Fifth Sunday in Lent
Mar 17, 2024 • Pastor Paul Becker
In both His teaching and saving action, Jesus shows that following the ways of this world leads to strife and senseless suffering while He alone leads us on the path of life where we find fullness of joy and freedom from fear.
1. Their “great ones” exercise authority over them
a. We still strive for positions of power and influence
b. The world knows only how to profit at another’s expense
2. Christ calls us to contrast with the ways of this age
a. Yet it shall not be so among you
b. Success comes through serving others
3. Christ leads us on the path of life to fullness of joy
a. The Son of Man came to give His life for us
b. In His life we find joy and freedom from fear
