On this Good Friday, Pastor Chris walks through Matthew 27:1-10 and unpacks the sobering contrast between Judas and Jesus. Through the themes of cost, crime, and curse, this message reveals the devastating weight of sin—and the greater love of Christ who chose to carry that weight on the cross for us.Judas was overwhelmed by guilt, unable to undo what he had done or carry the burden of his choices. But where Judas was crushed by the weight of sin, Jesus stepped in to bear it. What we could never repay, Jesus paid in full. What we could never carry, Jesus carried completely.This message invites us to reflect deeply on the cross. Not as a tragedy, but as a divine exchange. Jesus did not hang on a tree for nothing. He did it for you and for me, offering forgiveness, freedom, and new life to all who would receive Him.Easter 2026 | Date: April 3, 2026
