“This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this
“This is my body
• and it's not just me who sees these passages in the Bible
• but that almost never happens… beware of surrendering too easily the third pair of questions Two questions about apostles • 1.
• but there are at least half a dozen passages spread out across all four gospels that strongly suggests at the place Peter was talking about was Judas’ spot in hell
• it seems unlikely to me that there were very many of them that could have possibly met those qualifications
• of the ones who did
• on the other hand
• people have been wrestling with these texts for 2000 years • the reality of hell itself is a perpetually
• the 12 that followed him from town to town across ancient Galilee
• the answers will be succinct because
• the Bible has some truly disturbing and disgusting things in it... This is one of them 2.
• the first two pairs of questions are questions that curious people
• the simplest
• they're really important questions
• what is Peter talking about when he says that Judas went to his place?
• ἀποστέλλω Mark 3:13-19 T&R • the apostolic witness • here in Acts 1 T&R • the apostolic transmission • John 14:15-26 T&R • the apostolic writings • Paul (1Co 14:36-38)
24 and when he had given thanks
A Journey into the Real Apocalypse
after supper
although the questions really do matter
And find ourselves in his friendship. We want him to become for us
and holiness
and just can't seem to come to a decision… but a decision still has to be made… so they just flip a coin • this passage tells us that Peter laid out for them a very clear set of qualifications
and righteousness
and said
and salvation. For he is the One who suffered once for sins
and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30 That is why many of you are weak and ill
and some have died. 31 But if we judged ourselves truly
and theologically
and we'll try to answer them with clear
and when it hit the ground
apparently they just couldn't find any way to choose between the final two contestants 2.
as often as you drink it
Bathe ourselves in the blood that he shed there for us
but just can't seem to come to a decision… yet a decision still has to be made… cast lots
but they're not crucially important to how you live your life

Daniel
Do I turn from my sin and trust Jesus alone to make me right with God? 2.
eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Let a person examine himself
Ezra and Nehemiah
for today and forever
Has my trust in Jesus led me to be part of a specific church family
Has my trust in Jesus led me to follow him in baptism
he broke it
his body split open
his dead body remained hanging from the tree for a couple of days until it became bloated and disgusting
in remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup
in this very moment
Is there some other sin I need to turn away from right now

like rolling dice or flipping a coin today 1.
logically
Lose ourselves in his Lordship
Matthew: the Gospel of the King
most obvious answer is that his place was just the spot of his burial in the field mentioned right here in Acts chapter one and also the passage in Matthew 27… and I hope that's all it means
our Father. 1Co 11 23 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you
painfully perplexing problem • please come talk to me… Judas in hell • if you want to be sure that there is no place waiting for you in hell
Peter (2Pe 1:16-21 and 3:15-16) T&R 2.
powerfully
Renew ourselves in his resurrection
Resurrection Morning
right before baptism in the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost S&R Acts 1:15-26 what they need to listen for • 3 pairs of questions
Robe ourselves in his righteousness
Romans
run to Jesus right now the second pair of questions Two questions about lots • casting lots = ancient game of chance
Samaria • the 12 with whom he shared the Last Supper on the night before his crucifixion where it fits • this is the story of how the 11 surviving apostles chose a 12th • right after the Ascension
saying
serious people usually can't avoid asking if they pay attention to this passage at all
Should we be using this method to make decisions? • almost never • but you and your church family have spent hours or days carefully researching the matter biblically
someone cut it down
succinct answers
that he might bring us to you
that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread
The Acts of the Holy Spirit
The Coronacrisis
The Kingdom, the Rebel, and the War
the righteous for the unrighteous
then
therefore
they don't matter nearly as much ask the final pair of questions • so the beginning of this sermon might serve to satisfy some curiosity
they want God or fate or chance or whatever to make the decision
they're too lazy to think about it b.
they've spent hours or days carefully researching the matter
they’re in too much of a rush to work it out carefully c.
Titus, living and leading in a dysfunctional culture
Trusting only in your Son’s sacrifice for our sins to make us right with you. We want to shelter ourselves in the shadow of his cross
Vision
we turn again from our sin and ourselves to you and your glory
we would not be judged. 4 questions for examining ourselves 1.
well...
What were they for then? • foundation for the Christian faith • Eph 2:19-21 T&R • the apostolic mission
Where did he go? • a perpetually perplexing problem • Acts 1:25b T&R
which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way also he took the cup
Why did they use this method to make a decision? • many places in both OT & NT • same basic reasons people make a decision by flipping a coin today a.
