two because he's body carried all sorrows literally fix my sorrows up my human condition, and because of the body of Jesus Christ.

I have full confidence that my sorrow was carried through the fact that he gave his body to be sacrifice number three and this is where we were. He gave his body because he's body was pierced for our sin. Literally that's what happened. What happened was that God allow the impenetrable to become impenetrable people say all the time why why would God allow Jesus Christ to give his body and to be pierced. I want to tell you why my frame because God of all people is holy and righteous. He is flexible he is unapproachable he is magnificent he is above all and through all and God because of his love and because of these messy he knew that no man can look upon his face and live.

This is the creator of code 100,000 hills and the world. And every time it is this God by his divine will die Jesus Christ… Across the reason body and by virtue of his giving his body made an announcement.

He said types may now titrate any body parts make you come into my presence. And you can type for me because my son was pierced for your sin was Jesus Christ. Why was Jesus crucified to give his body.

Number four because he's body was crushed for our iniquity that would crushed.

According to the prophet mean several things. It means to squeeze with the force that destroys it means to pound into small particles when Jesus body was crushed for our iniquities.

What it means. It means that it was actually oppressed and suppressed it means to humiliate it means when you crush something, it means that you. Or you obliterate. Why did Jesus give his body. Why was he crucified in order to be screeds to be pounded to be optimally suppressed to be humiliated related why because that was the need that one based upon the sin of people like Don Wilton. Why was Jesus crucified to give his body for with his body. He bore our grief and carried our sorrows with these body he was pierced for our sin, he was crushed for our iniquity number five because he's body was chasing for our well-being that were Dick Chase and literally means to have infliction metered out upon it means that it had suffered affliction. The were Dick Chase and literally means to suffer affliction in order to produce a beta product. Most of you know that I love to grill out and barbecuing things. I love burning chicken and the several years ago the deacons in our church for Christmas gave me a grill and that's one of my favorite things on my Dick I love I just like being outside man and all that stuff and get out there and I don't know what I'm doing but it taste good.

There Is Interesting He's Body Was Scourged. He Took a Beating. It Means He Was Whipped. It Means It Was Eight, He Was Means It Was Inflicted upon Him, Why Was Jesus Crucified.

Three Reasons We Brought Number One to Make Us Perfect Number Two to Remove the Burden of Our Sin Number Three to Give His Body Number Four to Do the Will of God to Do the Will of God. Now Folks Listen to This Many Times in Verse Seven Verse Nine Firsthand Look at Verse Nine He Said Here I Am.

I've Come to Do Your Will. God's Will Was the Issue at Stake That We Have a Problem with That Is Human Beings Don't. Folks, Let Me Just Tell You Something. Can We Just Get down to the Nitty-Gritty Ground-Level Care. Why Was Jesus Crucified Because It Was the Will Any Questions This Morning Because God Said so Forgive the Interruption Will Be Back with the Rest of Today's Message Dr. Don Wilton in Just a Moment, but in That Last Phrase of Dr. Don's Just the Most Important One Because God Said so Because Dr. Don Said so or Any of Us, of The Encouraging Word, but Because God Said so.

He didn't consult all imposters and find out what is appropriate or whether it was comfortable. This was the will of God.

Why was Jesus crucified to do the will of God. This was the bond of the father.

This was the example of the sun and this is the call of the disciple.

Now folks, we call ourselves the disciple making church. What is that mean it means that our primary responsibility as Christian men and women and is God's church sentencing. One thing and that is to do the will of God.

If God says it, we who live in the back and cried. Jesus Christ. Obedience was the hallmark of everything that he did. It was the will of God. God spoke, Jesus did. Number five.

Why was Jesus crucified me run them through again number one make us perfect number to remove the burden of sin number three to give his body number four to do the will of God number five to establish the only way to God.

That's what Gerstein tells us it is by this means that we are made holy walk means through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. That's what it means.

What is that mean to establish the only way to God. This is the means by which number one man is eternally forgiven what he told us in verse 17 that these their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more. Number two. It is the means by which man is eternally sanctified. We are told in verse 10 that we are set apart to become holy back and read in first Thessalonians chapter 4 verse three through eight. The holiness of man by virtue of the sacrifice of the son number three. It is the means by which man is celebration you see Jesus, my friend died upon the cross in order to establish the only way to God, and it carries with it through very important principles. It is the means by which man is positionally guaranteed his place with God. I am positionally because of the imputed righteousness of God.

I am guaranteed my place in the presence of God. But it goes further than that. It goes to the second principle. It is the means by which man is practically changed because of his relationship with God.

Folks watch this. The only way that salvation is offered is through Jesus Christ. What happens when I accept Jesus Christ as my Savior positionally. I'm guaranteed my place alongside God.

Practically changed as a man because of my relationship with God lady came to me several months ago. The husband gave his life to Jesus she said to me, pasta. She said I cannot explain you. I'm so happy and so overjoyed that my husband is heading.

Sins forgiven and that and that he's going to happen one day in our family is complete. I said you got back to that, haven't you there something else you want to tell me she said oh no it's good.

She said I know that that's important, she said, but what throws me more than ever, is that my husband is a changed man is different.

He smiles, he sings is different with the children different with me different in the home is a changed man. Why was Jesus crucified. Number one to make us perfect number two to remove the burden of sin number three to give his body number four to do God's will. Number five to establish the only way to God and number six Jesus Christ was crucified in order to sit down at the right hand of God. You see friends.

The Bible tells us here in verse 12 and 13. Look at it, but when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sin, he sat down at the right hand of God. That's what Hebrews is all about.

It establishes the superiority of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It establishes who Jesus Christ is, because of his sacrifice considerate in the Old Testament there were many priests. The New Testament with Jesus.

There is but one the old way of doing things, sacrifices were made repeatedly. Now that Jesus has come is only one sacrifice once for all. The only way of doing it the old priest would stand up and do everything standing up then you way because of the sacrifice of Jesus, we witnessed Jesus Christ sitting down at the right hand of God the father.

So what is it why was Jesus crucified. Why did he sit down well number one.

It was a sign of honor number two was a sign of authority. Number three.

It was a sign of risk.

His work was done price and been playing timing was perfect number. It was a sign of intercession gun read Romans chapter 8 verse 34 feline. It was a sign of intercession number five. It was a sign of Majesty when Jesus sat down was God's greatest declaration concerning the majesty of the son, Jesus Christ. How did this happen.

Well we know the story don't his preexistence establish these royalty Jesus birth in the manger announced his royalty.

Jesus day distinguished his royalty. Jesus resurrection confirmed his reprieve royalty Jesus ascension magnified his royalty and Jesus seat at the right hand of God declared his royalty. God made an announcement when Jesus sat down. He said this one was seated at my right hand is the King of Kings and he's the Lord of lords.

God made a declaration. Jesus Christ had come full circle because he was obedient, even unto his death upon the cross several weeks ago, I sat next to a lady on an airplane and off to some discussion this very fine lady said to me why would you want to be a Christian and I looked at her and I said because Jesus died for me to see my friend if Jesus had not been crucified, I could never have been made perfect. If Jesus had not been crucified, I could never have the burden of my sin. Remove if Jesus Christ had not been crucified. I would've never had the benefits that I have received because he gave his body. If Jesus Christ had not been crucified, I could never have been accepted in the presence of God in accordance with his will. Jesus Christ had not been crucified. The only white God, having made, and if Jesus Christ did not been crucified, he could not sat down right hand of the father lady sat next to me on an airplane a couple weeks ago, she turned to me and she said so you Christian and I turned to her as we rolled into their concourse and are seated because Jesus died.
