Sermon for the Sunday before the Elevation of the Cross on September 13, 2026 (John 3:13-17).

Sermon on five verses from John 3 on the centrality of the Cross in the biblical teaching and the reason for it - the love of God. In these verses Jesus makes two references to the Son of Man. This sermon addresses the importance of that title by pointing to two scriptural prototypes, Ezekiel and the Suffering Servant in Second Isaiah, the latter of whom begets progeny through the word (the seed of instruction). #bible #gospel #scriptureexplained #jesus #orthodoxy #biblepassage #bibleverse #sermon #love #holyspirit
