About this sermon

Many people wonder, and even become angry, about God’s ways. In this video for Good Friday, Fr. Mike explains why God’s answers often seem like contradictions to us. While Jesus dying on the Cross makes no sense according to human wisdom, according to God’s perfect wisdom, the Cross answers all our most burning questions in a way only God can answer them. Fr. Mike's videos are also available as podcasts. Find them at http://ascensionpresents.com/category/frmikepodcast/.
