Two Sides of the Coin

Luke 13:31-35

Sermon Notes:

1. The Threat to Kill Jesus (v. 31-33)

2. Jesus' Lament Over Death (v. 34)

3. The Result of Killing Jesus (v. 35)

Reflection Questions:

1. What are tough circumstances in your life that God has appointed? What does Christ's certainty of his own path to the cross and after the cross say about God's appointments for you?

2. How should we react to the sin in the world? How should we treat the lost? In what ways could you reflect Jesus' attitude in v. 34?

3. In what ways does Jesus' death encapsulate both the judgment of God and the salvation of God? What attributes of God are on display at the cross?
