Responding to Jesus: The Scandal of the Gospel

A sincere belief is no measure of
it being true or false.
The Jewish Sanhedrin was
sincere.
So, too, was Pontius Pilate.
Although last to reach their
conclusion, so too the crowds of
Jerusalem were sincere.
All were sincere in their measure of Jesus.
And all were sincerely wrong.
Sincerity is to truth like your car's accelerator
is to its direction. Going faster has nothing to do
with whether you'll end up in the right place!
Yet around the world today, mankind seems
intent on accelerating in error when it comes to
Jesus.
It's no wonder we're so far off course.

Far more important than sincerity is right belief.
This weekend, we'll see in Scripture mankind's
final measure of Jesus before Calvary.
Then we'll see God's scandalous response.
I hope you'll join us this Sunday as we turn to
Mark 15 and consider, "Responding to Jesus:
The Scandal of the Gospel."
