New Testament (56)
  1. Easter moves, Easter grows, Easter is transitive. It affects objects, it changes people, it does stuff.
  2. All will see His coming. All will see you in your appearance with Him. Until then, hear Him: Christ is dead and risen. Hear Him about you too: You are dead, and you too are risen in Him.
  3. He chooses to become least, to go down, to become nothing, to empty Himself, to humble Himself, to become obedient even to the point of death, the death of a cross. That is the mind of Christ.
  4. At the Supper Christ established on Maundy Thursday, you receive the fruits of that sacrifice: his body and blood given for you.
  5. Christ’s throne is the cross: Crowned with thorns, robed in mockery, surrounded by criminals.
  6. Location determines reality, and when you are in Christ, you do not have less condemnation, or delayed condemnation. You just have none.
  7. Resurrection is breaking into darkness. The darkness has not comprehended it, cannot overcome, and cannot hold it back.
  8. The right sermon will connect our present suffering with Christ’s historic suffering as the perfect entree for delivering His work on our behalf.
  9. Faith, the reliance of your hearers in utter dependence on the promise delivered to them by the promise of Christ, is, indeed, a worthy goal of your preaching. But faith is never created by talking about faith!
  10. Where Sin’s presence corrodes, Christ’s heals. Where Sin multiplies death, Christ overflows with life.
  11. Transfiguration looks like one thing. The majesty mockery of Christ’s passion looks like another.
  12. Christ crucified changes everything for the world which is now under judgment for not recognizing God’s son.
