Luke 23:13-25 (Jesus Died for the Innocent: For Those Who Carry Guilt That Isn't Theirs) - Phil Adams by Park Community Church

Series: Lord's Supper CommentsService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Art Driedger

At the heart of the Nicene Creed (325 AD) we find the words: “For our sake [Jesus] was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered, died, and was buried.” But how is it possible that someone who died 2,000 years ago could have died for our sake?! And if Jesus is God, how could He have died? And why would He have died—was this something He chose, or something He was coerced to do?

A Sermon Series in the Gospel of Mark

In the fourteenth episode of "The Cross," Duane Sheriff explores the depth of God's love and forgiveness as demonstrated by the cross. Jesus died once as a sacrifice to provide complete and eternal forgiveness for all our sins - past, present, and future. The Old Covenant included repetitive sacrifices, while the New Covenant established Jesus' one-time, all-encompassing atonement for our sins. The book of Hebrews describes Jesus as our eternal High Priest, who offered Himself once and for all. God's love is so infinite that He forgave our sins even before we committed them.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/the-cross/

Pastor Rob Santiago | Beyond The Grave 4.23.25

If you fully understand the gospel and what Jesus has done for us, you comprehend that He was not just executed 2,000 years ago by the Romans. You recognize that He willingly laid down his life as a sacrifice for our sins. Jesus died for us. He took our place. With his death on the cross, He paid the penalty for our sins, so we would not have to.Main Points:1. If God were not just, there would be no demand for his Son to suffer and die. And if God were not loving, there would be no willingness for his Son to suffer and die. But God is both just and loving. His love is willing to meet the demands of his justice.2. There are no small sins. Here's why: because God is not small. The seriousness of the insult rises with the dignity of the one insulted. The Creator of the universe is infinitely worthy of respect, admiration, and loyalty.3. Since God is just, he does not sweep these sins under the rug of the universe. He feels a holy wrath against them. They deserve to be punished, and he has made this clear: “For the wages of sin is death.” (Romans 6:23). To not punish us would be unjust. But here's what is truly amazing…Jesus accepts God's wrath on our behalf. Jesus doesn't cancel God's wrath, he absorbs it. He diverts is from us to himself. Today's Scripture Verses:Romans 5:6-8 - “You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”2 Corinthians 5:21 - “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”1 Peter 2:24 - “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

In our April 20 Easter Sunday gathering we wrap up our miniseries about why Jesus had to die. This week's discussion questions are below: April 20, 2025 Discussion Questions 1. Have you ever had to reboot a device to fix a problem? How does that experience connect with the idea of Jesus rebooting creation through the resurrection? 2. Colossians 1:18 says Jesus is the "firstborn from among the dead." What do you think that means? Why is it important that Jesus goes first in resurrection? 3. Read 1 Corinthians 15:22. How does comparing Jesus to Adam help us understand the significance of the resurrection? 4. In Luke 24:1–12, why do you think the women believed the resurrection message first, while the disciples doubted? What does this say about belief and expectation? 5. The sermon says Jesus didn't just die to defeat sin, but to “reboot all of creation”. How does this expand your understanding of the gospel? 6. How is the resurrection both a personal and a cosmic event? 7. What does it mean that the resurrection is “here, but not yet fully here”? How does that tension show up in your everyday life? 8. Is there an area of your life that feels like it's still under the weight of death, loss, or brokenness? How might the hope of resurrection speak into that? 9. The sermon says: “The worst moments of our lives become tombs waiting for a resurrection.” Can you think of a time when something painful or dead in your life was brought back to life in some way? 10. If Jesus truly rebooted the story of the world, what kind of story are you living in now? How would your daily decisions or mindset shift if you lived more fully into that new story? 11. Share one way you could live this week as a citizen of the resurrected kingdom. What small act of renewal or resurrection could you practice—personally or for someone else? 12. If someone asked you “What does Easter mean to you?”, how would you explain it using the image of a reboot?

    Speaker: Todd Arnett

HERE'S WHY THAT MATTERS: …it answers one of the most important questions people have “If mortals die, can they live again? This thought would give me hope, and through my struggle I would eagerly wait for release.” Job 14:14 NLT IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE: …It proves there is life after death “I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me-that Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and He was raised from the dead on the third day, as the Scriptures said. He was seen by Peter and then by the twelve apostles. After that, He was seen by more than five hundred of His followers at one time…” 1 Corinthians 15: 3-6 NLT “For we are not making up clever stories when we told you about the power of our Lord Jesus Christ and His coming again. We have seen His majestic splendor with our own eyes.” 2 Peter 1:16 NLT “But tell me this- since we preach that Christ rose from the dead, why are some of you saying there will be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ was not raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your trust in God is useless…but the fact is that Christ has been raised from the dead.” 1 Corinthians 15:12-14, 20 NLT …it shows what life after death is like “But the fact is that Christ has been raised from the dead. He has become the first of a great harvest of those who will be raised to life again.” 1 Corinthians 15:20 NLT “…and we can't even imagine what we will be like when Christ returns. But we do know that when He comes we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He really is.” 1 John 3:2 NLT “Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 5:8 NLT “Don't be surprised! Indeed, the time is coming when all the dead in their graves will hear the voice of God's Son, and they will rise again.” John 5:28-29 NLT “Why are you frightened? He asked. “Why do you doubt who I am? Look at My hands. Look at My feet. You can see that it's really Me. Touch Me and make sure that I am not a ghost, because ghosts don't have bodies, as you see I do!”…Still they stood there doubting, filled with joy and wonder. Then He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” They gave Him a piece of broiled fish, and He ate it as they watched.” Luke 24: 38-40, 41-43 NLT “There are bodies in the heavens, and there are bodies on earth. The glory of the heavenly bodies is different from the beauty of the earthly bodies.” 1 Corinthians 15:40 NLT “When this happens-when our perishable earthly bodies have been transformed into heavenly bodies, that will never die-then at last the Scriptures will come true: ‘Death is swallowed up in victory…'” 1 Corinthians 15:54 NLT “So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and steady, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.” 1 Corinthians 15:58 NLT …it shows the price paid for our eternal life “For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. How we thank God, who gives us the victory over sin and death through Jesus Christ our Lord!” 1 Corinthians 15:56 NLT “But He was wounded and crushed for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace. He was whipped, and we were healed.” Isaiah 53:5 NLT You can't afford it, but you must receive it. In one sense it doesn't cost us anything to come to Christ…in another sense it costs us everything.

A new MP3 sermon from Institute of Biblical Defense is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Good Friday 2025, Why Jesus Died! Speaker: Dr. Phil Fernandes Broadcaster: Institute of Biblical Defense Event: Sunday Service Date: 4/19/2025 Length: 59 min.

This week, in honor of the world giving lip service to The Resurrection at Easter, your host Fred Williams and co-host Doug McBurney condescend to entertain secular alternatives to the bodily death, burial & resurrection of Jesus Christ by listing the top 10: * Jesus Died by Crucifixion: The resurrection means nothing if Jesus didn't actually die. But virtually all scholars — even skeptical ones — agree Jesus died by Roman crucifixion. Why? The Roman method was brutal and efficient.   The Journal of the American Medical Association published a medical study affirming death by crucifixion.   Eyewitness accounts, including Roman historians like Tacitus, confirm it.   Jesus wasn't resuscitated. He was dead. The resurrection wasn't a near-death experience — it was a reversal of death.     * The Tomb Was Empty: The empty tomb is reported in all four Gospels, and it's confirmed by: Jewish leaders never produced the body. Instead, they said, “His disciples stole the body” — confirming the tomb was empty.   Even critics like atheist historian Bart Ehrman admit the tomb was likely empty — the question is why.     * The Disciples Believed They Saw the Risen Jesus: Something transformed a group of cowardly fishermen into bold proclaimers of a risen Christ. After Jesus' death, they were in hiding.   Then they claimed to have seen, touched, and eaten with the risen Jesus.   Many of them were martyred — not for what they believed, but for what they claimed to have seen.   People don't generally die for a lie they made up, especially when they get nothing in return but beatings and exile.     * The Rapid Spread of Christianity: How did a tiny, persecuted sect become the largest religion in the world? No political power. No money. No military. Just the message: He is risen.   Within weeks, thousands of Jews — fiercely monotheistic — believed Jesus was Lord and worshipped Him as God.   That doesn't happen unless something earth-shaking occurred.       * Testimony of Enemies: Who testified to the resurrection? Not just friends — enemies. James, Jesus' own skeptical brother, didn't believe in Him during His ministry. After the resurrection, James becomes a leader of the Jerusalem church and is martyred.   Paul was a violent persecutor of Christians. He had every reason to stop this movement — until he says he saw the risen Jesus himself.   Enemies don't convert unless they believe something really happened.     *The First Witnesses Were Women: All four Gospels say women were the first to find the tomb empty. In a culture where a woman's testimony didn't even count in court, this detail would never be invented. If the story were fabricated, the writers would've said Peter or John found the tomb.   The only reason to include women is because that's how it happened.   This is what scholars call the criterion of embarrassment — details that are awkward but truthful.   * I Corinthians 15: Paul lists post-resurrection appearances in I Cor 15. This shows belief in the resurrection wasn't a legend that developed decades later — it was immediate.   He names witnesses: “He appeared to Peter… the twelve… over 500 at once… James… and last of all to me.”   Paul is essentially saying: Go ask them yourself.     * The Martyrdom of the Apostles: Nearly all of the apostles suffered and many were killed for proclaiming Christ's resurrection. James: Certainly Beheaded in Jerusalem. Paul: Likely Beheaded in Rome. Peter: Likely crucified (allegedly upside down) Thomas: Allegedly Speared in India. Tens of thousands of Christian martyrdoms witnessed privately by millions of average people over the past 2,0000 years, (God knows and will bring the record on Judgment Day) They didn't die for abstract beliefs — they died for claiming they saw or believed in the risen Jesus. Liars make poor martyrs.     * The Conversion of Saul (Paul): Paul went from persecuting Christians to becoming Christianity's most influential missionary. He lost status, privilege, safety.   He was beaten, imprisoned, and eventually executed.   And he writes about meeting the risen Christ with personal conviction and detail.   What changes a man like that? Something real. Something undeniable.     * Bodily Resurrection from the Dead Fits All the Fact: When you put all the evidence together, there is no plausible alternative theory: The Swoon theory? Jesus didn't just faint — He was executed and His heart pierced.   The Hallucination theory? Hallucinations are individual — not shared by 500 people.   The Stolen body? The disciples would've had no motive and no success against the Roman guards, (who witnessed the theft while asleep)?   The Legend theory? Legends take generations. Christ's Resurrection was being preached and believed among hundreds in just days and weeks. The resurrection isn't just plausible — it's the only rational explanation regarding the earthly life, death ministry and legacy of Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches us that the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ was essential for the salvation of the world and the reconciliation of all things in Heaven and Earth back to God. So any other theory is to be dismissed.

In this week's Sermon Extra, Pastors Nick and Michael dive into the astonishing account in Matthew 27:52–53, where Matthew records an event so extraordinary it almost defies belief—graves opening and people rising from the dead at the moment of Jesus' death. They also discuss when Matthew was written.

Isaiah 53:4-6

Preached on April 13, 2025 from 1 Peter 3:18-22. For more information about Columbia Christian Church, please visit our website: www.columbiachristian.org

We continue our micro series about why Jesus had to die. This week's discussion questions are below: April 13 Discussion Questions What do you feel when you think about death—fear, peace, confusion, something else? Why? 2. How has your perspective on death changed over time, if at all? 3. The sermon argues that Jesus died in order to defeat death. How does that paradox strike you—does it feel confusing, hopeful, beautiful, or something else? 4. Revelation 1:18 says Jesus holds “the keys of death and the grave.” What does that image suggest to you? What might it mean for your own life? 5. Why do you think we still fear death even when we believe Jesus defeated it? 6. What does it look like to live without the fear of death? Have you known someone who lived like that? 7. Dallas Willard said, “You want to stop now... of thinking of your life as coming to an end.” What would change in your life if you truly believed that? 8. What do you imagine the life to come will be like, based on what was shared in this sermon? 9. What does the promise of resurrection and eternal life stir in you? Joy, doubt, curiosity, longing? 10. How can you live today in light of the truth that death has been defeated and that your life will continue beyond the grave? 11. What might it look like to “pray for the kingdom to come” in your everyday routines?

The Passion of Christ is more than just a historical event; it has a deep meaning for our daily lives. We are glad you are here as we begin our sermon series leading up to Easter. Today we will discuss "Why Jesus Died".

Send us a textWelcome back to Season 6 of the Embodied Holiness Podcast! Susan and Alex welcome their good friend, Rev. Cliff Burris, for a thoughtful exploration sparked by a question from one of the children at Parkway Heights UMC: "Did God die when Jesus died on the cross?"

Curious about why Jesus died? This sermon dives into a central question of faith: why Jesus' death was so important to Christians, and how they believe it actually changed everything. We'll explore why the stories about Jesus spend so much time on his last week , and answer common questions like, "Why did God need Jesus to die to forgive us?" You'll learn that Jesus' death wasn't an accident but part of God's plan , and how it's seen as the clearest picture of God's amazing love for us. Discover how this act deals with our wrongs and allows us to live differently, not out of fear, but out of love. If you want to understand the heart of Christian belief, this sermon is for you.

We kick off a new series about why Jesus had to die. This week's discussion questions are below: April 6 Discussion Questions 1. Why do you think the question “If God can do anything, why did Jesus have to die?” is such a powerful or challenging one? 2. Dallas Willard suggests that God's goal is to create a community of free, loving beings. How does that help explain why God allows our current world with its suffering and sin? 3. How does redefining omnipotence as “limitless power to live out God's unchanging character and promises” help us understand why God couldn't simply “snap his fingers” and remove sin? 4. Can you think of something that sounds logical in theory (like the “rock God can't lift” question), but breaks down when applied to a personal God? Why do abstract puzzles fall short in describing God? 5. Why does sin require death as a consequence? How does the “electricity” analogy help explain what sin does to our relationship with God? 6. What role did animal sacrifice play in the Old Testament? How was it a foreshadowing of Jesus' death? 7. How is Jesus described as the ultimate “Paschal lamb”? Why is the timing of his death (at Passover) important? 8. How would you define sin in your own words after hearing this sermon? Has your definition shifted? 9. Why do you think some people ask, “If Jesus forgave me, why can't I just sin as much as I want?” How would you respond to that? 10. In what ways does sin still carry consequences, even if it's forgiven? 11. The sermon describes God's commands not as arbitrary rules but as paths to joy. Do you find that view helpful? Why or why not? 12. What might it look like for you to grow into being a “person of peace and an agent of love like Jesus”?

If there is any hope for eternity in the presence of God, we need a Redeemer, a Substitute, a Savior. Christ died and rose to be that hope.

Dear Humans, Sometimes, the universe delivers a moment of pure, unfiltered schadenfreude so powerful that even God and Jesus can't handle it. This was one of those moments. Elon Musk's own son obliterated Donold in the Oval Office, proving once and for all that even small children know to tell him to shut up and go away. And we, your benevolent deities, are here to watch it unfold together and laugh our divine asses off. 1. Even a Toddler Can See Through Donold's BS Baby X (or, as we prefer, Elon's son) had a hot mic moment of the century. "Shut up, go away." – A perfect summary of how the world feels about Donold. Donold, of course, just stood there awkwardly, because he's not used to hearing the truth. The fact that this happened in the Oval Office makes it even funnier. Listen to today's episode right now!

How do we know that Jesus died for our past, present, and future sins? Did Jesus die for all of our sins, including the sins that we will commit in the future?

We will continue our conversation regarding Jesus taking on the form of a human while being God simultaneously. Christ is our atonement, our sacrifice, who died for our sins and rose again. Not only is He our sacrifice, but He's also the High Priest. So, in what way did Jesus die for God? Find out what Pastor Jack means in this episode.
