SERMON SEEDS I1 FOR 3/21/05
Posted by: jpeters <jpeters@...>
SERMON SEEDS FOR MARCH 21, 2005
SERMON SEEDS IS BACK!
We apologize for the sudden disappearance of Sermon Seeds.
In the rush of leaving for Brazil, we did not get a Seeds to you before we left. Thus there was no explanation of why we disappeared. We were on a missions trip to Cuiaba, Brazil, ministering to missionaries, churches, and a Christian school. The Lord blessed.
8TH ANNIVERSARY!
Sermon Seeds began on March 10th, 1997. Thanks to all of you who have been faithful to us down through the years. Most of all, thanks to our great God who has made this ministry possible!
You will notice that the numbering has changed to reflect a new year of Sermon Seeds. This year is the 9th year, so it is the I series.

Matthew 27:34-51
PARTED!
In this passage there are 3 things which are "parted", torn, or separated.
THE PARTED GARMENTS - Vss. 34-35 - THE SHAME OF THE CROSS
It was terrible that they publicly humiliated Jesus with the lowest possible
form of execution, crucifixion. But to add insult the soldiers parted his
garments, or divided them among themselves.
THE PARTED FELLOWSHIP - Vss. 45-49 - THE SORROW OF THE CROSS
This was the only time Jesus was "forsaken" by God the Father.
The punishment for our sins, He had to bear on His own.
THE PARTED VEIL - Vss. 50-51 - THE SUCCESS OF THE CROSS
The "Holy of Holies" was surrounded by a thick veil. Inside represented the
place where God dwelled. The veil separated between God and man, and only
the high priest entered. That entrance was only once a year. When the veil
was torn it was torn from top to bottom. God tore the veil! Christ's death
symbolized open access to the presence of God for all that come through His
Son.

Mark 15:1-38
FOR ME!
In Galatians 2:20 Paul states that Jesus loved him and gave Himself for him. Jesus loved and gave Himself for us as well. Mark shows us what terrible trouble Jesus faced for me!
ACCUSATION - Vss. 1-3 - He was falsely accused before Pilate by the chief priests, who should have received Him as their Messiah.
REJECTION - Vss. 6-14 - His own people rejected Him in favor of a convicted criminal, Barabbas.
HUMILIATION - Vss. 15-28
1. From the soldiers - Vss. 15-23
2. On the cross - Vss. 24-33
SEPARATION - Vss. 34-36 - Because He was bearing the sin of the world, even God the Father separated Himself from His Son during this time.
VINDICATION - Vss. 37-38 - When the veil was torn in two it indicated that God had accepted the sacrifice of Jesus for sin. The way was open to the "holy of holies" through Christ.

FISHING LESSONS
Jesus had promised to make the disciples "fishers of men". Matthew 4:19
This post-resurrection appearance can be applied to winning souls for Him.

DON'T FRET OVER THE CATCH - Vss. 7-11
Often when we lead souls to Christ we worry about the sincerity of the decision and the consistency of the converts. Just as the net held all the flesh, the Lord Jesus holds all those that sincerely trust in Him. John 10:27-31
DON'T FUSS WHEN CORRECTED - Vss. 12-18
In order for Peter to be the very best fisher of men, Jesus needed to deal with issues in his life, and encourage him. Jesus will correct us as well, to make sure we are good fishers of men. Hebrews 12:5-11
