This document discusses how Christians today can reject Jesus in the same way he was rejected during crucifixion. It suggests that by preferring worldly things over spiritual things, trying to fit in with peers, avoiding responsibility, and pride, people today can effectively crucify Jesus again. However, it notes that by being crucified with Christ, openly confessing him, being united with him, and serving righteousness, readers can change their current approach to rejecting Jesus.
2. TREATMENT OF JESUS THEN AND
NOW
•Rejection then equals rejection now
•Thus, crucified “afresh” – Heb.6:6; 10:29
• We do in principle what they did in fact!
3. ARE WE LIKE THEM IN ANY WAY?
•Like Judas?
•Like the crowd?
•Like Pilate?
•Like Peter?
Preferring temporal treasure to
spiritual, inward treasure?
Fitting in with peers?
Try to wash hands of
responsibility?
Pride before a fall?
4. BUT, YOU CAN CHANGE THINGS NOW
• Crucified with Christ – Gal.2:20
• Unashamed to confess Jesus –Matt.10:32
• United with Christ -Rom.6:5f
• Serving righteousness
