Good Friday (Contemporary)
On Good Friday, we stand at the foot of the Cross and ask the question:
Who is responsible for the death of Jesus?
Was it Peter?
Was it Pilate?
Was it the crowd?
Scripture will not allow us to remain spectators.
Drawing from Isaiah 53 and the witness of the New Testament, this sermon confronts us with the truth that the Cross is not only something that happened long ago—it is something in which we are personally involved. Christ died not only for us, but because of us.
And yet, this is not a message of despair.
It is a message of redemption.
“For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin…”
“While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
In the suffering and death of Jesus, our sin is laid upon Him—and through His sacrifice, we are forgiven, restored, and healed.
As we reflect on the Passion, we are invited into repentance, gratitude, and renewed trust in the saving work of Christ.
📖 Scripture: Isaiah 53; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 5:8
