Unreasonable Sacrifice
Cross Church
Speaker: Nick Floyd

Summary
Jesus instituted communion with his disciples before his crucifixion, establishing himself as the Passover lamb whose substitutionary atonement covers sin. The sermon explores how Jesus' unreasonable sacrifice—his death in place of sinners—demonstrates God's grace and calls believers to remember this central mystery of the faith.
Highlights
Jesus in my place. If you don't get anything else today, I want you to get that. That is the gospel story, Jesus in my place.
Do not let the pain of betrayal take control of your family this Christmas, or take control of your friendships or your work relationships this Christmas. Jesus was betrayed, and listen to me, he still loved people, and he still opened his heart to people, he still forgave people.
Because he was broken, you don't have to be any longer.
