Sermon # 7 - Our Life's Purpose Series

Jesus Christ: Our Model Of Suffering

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 20, 2022

In the eighteenth chapter of John's gospel, we are presented with the beginnings of the sufferings that the Lord Jesus would undergo for the sake of our redemption, paying a debt He did not owe for fallen humanity who could never pay it.
