The Finality of Jesus
Monday, November 20, 2023
Because Jesus claims that he’s the final word, that salvation is completely by grace through him, the Pharisees and the Herodians band together to kill him.
This teaches us not only how radical Jesus’ way of salvation is, but that if you really hear it, it will create all sorts of division in your own heart. Whenever the real Jesus is revealed, there’s a juxtaposition of both attraction and revulsion. They both happen together.
This passage shows us 1) that Christ is offensive, 2) to whom he is offensive, and 3) why he is offensive.
This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 5, 1997. Series: The Real Jesus Part 2; His Life. Scripture: Mark 2:23-3:6.

Do You Know the True Meaning of Christmas?
Despite the abundance of Christian references to Christmas all through popular culture, how many of us have truly examined the hard edges of the Nativity story in the Bible? In Tim Keller’s book Hidden Christmas he provides a moving and intellectually provocative examination of the meaning of Jesus’ birth. Hidden Christmas is our thank-you for your gift to Gospel in Life to help others discover how the birth of Jesus can transform their life.
