Luke 17:3-4 ties forgiveness to repentance: “If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him…and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.” So, is repentance a condition for forgiveness, or should we forgive people unconditionally? Unfortunately, scholars don’t agree. There are two groups:
—One group says forgive whether people repent or not. This is known as unconditional forgiveness.
—Another group says forgive if people repent. This is known as conditional forgiveness. I am in this camp.

Exodus 12 and Luke 23 connect in a powerful way: Jesus the Passover Lamb is examined publicly and declared innocent—yet still punished so the guilty can go free. This message highlights the necessity of a spotless substitute and the sobering reality that affirming truth about Jesus isn’t the same as saving faith.

Sermon:
The humility of Christ is one of the most astonishing truths in all of Scripture.
Though Jesus is fully God, He did not come into the world displaying royal splendor. He was born in poverty, raised in obscurity, rejected by His own people, mocked as a king, and crucified on a cross—yet He never stopped being King.
In this message from Philippians 2, I explore what Scripture teaches about Christ’s humility, the Incarnation, and why Jesus laid aside His visible glory without surrendering His deity or authority.
