Judas Sermon

Matthew 26: 14-16; Matthew 27: 3-5

March 15, 2020 • Rev. Dr. Gerrit Dawson

Judas broke faith. We all break faith. But that doesn’t have to be the end like it was for Judas. We go in faith to our Father. We turn to his Son Jesus in faith that he can do more than we can possibly see right now. Don’t give up. Don’t give into despair. Don’t stay stuck with your life in your hands.

There’s no going back. Jesus is risen. Death is defeated. One man has shown himself to be Lord of life and death, Lord of all the cosmos. Once you know that, you can’t return to the old game of living just for yourself. You can’t think again that the point of your life is about being the you you dreamed up for yourself. It’s about shaping your life to love Jesus by knowing him for who he is and then loving his little ones in his name.

The Turning of the Tears

Mary turned round and saw Jesus. He spoke her name. And her tears were turned. He speaks your name as well, deeply into your heart. Jesus is the great turner of the tears. Jesus lives again. Arise!
