Christ’s humiliation in the incarnation – Firm Foundations #26

Christ is a king, yet he overturned all our notions of kingly privilege. He humbled himself even to the point of death. What does that mean for his followers?

Find out more about the Firm Foundations course by watching the Introduction. The previous session (part 25, on Christ’s kingly office) is here.

The God who dies – Apostle’s Creed #6

If it’s amazing that Jesus came as a man, it’s doubly so that he came and died. But why did he die? And what does it mean that we should do in response?

Suggested Reading

One of the best books about the cross is John Stott “The Cross of Christ”. It actually appeared in my video 10 books to renew your mind – you can check out what I said about it there.

When it’s complete, this course will be available on the courses page.

People sometimes talk about destiny or fate – but what does it mean? Jesus was destined to die on the cross – but that’s good news for us. And we, too, can share in his destiny.

This is the third of a short, three-part series in the run-up to Easter looking at the passion narrative in John’s Gospel. Watch the previous one here.

The Cross makes us family – John 19:17-27 Sermon

When we think about the cross, we often think about it in individual terms: “God forgives my sin”. But the cross has important implications for how we relate to others as well.

Note – unlike previous weeks, the video goes straight into the sermon and doesn’t start with the reading. If you’d like to read the passage online you can do so via Bible Gateway.

This is the second of a short, three-part series in the run-up to Easter looking at the passion narrative in John’s Gospel. Watch the previous one here.
