Something Different - video
Good Morning!, Today’s Service is going to be a little heavy.
Spoiler alert: it ends with a death.
As we wrap up our series on the Suffering Messiah, we will follow the Messiah as he willingly surrenders himself to suffering.
Death on a cross.
Right now, let’s begin on a high note, as Jesus rode into Jerusalem, a humble Messiah on a donkey.
The crowd’s Shout HOSANNA! Glory to God in the highest!
Praise Him!
Song
Sin is Serious
The Christian Gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me.
This leads to deep humility and deep confidence at the same time.
It undermines both swaggering and sniveling.
I cannot feel superior to anyone, and yet I have nothing to prove to anyone.
I do not think more of myself or less of myself.
Instead, I think of myself less.
- Tim Keller
Sin is the issue.
Since the beginning we have done things our way.
Over all the years of history have we improved the situation?
IT is the hardest thing for people to accept - I can’t fix myself
Jesus cam to do what we could not do - perfect life - perfect sacrifice
Communion is what we do to remember - not only our sin, but the price Jesus paid
Today we will look at the cost for our sin and the amazing love that paid that cost
First - let us remember
Communion / Song
Grace is Costly
The crucifixion is the vehicle by which we have been able to experience the grace we received
Cost of that grace matched the seriousness of our sin
Think about this:
He was rejected - the people who He healed called for the release of a murderer in Barabbas
He was abandoned
He was beaten beyond recognition
He was mocked and spat upon
He had to carry His own cross
The entire time His only thought was for us
Every lash, every mocking, every pounding of the nails - paying for our disobedience
We don’t deserve it, we can’t earn it - it is Grace
Song
Love is Sacrificial
If we want proof of God's love for us, then we must look first at the Cross where God offered up His Son as a sacrifice for our sins.
Calvary is the one objective, absolute, irrefutable proof of God's love for us.
- Jerry Bridges
This one act changed everything - motivated by love for those who did not love Him
Even those performing the execution saw it
This one act changed everything -
Now we had access and way back - the holies of holies was now no longer isolated
We make sacrifices for our friends and families and call it love
Christ sacrificed for those who never knew Him and those who hated Him
That defines Love
As we close I want us all to wrestle with this, to remember the cost of our sin, i want us to mourn
Easter Sunday we will finish the story
For now we will close with a song and video, and then we ask you to simply exit
Let’s pray
