      THE DEATH OF JESUS: UNNATURAL

      ..................

      THE PRESENT SERIES OF STUDIES assumes that the Christian religion is the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that the Bible is its authoritative exposition. Of the Christian system, the Cross of Christ is the central truth. It is at once a profound mystery, and a most glorious revelation. As to its deepest and hidden method it is a mystery; in its unveiling of the heart of God and in the declaration of the possibility of forgiveness of sins, it is a revelation.

      Our purpose is to gather about the cross in order that we may consider it in the light of Bible teaching. I shall endeavor resolutely to avoid making any appeal to speculations or philosophies which are not founded on acceptance of the authority of Scripture.

      The two passages which indicate our starting point contain much teaching with which I do not propose now to deal. I refer to them because they set forth certain truths of supreme importance to our argument. The quotations are taken respectively from the first and second discourses of Peter, delivered in the power of the outpoured Spirit. In the last days of our Lord’s ministry, during which He foretold His Cross with great distinctness, these men quite honestly believed that the Cross would inevitably mean defeat of His purpose and disaster to His enterprise. Immediately after the reception of the Spirit they referred to the Cross in such language as to make it plain that there had come to them an entirely new conception of its meaning.

      In each of these passages, Peter emphasized two facts: first, that of the sinlessness of Jesus and secondly, that of the sin of His murder.

      When, in the second passage, the Apostle charged those to whom he spoke with having slain the Holy and the Righteous One, his words were carefully chosen. The word holy describes inward purity, which is the perfection of character. The word righteous describes active rectitude, which is perfection of conduct. Thus Peter affirmed that Jesus whom they slew was both holy and righteous that is true in conduct.

      He moreover, in each case charged upon the men to whom he was speaking that their putting to death of a sinless Man was an act of sin. We are thus confronted with a problem which we are compelled to recognize and of which we must attempt to find the solution. That solution is not found in these passages, and we shall not reach it in this study. The matter of first importance is that we should recognize the problem.

      Let me state that problem briefly. In the midst of that universe which the Bible declares to be under the government of God, the one perfect Man in all human history is put to death by the hands of sinful men. Men of impure character slay the one Man of purity of
