We enjoyed an amazing Sunday at Crestview yesterday celebrating Jesus’s death and having a Thanksgiving service together. In the morning, I preached from John 19:16b-42 on Jesus’s Death. Jesus prepared to die, triumphed through death, and did actually die. This is something we are to respond to by believing. And, for those of us who do believe, there is great comfort for us in His love while dying. He also, in actually dying, further qualified Himself as our faithful High Priest by facing death for us.
In the evening, we gathered together for our church-wide Thanksgiving Dinner. This special gathering is always a highlight of our church year.
