Good Shepherd Barrhaven Sermon Stream

Christians call Jesus King. Yet, we also say he died a very undignified and shameful death. What kind of king is Jesus, who lets himself be captured, humiliated and tortured to death on a cross? This sermon argues that the way Jesus died isn't a sign of his weakness. Instead, it's a sign that he is a king who is willing to suffer any kind of shame and pain in order to complete his mission of grace.Scripture Passage: Luke 23:33-46Preached on Christ the King Sunday, November 24, 2019 by Rev.
