Things That Surround the Cross
Lu. 23:32-46 Text - vs. 40

INTRO: When we begin to look at the cross and all the things that were going on, we can find several things that are worth looking at. I want to look at the things that surround the cross today and examine them so we treat the cross correctly
  1. Things found at the foot of the Cross
    1. Our humanity and inadequacies
    2. Our sins and iniquities
    3. His Love inordinate affection and grace

  2. Things found in the shadow of the Cross
    1. Our works
    2. Our religions
    3. The Law

  3. Things found beside the Cross
    1. No one that could help Christ or take His place
    2. Onlookers and Seekers
    3. Two thieves
      1. One railed upon Him, rejected Him and refused Him
      2. The other recognized Him, received Him, and rejoiced with Him!


Which one will you be today?????
 
 

(Luke 23:40 KJV) But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
