Welcome to Hope Presbyterian Church!

We encourage parents to worship together with their children, as they too are members of God’s covenant family. We ask the rest of Hope family to be patient and “let the little children come” to Jesus (Mt. 19:14).


sermon notes

Because Jesus, the innocent King, died in our place, we, the guilty sinners, are delivered from judgment.

I. The Innocent King

II. The Guilty Sinners


Reflection GROUPS - 12:15PM

 

Reflection Questions (Applying the Gospel to Our Lives):

1.  When you come across a passage like today's, are you more inclined to focus on the sins of others than to examine your own heart?  Does this passage convict you of your own sinfulness?

2.     How have you responded to the grace of Jesus Christ, the innocent King who willingly died in the place of guilty sinners like us?

3.     Do you truly acknowledge Jesus as King over your life? Are there areas in which you struggle to submit to His authority?

4.     In what ways do we resemble Pilate (evading responsibility), Jewish leaders (acting out of envy, rivalry), and the crowd (yielding to influence of others)?  How do these same sinful tendencies appear in our lives?

5. Barabbas, a guilty man, was set free, while Jesus, the innocent King, was condemned to die. How does this remarkable exchange point to Christ's substitutionary death for sinners? What does it teach you about your own need for God's grace?

 

Response Song

How Deep the Father’s Love for Us

How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He would give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no powr, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
