Podcast appearances and mentions of jesus died

Follow Everyday Encounters with the Lord on Facebook.

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Bob Wilkin and Sam Marr are answering a question about believers being judged by God. What about our bad works or deeds? Do they not denote or imply sin or sins? If Jesus has already taken the judgment for believers' sins, how does this work at the Judgment

The middle finger often gets a bad rap in our culture, and for good reason. It's used to express anger, disrespect, and even hate. But what if we could redeem it? In this episode of "The Five Finger Gospel," we take what's often seen as negative and reframe it as a powerful symbol of love: our tallest finger reminds us of the tall, tall cross where Jesus died for us. What looked like a moment of defeat became the foundation of our hope.Romans 5:8 declares, “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Jesus didn't wait for us to be good enough—He took our place, paid our debt, and made a way. This conversation equips parents and mentors to talk honestly and gently with kids about sin, death, forgiveness, and eternal life without shame or fear.Host Tosha Williams shares personal stories of spiritual awareness in young children—including a toddler's surprising understanding of death—and offers gospel-centered conversation guides for everyday discipleship moments: around the table, during car rides, or at bedtime.Whether you're just beginning or ready to grow deeper, this episode gives you a hand full of truths about the Gospel.

John 1:29-42

1. I Was Involuntarily Committed to a Mental Institution. 2. This Was How God Answered my Prayer. 3. What I Thought Was the Worst Day of my Life Was the Beginning of Something Wonderful. 4. Jesus Died in Order to Bear Much Fruit. 5. Jesus' Death Is the Great Crisis of World History. 6. It Is Also the Casting Down of Satan. 7. The Cross Is the Great Crisis. 8. The Cross Changes the Focus on the Subjects of Redemption. 9. Jesus Is the Light of the World, and He Has Called us to Let our Light Shine. 10. What Does it Mean to Hate our Life in this World? 11. Sandy and I Have Enjoyed Great Fruitfulness over the Past Decade. 12. What Are you Holding onto?

When it comes to my own worldview and journey in theology and the Bible, this was a question to settle on an answer for: Did Jesus die for every person who ever lived, or only for the elect? And then there were the follow-up questions: If Jesus died for the everyone, ever, then why weren't their sins paid for? Why do they still go to Hell? And if Jesus died for a "category" of people (and we join that category through deciding to have faith), then can I ever really say that "Jesus died for me?" This is where the heart of the difference lies between Roman Catholics and Reformed Protestants on this issue: the Reformed can say "Jesus Christ loved me and gave himself for me" (Galatians 2:20). This is Limited Atonement, or "Particular Redemption" expressed.Watch my whole Apologetics Answers playlist here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfSpUNYR5qo6sv8Pk8x0tmaq8lLQHHlTm&si=FlnSB-pBhZ6SSaJEMen, get real accountability and knowledge to help you become the worldview leader your family and church need.

For part 7 of 12 on “What is the Nicene Creed?” we unpack these lines:For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;        he suffered death and was buriedOn the third day he rose again            in accordance with the Scriptures;One of the wild things about the Creed is we go right from Jesus' birth, via Mary, to his death, at the hands of Pontius Pilate. And yet, even wilder still, is that our God in Christ suffered death. The crucifixion – a death used by the Roman Empire to terrify and suppress enslaved people who rebelled – and the resurrection – are at the epicenter of Christian faith. What does it mean that Jesus died this way? What does it mean that on the third day, he rose? We are delighted and amazed to welcome to the podcast the inimitable Rev. Dr. Canon Kelly Brown Douglas, whose enormous work as priest, preacher, teacher, and writer, has long explored these questions.More about our guest: The Rev.

The Essence of Friendship with Jesus Pastor Tommy reflects on the concept of friendship, noting the difference between acquaintances and true friends. Many people have acquaintances but few genuine friends. He recalls Arthur McMillan's statement: "I consider you my friend, but my best friend is Jesus." Pastor Tommy emphasizes that friendship with Jesus is a constant challenge, pushing one to become more like Him. Friendship with Jesus challenges individuals to become less like themselves and more like Him. Qualities of Jesus as a Friend Jesus Talks to Me Unlike casual friends, Jesus communicates regularly, even when Pastor Tommy isn't actively seeking Him. His voice dispels darkness and changes perspective. Pastor Tommy references Exodus 33, where God spoke to Moses as a man speaks to his friend. God's voice brings life and reveals the need for salvation, unlike the condemnation from the enemy. There is no confusion in the voice of God. God has shared eternal truth. The Holy Spirit speaks the Word of God into the soul, rescuing with that Word. Jesus Loves Me A friend loves at all times (Proverbs 17:17). God's love is unconditional, even when one is unlovable. 1 John 4:10: God loved us and sent His Son as propitiation for our sins. Jesus proved His love by laying down His life for His friends (John 15:13). If Jesus didn't love you for even a second, you would know it. Jesus Protects Me Jesus protects from worldly fears and the enemy's snares (Luke 12:4). He is always present, like a brother who sticks close. He puts a hedge and wall of love around. Jesus Corrects Me Faithful are the wounds of a friend (Proverbs 27:6). Correction and chastening are signs of God's love (Hebrews 12:6). A true friend will point out when you are going down the wrong path. The Holy Ghost arrested Pastor Tommy's soul and revealed the reality of hell. Jesus offers a better way and salvation. Jesus Died for Me Jesus left heaven and became flesh to pay the penalty for sin. A search was made in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, and only Jesus was found worthy to go. The angel announced the birth of a Savior in Bethlehem. Jesus was born to die and become the greatest friend. Story of a New Friend at the Airport Pastor Tommy shares an anecdote about meeting a man at the airport who wanted to be his friend. The man was outgoing, calling multiple people to share that he made a new friend. He asked Pastor Tommy to play Uno and wanted to text him regularly. Pastor Tommy reflects that God was sharing something with him about a person that didn't have another motive, he just wanted to be my friend. How to Know Jesus as a Friend Believe in Him Faith and trust are essential. Abraham was called the friend of God because he believed God (James 2:23). John 3:16: Believe in Jesus to have everlasting life. Obey Him Jesus said, "Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you" (John 15:14). Trust and obey.

Jesus is and was always kind and forgiving, even to the people who were the very meanest. Learn from Jesus's example of practicing kindness to everyone in this lesson about the cost of salvation.

It is most assuredly true that Believers enjoy the fullness of God's love in a way that unbelievers can not.However, any view that concludes Jesus only died for certain people is wrong.

1. Jesus Restores What Adam Lost - Let Jesus define who you're becoming - Live like a child of God, not an orphan 2. Jesus Died to Destroy Death - Remember who went first - Replace fear with faith 3. Jesus Became Like Us to Help Us - Run to Him, not from Him - Remember: you have a High Priest, not a judge   Summary: "The Son of God became the Son of Man, so that the sons and daughters of men might become sons and daughters of God"

This episode is about how to know who Jesus died for...based on what the Bible says.The target of his ministry is to clearly communicate the gospel of grace to unbelievers and solid Bible teaching to believers in order to nurture them to grow and walk in fellowship with Jesus Christ. Josiah and his family are supported by people who believe in the gospel and want to see it preached and defended.

Hosted by Pastor Josh SorensenOriginating from GRACE FM in Aurora, Colorado, Calvary Live is a one hour program that answers questions about issues surrounding life, godliness, and living for Jesus Christ in our current ever changing culture.

 Some interesting things in thispassage of Scripture also show up in the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel ofMark. Today, I want to take time to look at all three of these passages becauseit's in these passages that we read this statement repeatedly: "Hesaved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen ofGod."  (The Luke passage is above.) Matthew27:35-44 reads: “Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, castinglots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: "Theydivided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots." Sittingdown, they kept watch over Him there. And they put up over His head theaccusation written against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. Then tworobbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left. Andthose who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, "Youwho destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You arethe Son of God, come down from the cross." Likewise the chief priestsalso, mocking with the scribes and elders, said, "He saved others;Himself He cannot save. If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come downfrom the cross, and we will believe Him. He trusted in God; let Him deliver Himnow if He will have Him; for He said, 'I am the Son of God.' " Even therobbers who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing.” Mark15:25-32 reads: “Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. And theinscription of His accusation was written above: THE KING OF THE JEWS. With Himthey also crucified two robbers, one on His right and the other on His left. Sothe Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And He was numbered with thetransgressors." And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging theirheads and saying, "Aha! You who destroy the temple and build it in threedays, save Yourself, and come down from the cross!" Likewise thechief priests also, mocking among themselves with the scribes, said, "Hesaved others; Himself He cannot save. Let the Christ, the King of Israel,descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Even those whowere crucified with Him reviled Him.” Atleast three times in the Gospels, the Holy Spirit seems to impress upon us thisstatement: "He saved others; Himself He cannot save." This iswhat they mocked Jesus with. My friend, my main point today is that if Hehad saved Himself, He could not have saved others. He came to seek and tosave that which was lost.  Jesusset an example for us as He humbled Himself and was obedient even to the deathof the cross. God foreordained in eternity past that He is the Lamb slain fromthe foundation of the world. The only way of salvation for mankind was forthere to be a perfect lamb substitute, and that Lamb was Jesus. Peterwould write later in 1 Peter 1:18-20: “Knowing that you were not redeemedwith corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conductreceived by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ,as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. He indeed was foreordainedbefore the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times foryou.”  Yes,my friend, if Jesus had saved Himself that day, and He could have come downfrom the cross. He could have called legions of angels, but He didn't becauseHe came to save you and me. What a Savior! We should be so thankful that He didnot save Himself so that He could save you and me with His death, His bloodatonement, His redemption on the cross of Calvary.  Thisshould also teach us that if we seek to save our lives for ourselves then wecannot save others. But when we lose our lives for Christ and the sake of the Gospelwe actually find it! (Mark 8:35).  Todayare you willing to lose your life, like Christ, and save others? Godbless!

1. The Cross Is Substitution: The Lord Jesus Dies in our Place. 2. The Cross Removes God's Wrath. 3. The Cross Declares us Righteous. 4. The Cross Brings Healing. 5. While Everything Is Under God, not Everything Is Yet Under the God-Man. 6. Jesus Died to Undo Adam's Sin and Bring in a New World Order.

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?

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

    Speaker: Todd Arnett

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.

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.

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!

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.
