Episode Synopsis

By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. (Hebrews 11:27) 1/ Christ's sufferings shewed by the mount of all the prophets . 2/ Christ has fulfilled that foretold . 3/ Where our sin is seen to be the cause of Christ's sufferings we are called to repentance and not to despair . *Sermon Summary:* The sermon explores the profound significance of Christ's sufferings as foretold by the prophets, emphasizing that these sufferings, rather than his birth or resurrection, constitute the core of God's plan for redemption. Drawing from Old Testament passages like Genesis 3, Psalm 22, and Isaiah 53, the message highlights how Christ's voluntary humiliation and obedience, culminating in his death on the cross, uniquely identifies him as the suffering saviour who bore the wrath of God in place of his people. Ultimately, the sermon calls listeners who realise it was their sins that caused the Lord's sufferings to repentance and conversion. Assuring such that the gospel freely provides all they need, giving repentance, and every blessing flowing from Christ's sacrifice. They will receive the forgiveness of sins and anticipate the refreshing blessings that flow from God's presence.
