Resurrection and Commission | InVerse Sabbath School Lesson 13 | Quarter 4 2024

The Empty Tomb
The Romans used crucifixion largely to punish slaves, criminals, and traitors to the empire. Ultimately, the charge of treason led to Jesus’ condemnation. If He had simply lived and then died as a self-proclaimed king, He most likely would have been only a small footnote in history. Crucifixion was a taboo form of punishment for the Jews because of what Deuteronomy 21:23 says. There are no examples of heroic Jewish martyrs who were crucified. It never became a symbol of Jewish suffering. The theological impact of the Deuteronomic text made that an impossibility. However, Jesus’ death was not the end of the story. His resurrection sheds light on the victorious nature of the cross and His role as the true King.
