He Went a Little Further

Key verse: Matthew 26:39.

1)    To Gethsemane’s Torment – The Cup of Suffering. (Only 3 of the 12 near, Peter, James and John)

2)    To Gabbatha’s Trial – The Crown of Thorns. (Only 2 of the 12 were near, Peter and John)

3)    To Golgotha’s Torture – The Cross of Shame. (Only one of the twelve was near, John)

4)    To the Grave – To conquer sin, death, the Devil and Hell. (Only He could do this).

5)    To Glory – To sit at the right hand of His Father as it was promised and written. (His reward).

Our Lord went farther than anyone else could go –     He became the Sin Offering.
