Sermon series: Good Friday

Psalm 22 is a passionate portrayal of a righteous, believing man. It provides us with a model for how we can deal with grief and sorrow as believers. Above all, the psalm points to Jesus Christ and provides us with a vivid description of His suffering and agony on the cross. Through His death, Jesus, the light of the world, descended into the darkness so that we may be delivered from eternal darkness.

The power to live Jesus’ Upside-Down Kingdom values is in knowing that it is also an Inside-Out Kingdom. The Kingdom has a generous and gracious culture that flows genuinely from the heart and is evidenced by hearing and obeying God’s Word. When our hearts are changed by God’s grace and generosity toward us in the Cross, we will live for Him from the heart.

In Jesus’s Upside-Down Kingdom, he calls us to love our enemies and do good to those who hate us. This is impossible to do in our own strength. Only seeing that God has loved us in Christ even when we were his enemies will fill us with the love that enables us to love our enemies.

In the beginning of his sermon, Jesus explains tells us the ‘upside-down’ values of his kingdom. He says that with him, even if you lose wealth, comfort, success and recognition you can still rejoice. But without him, even if you have all of those things, you will end up weeping because they are fleeting.

After recovering the true meaning of Sabbath rest (Luke 6:1-11), he now helps us recover the true meaning of work and mission (Luke 6:12-19). We learn the need for prayer, how Jesus assigns us to different vocations graciously and how in small and big ways we can take part in what God is doing to redeem souls and restore the world today.

In his conflict with the religious elite, Jesus reveals to us God’s original intention for Sabbath rest. It is for nourishment and restoration. A nourishment and restoration that can only be ours through the Gospel.

Jesus responds to the religious leaders who are questioning what His disciples were doing. In this passage, Jesus' teachings are emphatic: our old ways of self-righteousness are incompatible with the new ways of Jesus. As such, we need to lay aside our self-worked religion before we can receive the new wine of divine grace.

Jesus called Levi to follow him. This is controversial because Levi is a despised “tax collector”, a traitor to his people, and one who is unscrupulous and dishonest. But as grace touches Levi’s heart, he leaves his former ways behind and now uses all his resources to celebrate Jesus and propagate the good news. On the other hand, the religious Pharisees who depend on their own righteousness grumble against Jesus’ disciples. This gives Jesus the opportunity to spell out clearly that his mission is to come for the sick, unrighteous and sinful.

Deacons are appointed to preserve the unity and ensure the flourishing of the church. However, if we are not careful, we can distort their role and end up causing strife and disunity. God’s Word exhorts us to perceive the dignity of the role of Deacons, promote the peace and unity of the church, and pursue the honour of Christ so that we can truly flourish together in Christ as members, Deacons and Elders of Jesus’ church.

Through this story that involves the healing of a paralytic, Jesus helps us to see our most important need: the forgiveness of our sins. It clarifies who needs forgiveness, why forgiveness is needed, and what forgiveness does to us. With this forgiveness, we have the strength and freedom to walk in the ways of Jesus.
