Sunday’s sermon from the Community Evangelical Free Church in Soap Lake, WA. Our text for this Sunday is Matthew 27:24-31 where we find Jesus being handed over to crucifixion. Even though Pilate seems reluctant, he still has Jesus scourged and delivered over to death where soldiers proceed to mock and beat Him. The reminder for us as we reflect on this text that everything Jesus endured, He endured it willingly and in the place of guilty sinners. Jesus wasn’t forced into dying on the cross, but rather willingly laid His life down for the sheep. This reminder ought to ignite in our hearts an overwhelming sense of gratitude. That God in the flesh would die in our place, for our sin, that we might have new hearts and eternal life is reason for great joy. May we be reminded that Jesus is our all sufficient savior. We pray this sermon encourages and challenges you in the faith. If you have any questions or comments you can contact us at [email protected].
