The nation of Israel turned from her King, her husband, at precisely the moment He came to rescue her. She has chosen Barabbas over Jesus, the way of the sword over the way of reconciliation. She has accepted the innocent blood of Jesus on her own head, and on her children. If Israel is going to be saved, there will need to be a new and perfect Israel. Jesus Christ is that Israel of God. He is the...

Pentecost is a great reminder of many things – a new harvest, God's law being written on our hearts, and the fact that we are now altars of living sacrifices, wholly consecrated to the Lord. Pentecost is the day that the church is born and given power from above to complete her mission. The Holy Spirit has given gifts to His people for the building up of His church. The Spirit keeps us on mission,...

"Jesus Christ was crucified and died. His body was buried, and his soul descended to Sheol, not to languish but to liberate the resting saints, not to suffer but to subdue Satan, not to preach but to proclaim just victory over the spirits in prison. In his resurrection and ascension Jesus Christ carried his bride home to heaven., presenting himself as a sacrifice in the holy of holies not made wit...

The tragic case of Judas captures the psychology of unbelief and unanswered guilt. The guilt of our sin cannot be tamed. It cannot be forgotten. It cannot be pushed aside. It cannot be managed. It must be answered. The difference between Judas and Peter is not the fact of their guilt, but what they did with it. Judas turned in on himself in morbid introspection and found only layer after layer of...

Peter's pride and hubris have led him to the same place that all of us are capable of going to – self-sufficiency. Peter felt that he could do what the other disciples could not – persevere through difficulty on his own power. Prayerlessness, comparison, and pride left Peter unprepared and exposed to the slightest provocation, at which he instantly fell. Sin makes men weak even as it continually d...

After His arrest, Christ is getting pulled into a fake night-time show trial. The pattern follows redemptive history. Israel was created in the darkness of the first Passover, and on this night, the whole process is being reversed. Israel is undoing herself on this night, in a great anti-Passover. The religious leaders are turning Passover inside-out: in the first Passover/Exodus event, the mornin...

In the betrayal and arrest of Jesus, it appears as though evil is having its way. yet through the lies, deception, mockery, and ill-intentions we can see that Jesus was never overpowered, but willingly submitted Himself to the authorities in accordance with the Scriptures. He was betrayed by a close friend, treated as a vile criminal, falsely accused, and abandoned. Despite the devil's greatest at...

Christ suffered under the wrath of both God and man, was raised upon a cross, and died a sinners death though he was pure and innocent. His death is truly the only sacrifice that is acceptable to the God who either calls us justified or condemned. in light of this truth we must never run to any other than the one who has bled for us and died for us, his sacrifice must be our only hope.

In taking a crown of thorns, by following Jonah into the heart of the earth for three days and three nights, by having His heel bruised as He crushes the head of the serpent, Christ is finalizing the war his grandfather David started. In experiencing the trauma of having body and soul torn apart, Jesus assumes every covenant curse that God ever threatened against His people. Because his payment wa...

The religious leaders tried to pin Christ as a political threat, but instead of defending himself, in order that He may lay His life down for us, He went willingly. Christ suffering under Pontius Pilate was no accident of history; the plan of redemption has Christ coming at the appointed time, to fulfill all that the prophets had spoken. Don't think too little of the price that has been paid for o...

Christ continues to advance redemptive history as He transforms the Passover meal into the Lord's Supper, a sacrament which continues to connect His people to both the past and the future. Christ feeds His people to prepare them for the night of testing, that they may prevail not because of their ability but because of His provision. In the story God tells, the way to life is through death. The wa...

In the Passover meal, we see the building anticipation, the layering, and the rhyming of redemptive history. Passover reminded the people of God that they must be covered in the blood of the Lamb if they are to escape judgment, and that the old leaven must be purged so a fresh start can be made. Getting Israel out of Egypt proved to be much faster than getting Egypt out of Israel and so often this...

Like us, no one in today's passage is exempt from having an evaluation of the worth of Christ. The Jewish leaders not only saw him as unworthy of their respect but worthy to be crucified. Judas tried to put a dollar amount on his worth. The disciples, while meaning well, still hadn't truly caught on to His worthiness as the one to usher in the new covenant. It is only the woman who saw him worthy...
