Send us Fan MailIn this episode. Pastor Dom teaches us how communion connects to the Cross. John 18:39-4039 “But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Do you therefore want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”Luke 23:18-1918 And they all cried out at once, saying, “Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas”—  19 who had been thrown into prison for a certain rebellion made in the city, and for murder.Mark 15:11-1211 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them. 12 Pilate answered and said to them again, “What then do you want me to do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?”Luke 23:21-2421 But they shouted, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!” 22 Then he said to them the third time, “Why, what evil has He done? I have found no reason for death in Him. I will therefore chastise Him and let Him go.” 23 But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men and of the chief priests prevailed. 24 So Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested.John 10:2727 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.Psalm 23:123 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.Jeremiah 17:99 “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?Matthew 27:26-3126 Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified. 28 And they stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him. 29 When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”  30 Then they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head. 31 And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to be crucified. Mark 15:22-2722 And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. 23 Then they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it. 24 And when they crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take. 25 Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. 26 And the inscription of His accusation was written above: THE KING OF THE JEWS. 27 With Him they also crucified two robbers, one on His right and the other on His left.Matthew 27:39-4039 And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads 40 and saying, …If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”Matthew 27:44-4644 Even the robbers who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing. 45 Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”Luke 23:3434 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” And they divided His garments and cast lots.Luke 23:39-4339 Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.” 40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.” 42 Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” 43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”Ephesians 4:3232 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.Romans 6:2323 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal li
