The Purpose of Crucifixion
Teaching:
In the New Testament times, the crucifixion is a form of executing criminals and enemies of the state.
Taking up our cross daily means dying to ourselves everyday.
Being a disciple is a daily sacrifice for Jesus.
Application:
Advance the Redeemer’s Movement.
Execute ourselves by dying daily.
Refocus on the Great Commission.
Discussion:
On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the highest, how focused are you on the Great Commission of Jesus? Explain your answer.
Prayer:
Lord, my life is too comfortable to be called Your disciple. Life is not about health, wealth, and comfort. So please grant me the courage to sacrifice my comfort daily, die to myself everyday, and serve You at all times. Help me to refocus. Let Your Great Commission be my priority. Use my life to advance the gospel. Let the people around me come to know You and serve You. Use me, Lord, to spread the good news of redemption. I pray this in Jesus’ name, amen!
