Two ways of seeing the death of Jesus

Two ways of seeing the death of Jesus

Matthew 26-27

How are Christians supposed to feel about the death of Jesus … sad? angry? happy? In this message Pastor Murray explores this question. Certainly the events leading to the crucifixion are excruciating. The graphic nature of the gospel accounts is meant to fill us with horror. What Jesus suffered on our behalf was unbelievably cruel. But there was a divine twist to this cruelty. In the tragedy of the cross, God was defeating Satan and opening the way for sinners to be forgiven and made into new people. By faith in Jesus we are those people, and for that we should be very, very thankful
