About this sermon
Why did Jesus have to die? What's the deal with sacrifice? Couldn’t God just… forgive? In this Good Friday teaching, Dr. John Ortberg walks through the deeper meaning of the cross. A story that reveals: We all need help The real problem isn’t “out there”… it’s in us And the power of evil is not defeated by force…but by self-giving love On the cross, Jesus didn’t just suffer. He absorbed evil without returning it.He out-loved hatred.He defeated sin by refusing to stop loving. And in doing so, he changed everything. The invitation is not just to believe in the cross… but to live it. 📚 Today's Resources: John H.
