Calvary ~ St. George's Sermon Podcast

There is something scandalous about who Jesus is and what he offers us through his death and resurrection.

Through his death and resurrection, Jesus Christ offers us his body and blood, to bring us into eternal life. We celebrate this each week in the sacrament of the Eucharist, which is an outward and visible sign of the inward and spiritual grace inside us.

Jesus is the bread that comes down from heaven, that gives us life eternal. In Christ, God offers us both knowledge and food, sustaining our entire person.

God doesn’t deal with the sin of the world by instituting a program of moral improvement. Nor does God work by micromanaging evil. Rather, from the cross, we observe God drowns evil in a deluge of grace, mercy, and forgiveness. God sends his Son in the flesh to put sin to death once and for all.

It is not in our achievements, but in our weaknesses, that God's power is brought to its full, glorious display.

The disciples struggled with doubt and so do we. By the Holy Spirit, God works in our hearts through the teaching of his Word, the offer of his peace, and the eucharistic meal, to grow our belief in his resurrection.

Jesus comes to the disciples in order to give them a Word. This Word turns fear into peace and doubt into faith. Christ continues to deliver this same Word to us through proclamation and the sacraments.
