We’ve been studying the book of Luke and last week we considered why Jesus was crucified. Everyone involved in the crucifixion said with their own mouths that Jesus was an innocent man. So, why did they crucify Him? Luke made it clear he was crucified in fulfillment of the Scriptures.
The Old Testament Scriptures prophesied many things about the Messiah - including specifically that the Messiah would be crucified and resurrected. Jesus’ life, death and resurrection fulfilled these Scriptures. But why? We saw why last week. God punished the innocent Messiah so that the guilty - Barabbas could be set free! That’s me! That’s all of us who put our faith in Jesus Christ!
