2025 Good Friday - The Greatest Comeback in History

In this riveting reflection on the message of the cross, we're challenged to confront the scandalous nature of our faith. The sermon delves deep into 1 Corinthians 1, where Paul boldly declares that the crucifixion - a symbol of shame and foolishness to the world - is actually God's wisdom and power. We're reminded that the gospel isn't meant to be palatable or easily digestible; it's meant to be transformative. The historical context provided helps us understand just how radical and offensive the idea of worshipping a crucified Savior was in the first century. This perspective invites us to examine our own comfort with the cross. Have we sanitized its message? Are we willing to embrace its full, shocking implications for our lives? As we contemplate the 'greatest setback in history' that became the greatest comeback, we're called to live out the cross daily - not just in our words, but in our sacrificial love for others.
