The Beginning of Jesus' Passion: Great Tribulation

If we want to understand what Jesus says will happen, we need to know what has happened. History is a foundation to the future. In today's sermon, Dr. John will take us back to Israel's past and explain the "abomination of desolation." We will see the dark days of Jerusalem's destruction. The glimmer of light in this darkness is the certain victorious return of our Lord.

The Beginning of Jesus' Passion: "Passion" is defined as a compelling emotion or feeling. The word fits a wide range of experiences, from our favourite sports team, a hobby, a cause that captures us, and of course, our love. "Passion" applies to Jesus in His suffering and death. In this four week series, Dr. John traces through Matthew the experience of Jesus heading to the cross. Listen for the compelling emotion that led Jesus step by step. It wasn't fear, but love and joy that moved Him.
