As we look around our world, we see humanity caught in a destructive pattern. We are victims of the sin of others, but we go and pass on that same sin to others. As we look in our world, we see the need for a new way forward. We need someone who is like us, who can step into this cycle and stop it in its tracks, who can cover over the sins we have committed, and offer a new way forward where we pass on that sin no more. We need a representative who can act on our behalf, where we can't. Who could that man be, and would you let him be your representative?
In this sermon series we're looking at the meaning and accomplishment of the cross. This sermon looks at what it means that in the person of Christ we encounter God himself on the cross.
“But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬
