The Great Reversal

Kyle Kauffman

There are so many things in this life that can cause us to weep. Broken bodies, broken relationships, broken hopes, a broken world, and many more things cause us to suffer under the weight of life in a fallen world and bring tears to our eyes. This is why Jesus first words (question) on the heels of his resurrection are both so shocking and comforting… “Woman, why are you weeping?”

John 20:1-18

The End…

Kyle Kauffman

There are moments in life where we must entrust things into the care of other people. What we are doing in those moments is taking something valuable and committing it to someone else to care for. We are telling that other person; I trust you to take care of this. Jesus had committed his whole life to living for the Father. He shows that even in death he is committed to doing God’s will and that even death cannot separate him from the loving care of his Father.

Luke 23:44-46

Finished!

Joel Wood

To finish something gives us a sense of accomplishment, enables us to rest, and frees us to simply enjoy life for a little bit. Jesus completed the greatest work on the cross. Jesus achieved the greatest accomplishment on the cross. And because of that we are free to rest and live under the words… “It is finished!”

John 19:28-30

Thirst

Kyle Kauffman

One of the ways to speak of unsatisfied longings in our life is to use the language of thirst. Just as our mouths grow dry and our bodies long for water to quench our thirst, so also our hearts and souls thirst for what we believe will satisfy us.

John 19:28-30

Forsaken

Kyle Kauffman

We no longer live under the fear of wrath, but live under the delight of God’s acceptance of us. As such we freed to enjoy God and to know that he will never leave or forsake us.

Mark 15:33-39; Psalm 22

Family

Kyle Kauffman

Jesus views his family in a unique way. He is not controlled by his family and he warns against the idolatry of family. Yet he honors his family and cares for them even in the moments of greatest agony. He expands his family to include all who believe and obey him. In Jesus death, we see him creating a new family at the cross. No longer is family simply defined by our own definitions, but it is defined by Christ. As we look to the cross, we are welcomed into his family. And as part of his family, we are cared for by him and called to care for one another.

John 19:23-27

Salvation

Joel Wood

To say that salvation is found in Christ alone is deeply offensive. It means that all of our “good deeds,” all the things that we look at in ourselves to take pride in or boast about count for nothing. It means that we are no better than a criminal who mocks Jesus as he dies. It means that there is no salvation outside of Christ. But to say that salvation is found in Christ alone is also deeply astonishing. It means that salvation is instant and free. It means salvation is fully dependent on another. It means that what was destroyed through one man’s sin is fully restored through another man’s obedience. So that when we believe in him, we get to enjoy him and all that is his.

Luke 23:39-43

Forgiveness

Kyle Kauffman

Forgiveness is so central to Christianity that we can easily forget what a wonder it is that we are forgiven. Jesus’s first words on the cross open our eyes to see our own sinful depravity and God’s glorious grace.

Luke 23:32-38
