Matthew 26:69-75; 27:11-64; 1 Peter 1:10-11 – Pondering Calvary – 0940B
Description
Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0940B recorded on September 30, 1984 teaching from Matthew 26:69-75; 27:11-64; 1 Peter 1:10-11 – Pondering Calvary.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens encourages listeners to seriously ponder Calvary and the profound meaning of Christ’s sacrifice, particularly drawing from the First Epistle of Peter. The message emphasizes that Peter, who initially denied Jesus, later wrote powerfully about the precious blood of Christ as the spotless Lamb of God, demonstrating a transformed understanding of the cross. Stevens argues that the core human problem is sinfulness—not merely a “bent to sin,” but an active love for it—and the only sufficient remedy is Jesus, who died once for all sin. Ultimately, Pastor Stevens calls for a shift from focusing on the mechanics of faith to fixing one’s gaze on Christ and accepting the transforming, costly nature of a committed Christian life.
