LUKE 20:21-26

I. THEY
COULD NOT…
1. Kill Him
[Luke 4:28-30, 13:33, Mt. 26:1-5]
- Lk. 4:28-30
And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with
wrath, And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow
of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down
headlong. But he passing through the midst of them went his way,
-Lk. 13:33 Nevertheless
I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that
a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
- Mt. 26:1-5
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto
his disciples, Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and
the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. Then assembled together the chief
priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the
high priest, who was called Caiaphas, And consulted that they might take Jesus
by subtlety, and kill him. But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be
an uproar among the people.
2. Convince
Him [John 8:46]
Which of you
convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
3. Keep Him
[Mt. 27:62-66, 28:1-6]
- Now the
next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and
Pharisees came together unto Pilate, Saying, Sir, we remember that that
deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. Command
therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his
disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is
risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. Pilate
said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. So
they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
-In the end
of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary
Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a
great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and
rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like
lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did
shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women,
Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not
here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
II. THEY
CAN NOT…
1. Stop His Word [Is. 55:11, John 7:46]
- So shall
my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void,
but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing
whereto I sent it.
- The
officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
2. Stop His
Work [Jn. 10:17-18, Rev. 3:8]
- Therefore
doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it
down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my
Father.
- behold, I
have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it:
3. Stop
His Way [Jn. 14:6, Rm. 10:13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the
Lord shall be saved.
III. THEY
WILL NOT…
1. Prevent
His Return [Jn. 14:3, Rev. 1:7, 19:11-21]
- And if I
go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself;
that where I am, there ye may be also.
- Behold, he
cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced
him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
2. Prevent
His Judgment [Rev. 20:1-14]
3. Prevent
His Honor [Phil. 2:9-11]
Wherefore
God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every
name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and
things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
