Let's Talk Scripture

After being handed over to the will of the Jewish leaders, Jesus is led out to be crucified. Being offered some type of analgesic, He refused and was hung to experience the full pain of crucifixion. He was mocked by passerby’s and the Jewish leaders. Finally, with a great cry He died. Supernatural events took place at the time of His death as many observed these events. Joseph of Arimathea obtained Jesus’s body for burial. The Jewish leaders, remembering that Jesus predicted His resurrection, requested from Pilate soldiers to prevent His disciples from stealing His body in the night and claiming that indeed Jesus had resurrected.

The next morning after illegal trial of Jesus, the Sanhedrin gathered to officially render judgment against Him. Judas was remorseful because of the outcome and went to return the money. The leaders rejected this gesture from Judas; and so, he threw the money in the temple and hung himself. When Jesus arrived before Pilate, the leaders brought many accusations against Him. Pilate was amused at how Jesus remained quiet throughout the barrage of accusations against Him. Knowing that the leaders brought Jesus because of envy, Pilate tried to have Jesus released. He was not successful in his efforts, so he had Jesus scourged and crucified. The Roman soldiers then took Jesus and mocked Him as the King of the Jews and afterwards led Him out to be crucified.

After three hours of intense prayer, Jesus woke His disciples, because Judas had come with a band of soldiers. A brief skirmish took place, but Jesus prevented any escalation and allowed Himself to be arrested. He is then led to the home of the high priest Caiaphas, where s late night (illegal) pre-trial is convened. Since Jesus refused to defend Himself, the high priest placed Him under oath and Jesus affirmed that He was indeed the Messiah and the Son of God. Because of His claim of divinity, they judged Him guilty of blasphemy and deserving of death. But watching from afar was Peter, who was accused of being with Jesus. Peter denied knowing Jesus three times and was shocked into remembrance of Jesus saying to him that he would do so when a rooster crowed.

After Jesus concluded His prophetic words about the Rapture and His Second Coming, He began to prepare for His final Passover, when He would be crucified. He reminded His disciples of this and was anointed by Mary in preparation for burial. After this, Judas went and betrayed Jesus to the religious leaders for thirty pieces of silver. Jesus acquired a place to celebrated the Passover and reveals that one of His disciples would betray Him. Judas then departs and goes to bring the chief priests. Jesus continued the Passover celebration with the remaining eleven, giving new meanings to specific parts of the observance. After the Passover, they went to Gethsemane, where Jesus was overcome with great spiritual anxiety. And asking His disciples to pray with Him, He also prayed. Finally, He yields to God’s will as Judas returns with soldiers.

Chapter 25 continues Jesus’s warning on being prepared (for the Rapture). He gives two parables to illustrate things concerning this event. First, in the parable of the virgins, the idea is simply to be prepared; but the idea of the talents is a warning to be faithful. Finally, at the end of the chapter, Jesus tells what will happen to the Gentile world (in judgment) when He returns. Those Gentiles who are saved will enter the Kingdom - their salvation evidenced by the way they treated the Jews during the Tribulation. The unsaved will be executed and sent to Hell. These too are evidenced by how they treated the Jews in the Tribulation.

After Jesus’s denunciation of the leaders and warning of Jerusalem’s destruction, His disciples seek to understand His prophetic words about the destruction of the temple and the future setting up of the kingdom. Jesus began by giving them a general overview of increasing despair as the world moved towards the time of the Tribulation and then provided them a sign to signify when the kingdom would be set up. However, He continued to teach and warn them to be prepared of another event that will take place without a sign - the Rapture, which will catch many unprepared. And thus, He emphasized the need to be prepared for this unknown, unannounced day of His coming.

Chapter 23 concludes this section of the “testing of the Lamb (Jesus)” with Him condemning the religious leaders for their pride and hypocrisy. Here Jesus pronounced seven woes upon the pharisees and scribes leading to His ultimate pronouncement of judgment. In His final words, Jesus laments over Jerusalem and declares that He will not return again until they accept Him as Messiah.

Chapter 22 continues with the overall theme of testing. But before, this Jesus continued His parabolic teaching to the leaders indicating how that their rejection of Him will lead to the kingdom being offered to others and their destruction. After this, differing groups came to Jesus to question Him to entrap or find reasons to condemn Him. The Pharisees and the Herodians tried to stir up trouble with the common people or the Romans. The Sadducees challenged Him concerning the resurrection of the dead. The lawyer questioned Him on the greatest law of the Mosaic Covenant. Answering all of their questions, He shut their mouths and proved His wisdom, knowledge and Messianic authority. The Lamb indeed was spotless. Jesus concluded with His own question about the true nature/Person of the Messiah to the which they were unable to answer.

Jesus now enters into Jerusalem, presenting Himself as the rightful King of the Jews. Fulfilling the prophecy of Zechariah, He enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey. The next day Jesus entered the temple and for the second time cleansed it. During these last days of Jesus before His crucifixion, He is tested by the religious leaders, fulfilling Moses instructions of testing the lamb (Exodus 12). The leaders question His authority and Jesus responds with His own challenges. Ultimately, He declares their rejection (barren fig tree) and destruction (parable of the landowner).

Continuing with the principle of “the last shall be first and the first, last”, Jesus continued teaching His disciples in a parable. The point He was making was that, He would appoint those to serve Him throughout the church age and would reward them just as He rewarded the twelve apostles. As He headed toward Jerusalem, again He reminded them of His upcoming death and resurrection. On their way, James and John request superior positions in the kingdom and Jesus corrects their understanding of what it means to be great in the kingdom. Greatness is attained by suffering. True greatness is to serve and not be served. The problem with the disciples concerning this is that they were blind. Hence, Matthew’s recording of Jesus healing of the two blind men.
