Sunday's sermon: Jesus Christ Was Raised for Our Justification https://www.scottlapierre.org/raised-to-life-for-our-justification/
Romans 4:25 says, “[Jesus Christ] was delivered up for our trespasses and raised to life for our justification.” The first half looks back to Good Friday when Jesus died for our sins. The second half moves to Easter Sunday. This is what we’re celebrating today: Jesus being resurrected for our justification. Justified means, “Declared righteous.” What does this have to do with Jesus’s resurrection? Jesus is our Substitute. He died in our place and took the punishment we deserve. If He stayed dead that would mean He was a sinner and unable to save us. But his resurrection reveals he is our perfect substitute who could die in our place and take the punishment we deserve.

Jesus stood before Pilate falsely accused, unjustly treated, and surrounded by hostility — yet He remained calm, composed, and fully trusting His Father.
In this message, we draw three powerful lessons:
1️⃣ Trust in God produces composure in trials
2️⃣ The Innocent One suffered for the guilty
3️⃣ Jesus isn’t on trial—we are
If you're walking through difficulty or injustice, Christ’s example will strengthen your faith and point you to hope.

Few passages expose the darkness of the human heart—and the beauty of Christ’s innocence—like Jesus’ illegal trial before the religious leaders.
He was mocked, blindfolded, beaten, and condemned… all while remaining the sinless Son of God who willingly suffered for our salvation.
This message walks verse-by-verse through Luke 22:63–71 to show:
• the wickedness revealed in human depravity
• the innocence and obedience of Christ
• why Jesus had to suffer this way
• what this means for your walk with God today
