## Resource

There are moments in life when we look back on great sorrow and wonder how we would have responded if we had been there. At the cross, the noise of the crowd, the weight of rejection, and the silence of suffering all press in with one question: where would we stand? In Isaiah 53, we see the suffering servant who was despised, pierced, and crushed, yet willingly carried the sin and grief of others. This Easter, we consider what Christ has done for us; facing both the cost of sin and the depth of God’s mercy, and remembering that the story of suffering does not end in the grave. Come stand near the cross, behold the Lamb, and rejoice in the hope of the Risen Savior! Recorded April 5th, 2026Message by Pastor Tim WardScripture: Isaiah 53
