Not An Object For Worship

  a lucky religious relic.

Not An Object For Worship

• Isa 4413-17 Another shapes wood, he extends a
  measuring line he outlines it with red chalk. He
  works it with planes, and outlines it with a
  compass, and makes it like the form of a man,
  like the beauty of man, so that it may sit in a
  house. 14 Surely he cuts cedars for himself, and
  takes a cypress or an oak, and raises it for
  himself among the trees of the forest. He plants
  a fir, and the rain makes it grow. 15 Then it
  becomes something for a man to burn, so he takes
  one of them and warms himself he also makes a
  fire to bake bread. He also makes a god and
  worships it he makes it a graven image, and
  falls down before it. 16 Half of it he burns in
  the fire over this half he eats meat as he
  roasts a roast, and is satisfied. He also warms
  himself and says, "Aha! I am warm, I have seen
  the fire." 17 But the rest of it he makes into a
  god, his graven image. He falls down before it
  and worships he also prays to it and says,
  "Deliver me, for thou art my god.

Cross Represents Death

• Cross was a place where criminals were put to
  death.
• Jesus was in the middle of two criminals (Luke
  2333).
• The most lowly way of being put to death.
• Very long and painful death.
• Usually suffocated.
• Bled to death.

12
Foreshadow Of The Crucifixion

• Fall of man and nakedness (Genesis 310-11, 21).
• God made them garments of fur to cover their
  shame, because of sin. Innocent blood to cover
  mans sins.
• Later on sacrifices instituted-more innocent
  blood for mans sins (Hebrews 51).

13
Foreshadow Of The Crucifixion

• Christ was the ultimate and perfect sacrifice,
  killed on the cross of criminals.
• Heb 923-28 Therefore it was necessary for the
  copies of the things in the heavens to be
  cleansed with these, but the heavenly things
  themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24
  For Christ did not enter a holy place made with
  hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into
  heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of
  God for us 25 nor was it that He should offer
  Himself often, as the high priest enters the holy
  place year by year with blood not his own.

14
Foreshadow Of The Crucifixion

• 26 Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer
  often since the foundation of the world but now
  once at the consummation of the ages He has been
  manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of
  Himself. 27 And inasmuch as it is appointed for
  men to die once and after this comes judgment, 28
  so Christ also, having been offered once to bear
  the sins of many, shall appear a second time for
  salvation without reference to sin, to those who
  eagerly await Him.

15
Foreshadow Of The Crucifixion

• Foreshadowed in the desert when Moses lifted up
  the bronze serpent (Numbers 218-9).
• Jesus spoke about this prophecy.
• John 314-15 "And as Moses lifted up the
  serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son
  of Man be lifted up 15 that whoever believes may
  in Him have eternal life.

16
Foreshadow Of The Crucifixion

• At the cross there must have been the death of an
  innocent man so that we could obtain salvation.
• Song 119 Rock Of Ages

17
Rock Of Ages

• 1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself
  in thee let the water and the blood, from thy
  wounded side which flowed, be of sin the double
  cure save from wrath and make me pure.

18
Rock Of Ages

• 2. Not the labors of my hands can fulfill thy
  law's commands could my zeal no respite know,
  could my tears forever flow, all for sin could
  not atone thou must save, and thou alone.

19
Rock Of Ages

• 3. Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to the
  cross I cling naked, come to thee for dress
  helpless, look to thee for grace foul, I to the
  fountain fly wash me, Savior, or I die.

20
Rock Of Ages

• 4. While I draw this fleeting breath, when mine
  eyes shall close in death, when I soar to worlds
  unknown, see thee on thy judgment throne, Rock of
  Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee.

  2653-56).

22
Night, With Ebon Pinion

• 1.Night, with ebon pinion, Brooded o'er the
  valeAll around was silent, Save the
  night-wind's wail,When Christ the man of
  sorrows,In tears and sweat as blood,Prostrate
  in the garden, Raised his voice to God.

23
Night, With Ebon Pinion

• 2.Smitten for offenses Which were not his
  own,He, for our transgressionsHad to weep
  alone,No friend with words to comfort,Nor hand
  to help was there,When the meek and lowlyHumbly
  bowed in pray'r.

24
Night, With Ebon Pinion

• 3.Abba, Father, Abba,If indeed it may,Let this
  cup of anguishPass from me, I prayYet, if it
  must be suffer'd,By me, Thine only Son,Abba,
  Father, Abba,Let Thy will be done.

25

Significance Of The Cross

• At the cross on is humbled, completely.
• Without humility one cannot obtain salvation.
  Godly sorrow.

  his sins and is willing to confess them so that
  the Master will forgive them.
• One recognizes all their wrongs and takes them to
  the feet of the Master for salvation.

grandeur,And hear the brook and feel the gentle
breeze. Then sings my soul, my Savior God to
TheeHow great Thou art, how great Thou
Art!Then sings my soul, my Savior God to
TheeHow great Thou art, how great Thou Art!
31
4 And when I think that God His, His Son not
sparing,Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it
in.That on that cross my burden gladly
bearing,He bled and died to take away my sin.
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to TheeHow
great Thou art, how great Thou Art!Then sings my
soul, my Savior God to TheeHow great Thou art,
how great Thou Art!
32
5 When Christ shall come with shout of
acclamationAnd take me home, what joy shall fill
my heart!Then I shall bow with humble
adoration,And there proclaim, my God, how great

TheeHow great Thou art, how great Thou Art!

Victory in Jesus229Words and Music by Eugene.
M. Bartlett I heard an old, old story, How a
Saviour came from glory,How He gave His life on
Calvary To save a wretch like meI heard about
His groaning, Of His precious blood's
atoning,Then I repented of my sins And won the
victory.
35
O victory in Jesus, My Saviour, forever, He
sought me and bought me With His redeeming blood
He loved me ere I knew Him And all my love is
due Him, He plunged me to victory, Beneath the
cleansing flood.
36
I heard about His healing, Of His cleansing pow'r
revealing,How He made the lame to walk again And
caused the blind to seeAnd then I cried "Dear
Jesus, Come and heal my broken spirit,"And
somehow Jesus came and bro't To me the victory.
37
O victory in Jesus, My Saviour, forever, He
sought me and bought me With His redeeming blood
He loved me ere I knew Him And all my love is
due Him, He plunged me to victory, Beneath the
cleansing flood.
38
I heard about a mansion He has built for me in
glory,And I heard about the streets of gold
Beyond the crystal seaAbout the angels singing,
And the old, redemption story,And some sweet day
I'll sing up there The song of victory.O
victory in Jesus, My Saviour, forever, He sought
me and bought me With His redeeming blood He
loved me ere I knew Him And all my love is due
Him, He plunged me to victory, Beneath the
cleansing flood.
39
At The Cross ALL Sins Are Forgiven

• There is not one sin that cannot be forgiven by
  God.
• Lying, cheating, abortion, murder, drunkenness,
  etc.
• 1 Cor 68-11 Or do you not know that the
  unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
  Do not be deceived neither fornicators, nor
  idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor
  homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous,
  nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall
  inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some
  of you but you were washed, but you were
  sanctified, but you were justified in the name of
  the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our
  God.

Conclusion

• My friend, dont be arrogant to think that there
  is no salvation and forgiveness for you. There
  is, it is just a matter of you coming to the
  cross!
