When we think about why we celebrate Christ’s crucifixion it can feel a bit morbid. On the surface, it may seem to some as if we’re glorifying the murder of an innocent man! Pastor Mike Fabarez reminds us the real reason we celebrate is because through it, Jesus defeated death and sin by rising from the dead.
Jesus isn't just a New Testament figure. He appears prominently throughout the Old Testament...and you can see it most poignantly in the ancient song book of Israel: The Psalms. Explore and appreciate the connections in the Psalms to the Messiah in the New Testament that point to his supremacy.
If you want to gain a profound understanding of the Messiah in the Old Testament, be sure to request the book Songs of the Son by Daniel Stevens.
