Chris Wall • John 18-28:40
The suffering Jesus reveals several important truths we must not miss. It reveals the wickedness of our sin. It speaks to our inability to stand rightly before God in our own power. The mistreatment of Jesus reveals the graciousness of God as He was willing to take on Himself the punishment we deserve. In this passage, you also see an important human tendency shared by all people: this natural tendency to reject God and His plan for us. Our human nature is inherently sinful and because of this sin, we want to live in control of our own lives and our own destiny. In all honesty, the greatest threat and most significant problem for every person born into this world is lostness. The cruelty of the cross offers a vivid picture of the nastiness and devastation of sin. Every person born desperately needs to be changed from the outside in. This is a work of God, not a work of man which has been proclaimed to the world, even from the mouths of fools.
