About this sermon
How does Jesus change the world? Not through force. Not through control. Not by winning arguments. It’s through the cross. In this episode, John looks at a quote from Jesus during one of his most painful moments: “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” He draws people in not by power, but by self-giving love. Drawing from John 12, Luke 23, and the story of Jesus’ final hours, John shows how the cross reveals character under pressure: not retaliation, but surrender not condemnation, but forgiveness not control, but trust The truth is, the cross is more than a teaching. It’s a story. Even when life gets disappointing, or people let us down, or we feel hurt beyond measure, we can choose to double down on the cross. Remember: There is now, therefore, no condemnation. 📚 Today's Resources: René Girard and James G.
