What does The Cross mean to you?
Michael W. Smith sang a song called "Cross of Gold". In it he says this:
"For some it's simply something to wear around your neck
Just a chain
Jewelry
Is it decoration?
Is it an icon
Or proclamation?
An icon of what?
What?
For some it's simply something to wear around your neck
Just a chain
It means a lot more than that to me"
This Sunday is Palm Sunday. It's the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. People celebrated.
But Jesus knew what was coming. The Cross.
He knew where He would suffer. The Cross.
He knew where He would die. The Cross.
This week, we look at "The Cross" in Session 4 of our book.
Here's the outline for our lesson:
1. Jesus is the Messiah-King who suffers for His people (Matthew 16:13-16,21-24)
2. Jesus is the sacrificial Lamb who brings about the new covenant (Matthew 26:26-29)
3. Jesus is the self-giving King who brings salvation to His people (Matthew 27:45-50)
So join us at 9:50 am Sunday morning as we kick off Holy Week.
Finish Friday strong. Enjoy Saturday with your family. See you Sunday!
Loyally yours,
Darren Bayne
