This Sunday night we continue our series of messages on “24 Hours That Changed the World.” As Christians we believe that God arrived on earth as one of us. God made the sick well. He forgave sinners, demonstrated kindness, and taught us about what God was really like. And here’s the paradox. It wasn’t the “sinners” who put God under arrest when he lived with us. The most religious and spiritual people on the face of the earth are the ones who took him into custody! The God who lived among them, whom they professed to serve, could not be seen by them. Does this relate at all to any Christians you know today?
We also believe the death of Jesus was redemptive. It was purposeful. Jesus didn’t die as a disappointed prophet. He wasn’t just a good teacher crucified by the Romans. Jesus made a choice to go to Jerusalem, seeing his death coming. Christians accept his death and resurrection as the medium through which God saved the world. It was the ultimate bail-out!
I hope to see you this Sunday night at 6 p.m. at the Mansfield Activities Center (MAC, 106 South Wisteria, Mansfield, 76063) as we take a closer look at how Jesus was ”Condemned by the Righteous.” Come find strength and support as we join to worship God together.
