Revealed: Part 1 of the Sermon Series ”Lift High the Cross”
from Second on the Mount · host Second Presbyterian Church
"Revealed: Part 1 of the Sermon Series Lift High the Cross" – John 13:36-14:7 Sermon by Dr. George C. Anderson from Sunday, February 26, 2023. "The cross reveals our sin. Yes, it does and you are going to hear that point made multiple times in our sermon series. But I think even more, the cross reveals our humanity. The cross reveals that we are not gods who can rise above our limits, but we are human and we need to accept it. Because Jesus, who dies, submits to the limits of being human, there is more to be found in the truth of the cross than the condemnation of sin. There can be found the affirmation that God found human life worth living. We will not be perfect, but if God finds life among us worth living despite having to die… then life is worth living despite our having to die. By accepting death, Jesus showed us how to live."
