Preaching Podcast Ep. #101 - The Suffering Messiah (Pastor Jojo Baldo)

The Suffering Messiah

We are all for story lines where good trumps bad, and the hero emerges unscathed despite the number of enemies he had to face. What we forget though is the more common plot where the hero suffers much so that the greater number of people shall be set free.

This is the twist of the gospel of Jesus. "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

(Mark 10:45)

The Messiah had to suffer and die, for the rest of us to enjoy the gift of eternal life. This gospel core message has been the subject of people's unbelief, even adversarial reactions toward the message of Jesus.

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."

(1 Corinthians 1:18) 

Join us in this Sunday's worship service as Pastor Jojo Baldo explores the Suffering Messiah narrative in the Gospel according to Mark, and what it means to us in the present.
