Jesus accomplishes his victory as king not by coming down from the cross or avoiding death, but by enduring death and rising victoriously over it

Though all humanity bears the guilt of Jesus’ death, he gave his life in willing obedience to his Father to bring us back to God

Live expectantly in light of the return of Jesus Christ

Jesus exposes hypocritical spirituality but exalts the humble

True greatness in Jesus’ kingdom is not being exalted or exalting oneself, but trusting him and following the pattern of his cross

Listen to Jesus!

Embrace Jesus and follow him through the suffering to the glory

Legalism and license are both superficial, man-centered, and empty; true obedience is anchored in grace, empowered by the Spirit, and comes from the heart

Jesus is powerful enough to ultimately overcome unbelief and opposition, either through judgment or revelation

Jesus is God in the flesh, a present help to all who trust him
