Good Friday

Sermon for Good Friday

[Machine transcription] Jesus said, I am the light of the world, whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life. Dear children of the light, this Lenten season we have watched and reflected on the journey of our Lord Jesus Christ from Galilee where in Luke 9 it records when the days drew near for him to be taken up.

Good Friday
John 18:1-19:42

Grace, mercy, and peace to you from God our Father, and from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. One of the unique aspects of this arrangement of the Good Friday Tenebrae service is the placement of the sermon near the beginning, before we’ve even had the lessons for the day. Granted, we have responsively read the prophecy of Isaiah regarding the Savior’s…
