Summary
The title of this fifth lesson of our "It is Finished" series concerning Christ's cross-work is "Hate: A Provoking Crowd". As Satan was in the very process of bruising the Saviour's heel (Genesis 3:15), he was also seeing to it that representatives of each First Century "people group" voiced hatred and scorn at his age-old enemy, God's Son (the One Who cast him like lightning from Heaven). The events of this lesson occurred during the Lord's first three hours on the cross, before it became eerily dark. The outline for this study is four-fold: (1) The Scoffer Passing By the Saviour, (2) The Sanhedrin Calling Down the Saviour, (3) The Soldiers Mocking Under the Saviour, and (4) The Sinners Hanging Next to the Saviour. Please understand this truth: Many people erroneously think the crucifixion manifested the Lord's weakness. The total opposite is true! Christ crucified is the power of God (II Corinthians 13:4)! This lesson in written form (with Homework Questions) is found in "The Caldwell Commentaries" - Life of Christ Vol. 8 (available through www.scripturetruth.com).
