Week 1:
The road to the cross began the moment sin entered into the world in the Garden, when humanity and all creation were broken.
Week 2:
On the road to the cross, we see God as a promise keeper, first with His covenant throughout the Old Testament, and then with the arrival of Jesus establishing a new covenant.

-As Jesus picked up the scroll, you have the Old Testament being read by the One who would fulfill its promise and introduce the new covenant.
-Isaiah speaks of the Spirit of the Lord, and now Jesus is walking in the power of that same Spirit.

The question we often ask is "why did Jesus die?" But today I want us to ask the question "why did Jesus live?"
-If the cross was all that was needed, why didn’t Jesus just show up, appear out of the wilderness, and go to the cross?
-What was the purpose of Jesus' life and ministry on earth?

Why did Jesus live? Why did he minister here on earth?
To show us the Father.
-Literally, when you see Jesus in the pages of your Bible, you see God Himself.
-"Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.” John 14:9
-Jesus didn't just come to pay the ultimate price for our sins. He also came to show us how to live.
-Because you’ve seen Jesus walk this life, you know exactly what it’s like for him to be walking with you right now.
