The Exalted One
On Easter Sunday, the preacher at Cross Point Church shares a sermon focused on the significance of the good news of Jesus Christ, drawing from Acts chapter 2. He begins by discussing the positive effects of good news on individuals and then transitions to proclaim the greatest news of all: the story of Jesus of Nazareth. The sermon highlights Jesus' life and the miracles He performed, which were signs of His divine nature and Messiahship. Despite this, Jesus was rejected and crucified, fulfilling God's plan for redemption. The preacher underscores the resurrection as evidence of God's satisfaction with Jesus' sacrifice and as proof that Jesus is the Messiah. He also points out that Jesus' current position at the right hand of God signifies His eternal role as protector and intercessor for His people. The sermon concludes with a powerful call to repentance and faith, assuring the congregation that salvation is available to all who call on Jesus, regardless of past sins.
