Jesus and Rome

In this week's sermon, Pastor Mark Deering discusses how Jesus' interactions with Pontius Pilate in the Gospels reveal important truths about the nature of Jesus' kingdom. While Pilate saw Jesus' kingship as a political threat, Jesus made it clear that his kingdom was not of this world, but rather was based on people knowing and following the truth that He embodied. Pastor Mark emphasizes that the cross is central to understanding Jesus' kingdom, as it shows both how we become citizens (through Jesus' atoning sacrifice) and the way we are called to live as citizens (by imitating Jesus' self-sacrificial example).
