In this sermon, Michael Easley explores the profound significance of Jesus Christ's crucifixion—its unique brutality, the journey to Golgotha, and the fulfillment of Scripture. He emphasizes the spiritual weight of Christ's sacrifice, urging listeners to grasp the depth of His suffering and the love that compelled it. Takeaways The crucifixion is a unique and solemn sacrifice for humanity's sins. Jesus carried His own cross to Golgotha, symbolizing His burden.

This sermon explores the significance of a fair trial in the context of Jesus' trial before Pilate. It delves into the allegations made against Jesus, the irony of the situation, and the historical context of Pilate's role. Dr. Easley highlights the nature of Jesus' kingdom and the responses of individuals towards Him, ultimately emphasizing the importance of truth and authority in the life of a believer. Takeaways The concept of a fair trial is a cornerstone of the American legal system. Jesus faced multiple trials that lacked fairness and justice. Pilate's historical existence was confirmed through archaeological evidence. The Jews sought to manipulate Pilate into executing Jesus without a fair trial. Jesus' kingdom is not of this world, indicating a different kind of authority. Pilate's question, 'What is truth?' reflects a common human dilemma. Many people today deny, destroy, or dismiss the truth of Christ. Believers are called to submit to the authority of Christ and His teachings. The world is not meant to be a paradise for believers; it is a place of duty. Understanding the nature of Jesus' kingship is crucial for living a faithful Christian life. This audio is originally from Michael's sermon of ‘Man's Court, God's Kingdom, Pt. 1 (John 18:28-38)' at Immanuel Bible Church.
