## Resource

What is our hope against a holy judge? A judge who cannot be arm-twisted or bribed, one who is perfectly righteous and perfectly just! When sinners, because of their sins, need acquittal before God the Judge, Jesus steps in as their worthy advocate. Mark Ben Thuku, in this sermon, seeks to show us that Jesus is our only defense before the Father!
