Scripture: Luke 23
Jesus did not deserve the Cross
Unjust trial, false accusations
Golgotha – the place of the skull
Not a surprise to Jesus or the Father
Isaiah 53:3-5
“Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us too!”
“Don’t you fear God?”
“We’re guilty but this man does not deserve to die with us”
Grace is received by humble faith
By faith, he simply and humbly asks to be remembered in heaven.
The scandal of grace – salvation is not for the deserving
Salvation is a gift from God
Have you humbly come to Jesus?
Never too late
We usually compare ourselves to others
The Cross silences every excuse
Salvation is about what Jesus already did – not what you can’t
Jesus waits for you to come
Are you trying to work for His approval?
