His own blood, if/when he/we did not live blamelessly

Gen 15 and 17

Calvary

God, in Jesus, died on Calvary for all of us

The sinless Son of God

The perfect sacrifice

Cup

We choose to accept or not

Significance

Joseph of Arimathea’s tomb A gift, not a loan Year’s wages

9th hour, 3 pm Temple sacrifice of lamb

Stone So we could see in, not so Jesus could

walk out

Important?

Jesus’ incarnation was important, but not enough

Jesus’ death was important and necessary, but not enough

Everything hinges on His RESURRECTION!

Empty Tomb

The empty tomb was important, but not enough

Seeing a living risen Savior, that was IMPORTANT That was the final proof HE LIVES!

Fulfilled prophecies from 100s of years before

Time of Jesus’ death, 3 pm

Also the year Jesus died Saturday, the Sabbath, was the Feast of

Unleavened Bread Sunday was the Feast of Firstfruits

Joseph’s Tomb

It was new/unused (Lk 23:53)

Worth a year’s wages

Pharisaic law would have prohibited Joseph from using it for his own family now It was intended for Joseph’s family A HUGE sacrifice

Temple Curtain

Day of Atonement High Priest went behind the curtain (Lev

16:29-34 & Heb 9:7)

Jesus’ blood made the curtain, the High Priest, and the Holy of Holies moot

Now every believer has direct access to God
