HIS DEATHS
Sunday
Morning: April 4, 2004
Text: Isaiah 53:9 "And he made
his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death [deaths,
from the Hebrew text]; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit
in his mouth.
Philippians
2:8 "And being found in fashion as a man,
he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death [thanatos],
even [de<, but also] the death [thanatos] of the cross."
[qana>tou, qana>tou de< staurou~.] (the structure of the
last clause, I believe, emphasizes the opposition between the two deaths rather
than a conjunction defining the first death as that of the cross)

the will of him (the Father) that sent me, and [can
be translated also] to finish his [the] work [singular]."

things were now accomplished [finished], that the scripture might
be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. 29. Now there was set a vessel full of
vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop,
and put it to his mouth. 30. When Jesus therefore had received the
vinegar, he said, It is finished [accomplished]: and he bowed his
head, and gave up the ghost [breath]."
