The Story of Easter: Jesus from Genesis to Revelation Easter Series 2025 Week 3 – Propitiation 1 John 1:1 - 2:6

Dr.Jay Worthington

 We continue our journey through the Bible with our Story of Easter. We have reached the climax of the story: the cross. But why is the cross considered the climax? What exactly occurred on the cross that opened the door for our salvation? It couldn't have been just a physical event, as thousands of people were executed on Roman crosses. There must have been something more happening—something spiritual and cosmic. This week, we will explore what it means that Jesus is the propitiation for our sins.

Series Overview

Sometimes, during the Easter season, we focus so tightly on the cross and empty tomb that we miss the larger story of redemption. This year, in our Easter sermon series, we will zoom out and look at the full story of redemption from Genesis through Revelation. From the beginning to the end of scripture, we will examine why we need a savior, why Jesus had to be fully man, what Jesus accomplished on the cross, and what the empty tomb means for our eternity. Don’t miss The Story of Easter; it is Jesus’ story, but it is also yours.
