Jesus engaged in a battle of cosmic proportions on Good Friday. But instead of dressing for battle, he was "stripped down" and then mockingly dressed in a robe. Instead of asserting his authority, Jesus sets aside his glory. He does it for us. We share in Christ's victory only when we too, are stripped of all our pretenses and excuses. We come with empty hands, to be raised with Jesus in glory. Join us this Sunday, March 8 at 10a.m. as we consider the "unlikely weapons" Jesus chose to defeat sin and evil.
