And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:1b-2) 

*Jesus did not ___________ the cross; He endured it!

Q: How is God glorified?

A: God is ________________ when His character and attributes are made manifest.

May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. (Galatians 6:14)

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. (I Cor. 2:14)

FIVE RESULTS OF THE CROSS

(vs. 23,28)

2. At the cross ___________________ eternal fruit is produced (v.24)

3. At the cross the world’s ________________ is sealed. (v.31)

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. (John 3:16-18)

4. At the cross ______________ is ultimately defeated. (v.31)

Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. 

5. At the cross sinners are _____________ to the Saviour. (v.32)
