Sunday Morning Worship: Lent III, Sunday-Marc 3, 2024

Lenten Sermon Series: "This Land of Woe"

Msg #4: "Jesus is Scourged"

Sermon: As we follow the story of Jesus' Passion, we see His suffering increase. Jesus has been arrested, and a judicial sentence is handed down. To add to His great mental anguish, Jesus is now publicly scourged. His innocent body receives the lashes reserved for the guilty, while the guilty one (Barrabas) goes free. How are we to make sense of physical suffering, especially of the unjust sort? How can we reconcile our personal suffering with a gracious God who only gives good gifts to His children? At the pillar of suffering, Jesus leads us to the truth.

Scriptures: 1 Peter 2:15-25; Psalm 73:1-5, 11-14, 16-19, 25-28; Mark 15:6-15
