This message explores the magnificent paradox that is at the fundamental core of the Gospel Message: That the living must die that they might experience eternal life with God the Father and Jesus Christ (John 17:3). This profound "simplicity that is in Christ" (2 Cor. 11:3) of which He not only preached, but practiced is at the heart and core of approaching baptism and our personal renewal of the New Covenant with God the Father through Jesus Christ at Passover.
