Matthew 27

Judas’ Remorse and Suicide

If you have your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Matthew, chapter 27 as we continue our study through this great gospel. We’ve spent a number of weeks in Matthew 26, and if Matthew 26 is a prelude to the death of Christ, then Matthew 27 is the main movement for it. It records for us the final events immediately prior to the crucifixion, and then the crucifixion itself. Now it’s important as we come to our study today to remember last week what we looked at in Matthew 26, verses 69 through 75, and Peter’s three denials. And, in addition to that, the prediction of those denials by Jesus in Matthew 26, verses 30 through 35. Matthew has deliberately placed the denials of Peter side by side with the remorse of Judas. He wants to compare and to contrast Peter’s reaction and…

I Believe in Jesus Christ who suffered under Pontius…

The Apostles’ Creed“I believe in Jesus Christ who suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried”Matthew 27:1-2; 32-60 If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Matthew 27. We are continuing our study through the Apostles’ Creed and we are now squarely in the center of the portion of the Apostles’ Creed that deals with the person and work of Jesus Christ focusing especially on his sufferings and death, and so we read the account of this from Matthew 27. We’ll look at the first two verses and then we’ll skip down to the 22nd verse and read to verse 60, so let's hear again the story of our Lord's death for us from God's living, inspired and inerrant Word. “Now when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the…

Jesus Before Pilate

If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Matthew, chapter 27, as we continue our study through the gospel. You will remember that we have already said in our first study of Matthew 27, that this chapter contains the final events leading up to the crucifixion, and then the description of the crucifixion of our Lord, but as it does so, as it lays those events before our eyes, Matthew specifically wants us to understand the nature and the purpose of Christ’s death. He wants us to understand that Christ’s death is not accidental, and that Christ’s death is filled with redeeming significance. It is for the purpose of accomplishing the redemption of His people. The last time we were together we studied the first ten verses of Matthew, chapter 27, and there we saw that…

Jesus Mocked

Would you please turn with me in your Bibles to Matthew 27:27-32. We’ll continue our exposition of the gospel of Matthew, especially of this passage dealing with his passion. We Presbyterians don’t often focus upon the physical sufferings of Christ. There is a variety of reasons for that. But it’s important for us to see those sufferings as they are displayed very clearly here by Matthew. Matthew wants us to take account of the reality of those sufferings. There have always been those in…

Jesus Mocked (by Gentiles, Jews and Thieves)

If you have your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Matthew 27. We’re going to look at verses 33 through 44. We’ve come today to the very brink of the abyss. In the last couple of weeks we have seen Matthew describe the sufferings of the trial and of the treatment from the Roman soldiers on His way to the cross. And today we come to the crucifixion itself. Matthew has been telling us this for a variety of reasons. For one thing, he’s been telling us this because it happened. I want…

The Dereliction

If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Matthew, chapter 27. We have been working towards the crucifixion for some time now in our study of the gospel of Matthew. And all along during our studies in this particular chapter, Matthew, chapter 27, we have said that Matthew is recounting the death of Christ with a view to showing us the nature and the significance of Christ’s death. He’s wanting to show us what Christ endured for us, and then he’s wanting to show us what…

Christ Yields Up His Spirit

If you have Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Matthew, chapter 27. The last time we were together in the gospel of Matthew we were looking specifically at verses 44 through 49 where Matthew recounts for us Jesus’ cry of abandonment, His cry of dereliction, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” Matthew points us to two cries from the cross. That first cry in reference to David’s words in Psalm 22, and then this second cry. Matthew doesn’t even tell us what Jesus said. He…

Jesus’ Burial

If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Matthew, chapter 27. We’ve been studying in the gospel of Matthew for the last several times focusing on the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ and today we come to His burial. As we looked at Matthew 27, verses 33 through 44, we began that specific focus on the crucifixion, and we said that Matthew highlighted the nature and significance of Jesus’ death by pointing us to the characters around Jesus on the cross, and asking us to…
