Divisions (run-on
sentence OK, direct verbiage from Scripture):
|
1
|
26:47-75
|
Arrest, Trial and
Peter’s Denial
|
|
Principle:
|
It’s easy to do the wrong thing when you have a bunch of
wrongdoers backing you up.
A kiss should not accompany betrayal.
The Lord guides us in His way, leading to fulfillment of
Scripture.
Jesus’ arrest came at the precise moment for Scripture
fulfillment – it takes time to organize bad company.
Even the most dedicated will flee in a moment of fear.
False witnesses must be sought to condemn Christ because a
true witness can only glorify Him!
Brokenness and remorse when you’ve done wrong is the first
step in restoration (or not, in Judas’ case).
|
|
|
2
|
27:1-10
|
Jesus to Pilate, Judas Returns the Silver
|
|
Principle:
|
Brokenness and remorse when you’ve done wrong can be the
final step toward damnation (as in Judas’ case), if you don’t seek
restoration from the Savior.
|
|
|
3
|
27:11-31
|
Jesus Before Pilate
|
|
Principle:
|
Sometimes silence is the most impressive sound.
When trying to thwart a bad situation, a ridiculous choice
can be a solution.
When tactics to control an outcome fail, the only thing to
do is wash your hands and let God’s will be done.
Sometimes God uses dreams to reveal truth.
Jesus suffered unspeakable things because of His extreme
love for us.
|
|
Subject Sentence (10-word sentence with proper structure):
|
Jesus is arrested, tried, denied, scourged, mocked and
sent for crucifixion.
|
Aim (Christian and Non-Christian):
|
TCMAT know the deep love that Jesus Christ, the Savior,
has for us, leading them to point where they face a decision serve Him or
deepen an existing relationship with Him.
