3 Sermons Tagged "Injustice"

This is the sixth sermon from the 2023 Lent series "Why Must the Servant of the LORD Suffer?" Pastor Schurman explains that Jesus was arrested and brought to court through oppression, and his crucifixion was a result of injustice in the Sanhedrin and the Roman government. However, God used this to put our sins -- including our own oppression, injustice, and rebellion -- on Christ so that we are saved.

After Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, the chief priests made their decision to kill Jesus. After they captured him, they brought him into the Sanhedrin and questioned him, looking for reasons to have him put to death. Jesus' answers serve as both a declaration of his deity and as a prophecy of his eternal rule in Heaven.

The Apostle Peter's message to slaves, encouraging them to submit to their masters, teaches us how and why we are to bear the injustices that come into our lives.
