1. What Jesus Endured: a. He was arrested at night. b. He was tried before the Sanhedrin. He was falsely accused. He was blindfolded. He was beaten so badly, His face was not recognizable. Isaiah 52:14 c. He was tried before the Roman Authorities. He was stripped and scourged with a Flagrum, Cat of Nine Tails. He was beaten to the point of death. Isaiah 50:6 He was forced to wear a royal robe. He was forced to wear a crown of thorns. He was so weak He couldn’t carry His cross. Matthew 27:29-32 d. He was condemned to death by crucifixion. He wrists were nailed to the cross, severing the Median Nerve. His feet were nailed to the cross. His shoulders and elbows were dislocated when the cross was dropped into the hole. 2. What Jesus declared: a. It is finished! The penalty of death was satisfied. Romans 6:23 The power of sin and death was conquered. b. Death is a problem for humanity. Death makes us face our mortality. Death makes us thing about our life. Martin Luther, “ we should live with the day of our death constantly before our eyes. That way we won’t be surprised when the day finally comes.” c. What does the Bible say about death? Luke 24:5-6 Jesus destroyed the power of death by delivering us from the fear of death.
