Have You Been Crucified With Christ? (6 of 6)
Series: Get Busy Dying

Matthew 27:26-44; John 13:1-17; Luke 23:33-34
I want us to look at three passages that speak to this before we dive into our main passages of Scripture.
TEXT: Matthew 16:24-25; Philippians 3:10-11; Galatians 2:20
This is the last message in this series about dying to ourselves in order that we may really live.

Today we are moving into the last hours of Jesus' life as He shared the Passover meal with His disciples, and then on to His crucifixion.
We are going to observe three qualities that are indicative of someone who has died to the flesh.
• Humility
We saw this quality during His triumphal entry.
He entered the city of Jerusalem on a donkey rather than on a h ...
