    Humiliated Redemption Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Mar 5, 2021
     | 2,920 views

    Stripping Jesus naked and gambling over his clothes is business as usual for the Roman soldiers. However, because the humiliation of Jesus is ordained by God for our redemption, we cannot treat the nakedness of our crucified Jesus in a business as usual fashion.

    Message John 19:23-24 Why Are You Naked? Humiliated Redemption During the crucifixion of Jesus there is a situation which arises that adds to the humiliation that Jesus is experiencing. John 19:23-24 gives us the most comprehensive description. 23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his ...read more

    This message focuses on the words of Jesus from the Cross. As we think about the final words of Jesus as he hung on the cross we begin to understand the pain, passion and love Jesus had for you and for me.

    The centrality of the cross. Our works, deeds and actions do not make us righteous. It is only in the cross of Christ that we can boast.

    This time of year, we get excited and touched by Baby Jesus in a cradle but you can’t separate the cradle from the cross. This gift of Jesus comes with a sacrificial cost. A lot of us understand the cradle but we fail to connect the cradle with the cross.

    The Gift with a Cost Isaiah 53:1-12 Christmas has become the #1 self-focused consumer day in America. It’s so interesting that Good Friday leads into Easter and Black Friday leads us into the Christmas holidays. The church needs to lead a movement of conspiracy to reclaim Christmas from ...read more

    Daniel and his friends were strangers in a strange land and were surrounded by paganism. How did they deal with standing up for God in that setting, and how can we stand up for God in an increasingly offensive world?

    I read the true story about a wife who liked to make sure she had meals ready to cook. She made “freezer meals” ahead of time and carefully noted what they were in large clear letters. There was "Meatloaf", "Pot Roast", "Steak and Vegetables”, "Chicken and Dumplings" or "Beef Pot Pie." But whenever ...read more

    Jesus has just declared that the Father and He are one, one in intention and one in mind and heart. The Jerusalem crowd that Jesus has been preaching to heard His words as blasphemy, and that offense carried the death penalty.

    Friday of the Fifth Week in Lent 2025 Today’s Gospel reading from St. John continues the narrative we heard yesterday from an earlier chapter. You may recall that incident. Jesus declared that Abraham rejoiced to see the day of Jesus. Almost certainly that means the birth of Isaac and perhaps even ...read more

    We are in a battle against spiritual forces and to not only defend ourselves but go on the offensive with the Gospel, we need to wear the full armour of God, not just one or two items, as if we do not need God for everything, but all six.
