About this sermon
Why a Messiah who suffered? To this day unbelievers mock the idea that the suffering of Jesus declared in the gospel message makes any sense. It is an offense, it is utter nonsense to most people on two basic fronts. First, there is the offense in stating that man needs such a Savior. It is offensive to many to say that all people are unacceptable to God by their very nature. That by nature and by choice, men are an offense to God deserving of God’s wrath. The second offense to the sensibilities of most people is the idea that even if there WAS such a dilemma (and there is), that it would be solved through the Son of God becoming a man and then dying on a cross. There should be no doubt then, that for 1st century Jewish Christians, and especially for 2nd and 3rd generation believers, the suffering of Jesus became an attack point for those trying to dissuade them from their faith. In this section of Hebrews, the writer takes issue with the idea that perhaps the gospel message represents something unworthy of God. In this sermon, Pastor Caldwell will look at Christ’s suffering with God the Father in the place of focus.
