Passover, Covenant and Redemption | Rev. Adam Hamilton | Church of the Resurrection

About this sermon

The cross is not just a mechanism or transaction—it is a message. Pastor Adam shares how, for years, many have struggled to understand how Jesus’ death brings salvation. Rather than seeing the cross as a formula, we should ask: What is God saying to us? Through the lens of the Exodus story, the Passover lamb, and the covenants God made throughout history, we begin to see the cross as God’s ultimate declaration of love, redemption, and freedom. Jesus became the Passover Lamb to set us free—not just from sin but from fear, shame, and everything that enslaves us. He established a new covenant, one not written on stone but on our hearts. The sacrifice on the cross was not about paying a debt to the enemy, but about redeeming us, purchasing our freedom, and making us sons and daughters of God. We are no longer bound to our past, our sins, or our mistakes—Jesus has already paid the price. This sermon challenges us to see the cross as more than an event in history—it’s a personal invitation. If Jesus has already ransomed us, why do we still live as if we are in chains? What sins, fears, or regrets are we holding onto when He has already set us free? The message of the cross is clear: You are redeemed, you are loved, and you are no longer a slave. If you’ve ever struggled to understand the meaning of the cross, this message is for you. Watch now and discover the freedom, grace, and hope that Jesus has already won for you.
