In John 12, as Jesus approaches the cross, He declares, “My soul is troubled.” This powerful moment reveals the weight of what He was about to endure—not just the physical pain of crucifixion, but the deeper agony of bearing our sin, facing separation from the Father, and enduring the judgment we deserved.
📖 Text: John 12:27–30
In this sermon, we explore:
1. The source of Jesus’ trouble — why the thought of the cross brought such anguish.
2. The source of His resolve — how Jesus willingly submitted to the Father’s will for the glory of God.
3. The source of our comfort — how His troubled soul secures our peace, hope, and eternal life.
The cross is not just an example of love, but the very place where Jesus took our place—bearing the wrath of God so we could be forgiven and made new. This is the heart of the gospel, and it is our greatest comfort when our own souls are troubled.
