Did the Lord Jesus Christ come to lead a revolt against the Roman Empire? Some would come to make Him King, but that was not His way to victory according to Isa.42:1-3. His work was not to bring judgment upon the Gentiles, nor to punish sinners for their crimes against the Law and Justice, but to reconcile God to man. How? But the blood of His cross. Now God can be just and the Justifier of them that believe to the saving of their souls. Preaching Pastor Tom Newton, morning service of May 1, 2016.
