Christians are often pretty clear on how the various parts of Jesus’ life apply to our lives today. We understand why Jesus had to die. We understand why he needed to live a perfect life. We understand the significance of his resurrection. But what about his burial? Every Sunday we confess in the Apostles’ or Nicene Creeds that we believe Jesus “was buried,” but why is that important? This Sunday we will examine John’s account of Jesus’ burial to answer that question and see how Jesus’ burial applies to our lives.
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.
