DESCRIPTION
We all rationalize our sins in our own minds. Yet, if we had to face Jesus on the cross, we wouldn't be brave enough to ask him unspeakable things. Yet, His eyes are always watching us.

Unthinkable ThingsMatthew 27:32-36
Matthew 27:32-36
Refused to Deaden the Pain
• “The wine (& gall) was a narcotic designed to deaden the sensibilities of condemned men & alleviate some of the suffering.”
Jesus Came to Die• John 3:16, “For God so loved
the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
Jesus Came to Die•Romans 5:8, “But God
demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
The Eyes of the Suffering• Galatians 3:1, “O foolish Galatians!
Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified?”• They saw HIM & were still
disobedient!
Unthinkable Things1. Doctrine doesn’t matter. 2. Commitment is unimportant.3. Sin is not important.
Doctrine Doesn’t Matter• John 14:15, “If you love Me, keep
My commandments.”• Jesus as the Word? Doctrine
doesn’t matter?• If doctrine doesn’t matter, then
religious division is acceptable!
Commitment is Unimportant
• Luke 22:39-46• Hebrews 13:5, “I will never leave
you nor forsake you.”• Matthew 10:38, “And he who does
not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.”
Sin is Not Important• 1 Corinthians 15:3, “Christ died for our
sins.”• Matthew 26:28, “For this is My blood of
the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”
• Why would we honor Satan when sin put Jesus on the cross?
