 ‘The Three Crosses of Calvary’

Listen Here: http://accm.ncf.ca/images/20.08.02.mp3

Luke 23:32-43

32 There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death. 33 And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left. 34 [a]Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”

And they divided His garments and cast lots. 35 And the people stood looking on. But even the rulers with them sneered, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God.”

36 The soldiers also mocked Him, coming and offering Him sour wine, 37 and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.”

38 And an inscription also was [b]written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew:

THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39 Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, [c]“If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”

40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.” 42 Then he said [d]to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”

43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

Sin Cleansed

 Reference passage:

Hebrews 10

Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All

10 For since the law has but ^va shadow ^wof the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, ^xit can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near. ² Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? ³ But ^yin these sacrifices ^zthere is a reminder of sins every year. ⁴ For ^ait is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

⁵ Consequently, ^bwhen Christ¹ came into the world, he said,

^c“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,

but a body have you prepared for me;

⁶  in burnt offerings and sin offerings

you have taken no pleasure.

⁷  Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,

as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’ ”

⁸ When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in ^csacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), ⁹ then he added, ^d“Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second. ¹⁰ And by that will ^ewe have been sanctified through the offering of ^fthe body of Jesus Christ ^gonce for all.

¹¹ And every priest stands ^hdaily at his service, ⁱoffering repeatedly the same sacrifices, ^jwhich can never take away sins. ¹² But when Christ² had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he ^ksat down at the right hand of God, ¹³ waiting from that time ^luntil his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. ¹⁴ For by a single offering ^mhe has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.

¹⁵ And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,

^{16  n}“This is the covenant that I will make with them

after those days, declares the Lord:

I will put my laws on their hearts,

and write them on their minds,”

¹⁷ then he adds,

^o“I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”

¹⁸ Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

The Full Assurance of Faith

^19 pTherefore, brothers,³ since we have confidence to enter ^qthe holy places by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by ^rthe new and living way that he opened for us through ^sthe curtain, that is, through his flesh, ²¹ and since we have ^ta great priest over the house of God, ²² let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts ^usprinkled clean ^vfrom an evil conscience and our bodies ^wwashed with pure water. ^23 xLet us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for ^yhe who promised is faithful. ²⁴ And ^zlet us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, ^25 anot neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and ^ball the more as you see ^cthe Day drawing near.

²⁶ For ^dif we go on sinning deliberately ^eafter receiving the knowledge of the truth, ^fthere no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, ^27 gbut a fearful expectation of judgment, and ^ha fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. ^28 iAnyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy ^jon the evidence of two or three witnesses. ²⁹ How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one ^kwho has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned ^lthe blood of the covenant ^mby which he was sanctified, and has ⁿoutraged the Spirit of grace? ³⁰ For we know him who said, ^o“Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, ^p“The Lord will judge his people.” ^31 qIt is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

³² But recall the former days when, after ^ryou were enlightened, you endured ^sa hard struggle with sufferings, ³³ sometimes being ^tpublicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. ³⁴ For ^uyou had compassion on those in prison, and ^vyou joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had ^wa better possession and an abiding one. ³⁵ Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has ^xa great reward. ³⁶ For ^yyou have need of endurance, so that ^zwhen you have done the will of God you may ^areceive what is promised. ³⁷ For,

^b“Yet a little while,

and ^cthe coming one will come and will not delay;

^{38  d}but my righteous one shall live by faith,

and if he shrinks back,

my soul has no pleasure in him.”

³⁹ But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.

Our Father, we thank you and praise you for Jesus and his shed blood at Calvary. We thank you that because his blood has been shed for us we are made clean and we are made fit for your service,  And we pray that we would serve joyfully as your people, knowing the great salvation that has been achieved for us; and we pray these things in Jesus' name. (Amen.)
