Good Friday: a text that spans Jesus' betrayal and arrest, accusation and sentencing, and, finally, His death on the cross. Christians are tempted to point fingers at Judas, the Jews, Pilate, and the disciples for failing to act, but, at the end of the day, there's no one to point your finger at. It was our sin that killed Jesus. Christ suffered a brutal death to take your sin into His body. And on Good Friday, we're left terror stricken at the depth of our sin and selfishness that killed Christ. As you'll hear in our conversation with Sarah, there are many, many places in this text that you could preach from. Instead of going verse-by-verse, we tried to give a broad picture of what's in store in these two chapters of John. And, instead of Mason reading all 82 verses to you, we encourage you to click the link below to read the passage before listening to our conversation.
