The Suffering of Christ

Join us for the season of lent as we walk through aspects of Christ’s suffering and their Old Testament connections

This Lenten journey traces the cross through the story of Scripture—from Exodus to Easter morning. Each week reveals that Calvary was not an interruption in God’s plan, but its fulfillment. What began in the shadows of the Old Testament comes fully into focus in Jesus Christ.

Week 1 — “This Is My Body”
We begin at a table. Before there was a cross on a hill, there was bread broken and a cup lifted. The Passover becomes the Lord’s Supper, and Jesus interprets His coming suffering not as tragedy, but as gift. The cross is first understood as grace received.

Week 2 — “Strike the Rock”
In the wilderness, the rock is struck and living water flows. Paul tells us that Rock was Christ. Judgment falls once, and life pours out. At the cross, blood and water flow—not because we earned it, but because God absorbs what would have destroyed us.

Week 3 — “Purge Me With Hyssop”
After judgment comes cleansing. Hyssop once applied the blood of sacrifice; at the cross it is lifted to Jesus’ lips. The cross does more than spare us—it purifies and restores us.

Week 4 — “The Curse He Carried”
From Eden’s thorns to Calvary’s crown, Scripture tells the story of a curse humanity could not undo. On a tree of shame, Christ bears what we could never carry, turning the symbol of judgment into the means of redemption.

Week 5 — “The One Who Goes Free”
The crowd chooses Barabbas. The guilty walks free; the innocent King is condemned. Like the scapegoat sent into the wilderness, sin is transferred and carried away. Christ stands in our place so we may stand forgiven.

Week 6 — Palm Sunday
A dramatic presentation that invites us to enter the tension of Holy Week—the cheers, the confusion, and the coming cross.

Week 7 — “It Is Finished—and It Is Begun”
The cry from the cross is not defeat but completion. The Lamb who was slain now reigns. Resurrection does not erase the cross—it confirms it. What was finished in suffering is begun in victory.
