SITTING AND WATCHING 1

Matthew 27:35-36 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots (36) And sitting down they watched him there;

Introduction: There have been many events that have been watched throughout history. There have been larger crowds.

Even in ancient days multitudes would watch the games in the Roman coliseum.

Today there are stadiums that hold over 100,000 people at concerts and sporting events.

Millions watch events on television.

Twice in most of our own lives we have witnessed wars as we watched simultaneously with the rest of the world.

We sat and watched in horror as our nation was attacked on September 11, 2001 in such a terrible act of terrorism that it has become a defining moment in our lives.

The event that took place that day was even greater than any moment that has ever been witnessed before or since. The sad thing is many are still sitting and watching.

Are you just sitting and watching the work of our Lord or are you sharing it with others?
