BIG IDEA: To reject Jesus is to know increasing helplessness.

*Six ways we see the helplessness of Jesus’ enemies on display:

They can’t carry out Jesus’ penalty. (v.1-2)
They can’t deny Jesus’ impeccability. (v.3-4a)
They can’t relieve Judas’ agony. (v.4b-5)
They can’t see their own hypocrisy. (v.6)
They can’t conceal their own ignominy. (v.7-8)
They can’t escape biblical prophecy. (v.9-10)
