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.

Crowds followed Jesus everywhere—but crowds aren’t the same as disciples.
In the Gospels, people could be near Jesus physically while being far from Him spiritually. Jesus defines discipleship clearly: deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him (Luke 9:23; 14:27).
In this message, we look at the difference between being part of the crowd and truly belonging to Christ, and how Simon of Cyrene carrying the cross behind Jesus becomes a living picture of discipleship (Luke 23:26–27).
