Death of Christ

All of us have had our hand on the cross, heaving it to the place of death, and hoisting Jesus into the air. Jesus died because of all of us. And Jesus died for all of us. No one is automatically saved by Jesus, but everyone can be saved by Jesus because His death is for the world.

This message from our 2023 Good Friday Remembrance service focuses on the sacrifice of Jesus to discover the splendor of Calvary.

The facts about Jesus' burial in the Gospel of Mark establish incontrovertible evidence for Jesus’ death—a death that confirms God's justice, proves God's love, secures our savation, and readies our own resurrection.

We often think of “taking up our cross” as doing our least favorite tasks. Or putting up with some kind of stress or inconvenience. But a cross is a means of death. It is death to our selves and our own interests. All of them, if they’re not Christ's.
