John 18:28-40
The confrontation between Jesus and Pilate is not just dramatic, it is telling. It helps Christians today understand what kind of kingdom Jesus brought into being and the very real threat it poses to the world’s petty rulers. Just as we feel safe, however, from the clash between these two powers, our own kingdoms are called into question! If Jesus is who he said he is then no ruler is safe—not even you and me when we try to rule our own lives. Join us this Sunday as we continue the story of Jesus’ final hours from John 18.
From Series: "Gospel of John: Jesus, Our Great High Priest"
This Sunday we return to the Gospel of John to see our great High Priest at work. First, in his prayer. And then in his atoning work on the cross. Over the spring we’ll walk with Jesus through the final hours of his earthly life and then experience the joy (and confusion) of his disciples when they discover that he has risen from the dead. Along the way we’ll gain a greater understanding of the heart of Jesus for you and me, as well as the goal of his redeeming work that stretches as far as the curse is found.
