Will Christ Be Humiliated on the Last Day? To the Class of 2025

Summary

The sermon theme is following Jesus by denying oneself and taking up one's cross, as taught in Mark 8:34-38. It emphasizes that saving one's life by clinging to earthly comfort leads to loss, while losing one's life for Christ leads to salvation. The practical takeaway is that true discipleship requires seeing through superficial comforts to embrace the deeper reality of Christ's call, even when it means sacrifice.
