Lesson Scripture: Luke 23:32-47
Bible Truth: We must take up our cross and follow Jesus.
Timeline: Our present calendar and dating system is centered around the coming of Christ. The purpose of the BC / AD dating system was to make the birth of Jesus Christ the dividing point of world history. A.D. stands for Anno Domino which is Latin for “In the year of our Lord“. So “0 A.D.” is supposed to be the year of Jesus’ birth. Therefore, if Jesus lived to be 33, he died around 33 A.D. Our lesson takes place around 30 A.D. (give or take a few years.) You can find representation of this time in the “Jesus’ Life and Ministry” section.
Need to know notes: The four Gospels together give the full spectrum of the life and times of Jesus on earth. Take time study what each gospel contributes to our knowledge of Him. After Jesus raises Lazarus from death, the people’s faith in Him increases and His fame spreads (John 11:45 – 12:13). The chief priest and Pharisees now fear that “all men” will believe in Him, so they conspire to kill Him (John 11:47-53) (Matthew 26:3-5) (Mark 14:1-2) (Luke 22:1-2).
Our Lesson: ”Jesus Crucified”
Commentator: Deac. William Goss
Jesus was on a mission and that mission was to die upon the cross for the sins of all man kind. It was a mission he was sent to do and no one else could do it, no one else was pure enough. Jesus at any point could have saved himself or God could have saved him, but once again he was on a mission. after all the mocking (Luke 23:36&37) and torture Jesus still acomplished his mission, THANK YOU JESUS. I say thank you Jesus because we owe all thanks to him, its because of him one day we will have enternal life with no pain no sickness no bills and no worries, THANK YOU JESUS
