Jesus knew us, loved us, & went to the cross with us on His mind.

This Easter sermon explores what occupied Jesus' thoughts as He approached and endured the crucifixion. The pastor emphasizes that Jesus knew us completely yet loved us enough to sacrifice everything. The message focuses on three primary concerns Jesus had: rescuing humanity from hell, restoring the intimate fellowship with God that existed in Eden, and making communion with the Holy Spirit available to all believers. The sermon presents salvation as "the greatest exchange the world has ever known" and emphasizes that Jesus is the answer to every human need, offering hope to those who feel hopeless and life to those who feel dead in their sins.
