Series: The Easter Experience...
Scripture: John 19:23-24, Matthew 27:35-36...
Speaker: Jeff Swain...
Summary: During The Easter Experience, we will be looking at the events leading up to the resurrection of Jesus Christ through the eyes of various witnesses. Like us, each one of these witnesses had to determine for themselves what they were going to do with Jesus and how they were going to respond to his actions, attitudes, and teachings. But more importantly, as we work our way through The Easter Experience, we will be challenged to answer those questions for ourselves and determine “What Will We Do with Jesus?” With this specific sermon, we will be focusing on the fact that the soldiers' perspective of the crucifixion was affected by 1. Familiarity – They Had Seen All Of This Before. 2. Prejudice – They Were Turned Off By God’s People. 3. Distractions – They Were Focused On Other Things.
