The Cross, Now What?
This message examines two distinct responses to the death of Christ as described in John 19:31-42. The first response is from the Roman soldiers, who carry out their duties without personal involvement, reflecting a sense of duty rather than heartfelt devotion. The second response comes from Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, who boldly claim Jesus' body for burial, demonstrating a passionate devotion to Christ. The speaker challenges listeners to reflect on their own responses to Christ's sacrifice, urging them to move beyond mere duty to a genuine, heartfelt commitment to their faith.
