Description
He Suffered Under Pontius Pilate | The Apostles’ Creed
In this sermon, Tim unpacks one of the most sobering lines of the Apostles’ Creed: “He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended to the dead.”
Drawing from Matthew 27:11 –54, Tim explores:
- Why Jesus’ death is significant — the reality of his true humanity and what it means for our salvation.
- What Jesus’ death accomplished — redemption, reconciliation, justification, holiness, victory, and more.
- How we now live — as a suffering people, as forgiven and free people, and as heralds of God’s kingdom.
The Creed reminds us that this is our story. Just as ANZAC Day shapes our national memory, the death and resurrection of Jesus shape our Christian identity.
