Sermon
Darkness Then Light - "Despising The Shame"
Speaker
Samuel Jang
Scripture
Hebrews 10:4-7, 10
4 It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:
“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;
6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
7 Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll—
I have come to do your will, my God.’”
-
10 And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
-
Hebrews 12:2
..fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
