6. Jesus healed us with His __________________ (blue wounds of scourging/whipping)
7. Jesus had_____ ____________ ____ ____ ____ laid upon Him (full weight of sins/guilt of mankind)
II. We MUST use the most powerful O.T. Salvation Scripture available: (Isaiah 53:7, 8; Acts 8:32, 33)
(Preach unto them Jesus)
1. Emphasis must be on Jesus the One ’led as a ______________’ (The Lamb of God [Propitiation]
2. Emphasis must be on Jesus the Lamb led to the ’_______________ ’ (His Sacrifice for Sin’s Payment)
3. Emphasis must be on Jesus ___________________ as demonstration of (His Great Love for You/Us)
4. Emphasis must be on Jesus ______ _____________ Son of God (Only Jesus could pay penalty/price)
III. We MUST ’paint’ a graphic portrait on the heart of the Jewish unbeliever of the Cross and Its Truth (I Corinthians 1:18)
(Preach unto them Jesus)
1. For it is ________________ toward God
2. And ___________ toward Jesus Christ alone that saves! (Acts 20:21)
3. The ’graphic’ portrait of the Cross provides the Object of _________ which clearly displays the goodness of God
thereby leading the lost soul to __________________ (Romans 2:4)
IV. We MUST first be revived to experience the power of the Cross before we can paint this portrait of salvation for others!
1. We MUST envision this same ’graphic’ portrait/portrayal of the Cross applying it to our own hearts bringing into focus
’The Love’ by the Holy Spirit causing repentance which revives us supplying the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
2. When we see Jesus high and lifted up, when we spend time at the foot of the Cross, we recognize afresh His great
love that brought us ’so great salvation’ and the joy of our salvation is once again present in our hearts.
3. It is ’The Abiding Love of Jesus’ which provides us ’The Joy of Jesus’ and ’The Peace of Jesus’ follows! (John 15, 16)
This Love, Joy, Peace Sequence=Fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22)
