This year we’re going to look at the story of Easter using some visual help from The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. We’ll not only look at the suffering endured for us by Jesus, but we’ll also consider the love that prompted such sacrifice.
Using an unlikely Easter passage, we will look at the resurrected Lion Of Judah, full of power and triumphant over death. We will also consider the implications of the resurrection for our daily lives.
In Like A Lion, Part 2, Jesus makes it clear in John 10:11-18 that no one took His life from Him, but he laid it down willingly. Like Aslan, in The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, Jesus knew what had to be done and He did it because of His love. Enjoy this sermon as we explore this incredible love together.
Revelation 5:1-8 In verse five, John describes Jesus as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, and then in verse six, not a moment later, he turns around and says that Lion looks like a lamb that had been slaughtered. How is it that you can have those two almost diametrically opposed images of Jesus within two verses in the same chapter of the same book? Which is it? The anwer is, it's both.
