To The Cross
from Cornerstone Christian Center · host Jason Brown
Send us Fan MailJesus knows. Not in a vague, distant way, but in the gritty, lived way that meets you in the middle of pain, pressure, and the stuff you haven’t told anyone. With Easter two weeks away, we wrestle with a surprising challenge: what if God wants to do something today, not just on the “big” Sunday? We open with prayer for the hurting, then turn to Matthew 20 where Jesus tells His disciples exactly what’s coming: betrayal, suffering, the cross, and resurrection on the third day.From there, we zoom out to the mission Jesus gives His church. We talk discipleship, the Great Commission, and why following Jesus is more than a private faith. Then we step onto the Mount of Transfiguration in Matthew 17, where the disciples want to stay in the glory, but the Father’s words cut through everything: “Listen to Him.” That moment becomes a mirror for us. We can’t camp out in spiritual highs. We’re called to walk back down the mountain with His presence, His peace, and His purpose in our everyday lives.The message builds to the road to the cross where “Jesus knows” becomes personal. He knows the shame, the loneliness, the injustice, and the cost, yet He keeps moving because He loves us. And we don’t stop at the grave. We declare the best news straight: Jesus is alive, and His sacrifice covers our sin and brings real freedom. We close with a clear invitation to surrender your life to Christ, prepare your heart for communion, and take a practical next step in community.
