A Certain Hope | Life Laid Down | Luke 23:44-56 | December 7, 2025

Jesus dies on the cross and is buried in the tomb. In this atoning sacrifice, Jesus lays down His life. He bears the weight of sin and wrath on Himself in His death, tears the curtain in two, and breathes His last. There are witnesses to these events that marvel at Jesus' divinity and show respect and love towards Him. Christians today are to model Christ's example and lay down their lives to Him and to others.
