Main Point: By means of three principles Jesus teaches and demonstrates that servanthood is essential to Christianity.

Main Point: Jesus commands the universal mission of the Church: make disciples of all nations.

Main Point: All believers are adopted into the family of God and called to walk as His children in community with one another.

Main Point: Our mission, to know Christ and make Him known, is a community project.

Main Point: The resurrection of Jesus is explained through different witnesses so that you may believe and be a faithful witness for Christ.

Main point: Jesus willingly receives the full exercise of the Father’s wrath against the sins of His people so that we can be reconciled to God and live for His glory.

Main point: At Jesus’ Roman trial before Pontius Pilate, Jesus again acknowledges that He is indeed the Messiah, the King of the Jews. Ironically, the guilty insurrectionist Barabbas is released by Pilate in the Passover clemency, while the righteous and innocent Son of God is delivered over to crucifixion. Yet, this is all part of God’s purpose and plan to accomplish His promised salvation.

Main point: Peter’s denial of Christ serves as a sobering reminder of the grievous consequences of self-confidence in spite of the best intentions. On the other hand, it is also an encouragement regarding the forgiveness of God.

Main point: At His unjust trial, Jesus forces the hand of the high priest and the Sanhedrin by admitting He is the Messiah and declaring He will return to judge with perfect justice.

Main point: Even at His betrayal and arrest, Jesus follows God’s sovereign plan and acknowledges that the events are in fulfillment of Scripture. Jesus’ faithfulness stands in contrast to the other people and groups in the passage.
