    Our deepest and most intimate needs will never be filled with the temporal things of this world. They can only be found in a relationship with Jesus Christ. The secret of contentment is learning how to live godly lives in accordance with God and His word.

    This takes us to the central Scripture of this Sunday, the beautiful and even humorous tale of Zaccheus, the renegade Jew. I call him “renegade” because only such a person would collect taxes for the despised Roman occupiers of the Jewish homeland.

    "I thirst" is a statement from the cross that was only recorded by John in his gospel. I believe there were at least three reasons why God inspired John to record that statement. This sermon explores those three reasons.

    Last week, we explored the fourth statement from the cross, where Jesus cried out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" This cry revealed the spiritual agony Jesus experienced as He took on the sins of the world. Today, we will focus on the fifth statement, recorded only by John in his ...read more
