<div class="SSN_title">"THE VERDICT"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: Those who read this story superficially say that Christ was on trial before Pilate, true in a sense but in ultimate things Pilate was on trial. Matthew shows us Christ as King, His birth fulfilling ancient prophesies. His herald - prophetic. His manifesto. Sermon on Mount; His program, healing of sick, restoration to divine order and intent. His conflict with false rulers. His method - the Cross. His triumph on first day of the week. His commission.</div>

|
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. THE QUESTION "WHAT SHALL I DO WITH THIS MAN JESUS WHO IS CALLED THE CHRIST?"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. It is a personal question, you must give the verdict.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. What can you do?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Crucify Him or Crown Him nothing else.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. No middle course for His claims supreme.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. He is all He claimed to be or greatest fraud.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Have you ever considered Words of Jesus as He stood in midst of blighted and broken humanity?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. "Come unto Me all ye that labor" frustrations of life.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">2. "If any man thirst let him come to Me," face of death.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">3. "I am the resurrection and the life."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">d. If His Words are true there is hope.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. If His Words are false then He ought to be crucified.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. What does it matter what you do?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Many who have not crowned Him seem to be doing very well. Prosperous, successful. What does it matter?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. It matters in your character influence, destiny.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Character.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. You cannot deny Christ without suffering in your character.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">2. You can not crown Him without enriching your life.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level6">a. Scores her today who could now stand and tell you the hell they lived in before coming to Christ and the change it has made in their lives.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level6">b. When you crown Him your life becomes marked by purity and love (Not in a moment the full fruit).</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">3. Crucify Him and gradually your standard of morality is lowered.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level6">a. You gradually descend so that the things you once hated you now accept and are doing.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level6">b. Look at alcoholic. Did He intend to become one? Of course not. He descended.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level6">c. That man gripped in devilish, hellish habit first felt shame of it, now no blush.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Influence.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. Crown Him "Ye are the salt of the earth."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level6">"Ye are the light of the world."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">2. Crucify Him and your character will degenerate and the very stories you tell will help damn men.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Destiny - this life is not all.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. This life is just a probation and God will respect your decisions.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">D. Who can decide for me?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. No one can decide for you, you must decide for yourself.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">E. When must I answer this?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. You are answering now. As you walk out the front door you will be crowning Him or crucifying Him.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">F. The time has now come for the verdict you are the judge, some day as the Supreme Judge will ratify your decision.</div>
