“The King on the Cross” Mount Olive Lutheran Church Sermon Wednesday March 13th 2024 - Matthew 27:35–44
Lenten Exchange preacher Pastor Ted Giese from Mount Olive, Regina, Saskatchewan.
Matthew 27:35–44
And when they had crucified [Jesus], they divided His garments among them by casting lots. Then they sat down and kept watch over Him there. And over His head they put the charge against Him, which read, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.” Then two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left. And those who passed by derided Him, wagging their heads and saying, “You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked Him, saying, “He saved others; He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel; let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him. He trusts in God; let God deliver Him now, if He desires Him. For He said, ‘I Am the Son of God.’” And the robbers who were crucified with Him also reviled Him in the same way.
Here Pastor Ted Giese addresses the topic of the deceptive nature of looks verses reality while considering what makes a king a man after God’s own heart. And what makes Jesus the true King of kings.
