IT WASN’T THE NAILS

MATTHEW 27:39-43



Pastor Rick Jackson [adapted from a message by Lee Roberson]



I. IT WASN’T THE NAILS THAT HELD HIM TO THE CROSS



1. He Had the Authority [Mt. 26:53]



2. He Had the Power [John 10:18]



3. He Had the Purpose [Lk. 19:10, Is. 53:5-6, Titus 2:14, 1 Pet. 2:24]



II. IT WAS SUBMISSION TO THE WILL OF THE FATHER THAT HELD HIM TO THE CROSS



1. Because No-one Else Could or Would [John 8:28-29, 18:11; Mt. 16:15ff]



2. Because Nothing Else Would Secure the Deliverance [Galatians 1:3-4]



3. Because Nothing Else Would Satisfy the Debt [Heb. 10:1-10]



III. IT WAS THE LOVE OF CHRIST THAT HELD HIM TO THE CROSS [Jn. 15:13, 1 Jn. 3:16]



1. His love Is Unusual [Rm. 5:6-8]



2. His Love Is Unending [Jn. 13:1, Heb. 7:24-28]



3. His Love Is Unselfish [Gal.2:20]
