Easter at Southview — Bearing the Cross

Easter at Southview — Bearing the Cross

It is Easter at Southview! On Palm Sunday, Pastor Nathan Wakefield preaches from the book of Luke, showing us that bearing the cross requires that we look forward to eternity and not become too focused on the short term. Video of the worship service is available beginning Sunday at 9:30 AM at https://southviewbaptist.org/live.

1. God incarnate modeled complete self‑sacrificial love (21‑22).

• The title Son of Man was a purposeful choice.
• The Son of Man was born to die.
• The Son of Man defeated death.

Action: Double check — have you accepted God's self‑sacrificial love?
2. God incarnate showed His followers what it means to bear the cross (23‑26).

• Cross bearing is not normal for us and so it must be renewed regularly (23).
• Cross bearing presents the ultimate paradox (24).
• Cross bearing requires you to look further than you may be used to looking (26).

Action: Check your eyes. Where are you looking?
3. The followers of God must look to the "not‑yet" while embracing the "already" (27).

• The exegetical question: to what was Jesus referring?
• The joy of the "already."
• The expectation of the "not‑yet."

Action: Take a moment to thank God for the "already" while you dream of the "not‑yet."
