Coming up today, Pastor Greg Laurie addresses Jesus sacrifice. He was wounded for our transgressions.

He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment for our peace was upon him and by his stripes, we are healed.

Why did he die? Simple answer because he loved the people he was dying for and he loves you.

There are very few events of the past that we could rightfully say change the course of human history.

The invention of sliced bread, people often say it's the greatest things in sliced bread.

No, some might say air travel or telecommunications or penicillin. Today on a new beginning,

Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to the very moment our sins were paid in full. It's the singular event

that had eternal consequences and will consider what that event means for us.

Let me start with a question. What is the moment of your life for you experience the most pain?

The most pain. Maybe it was physical, maybe you fell, maybe you broken armor a leg or something else.

We've all had those moments of pain. But then there's different kinds of pain, right? There's

a emotional pain that we can go through. When we've been hurt, for instance, a pain of rejection

or the pain of betrayal or the pain of abandonment, when the husband says to the wife,

I've been unfaithful to you. When the wife says to the husband, I want to divorce. When the child says

to the parent, I don't want to live the Christian life. When the parent says to the child,

we don't love you or want you or when the pastor who has just preached for two hours says one more

thing. That's a joke, right? But we all know what it's like to feel pain. And maybe one of the

worst kinds of pain you can experience is when you've been betrayed by someone you care about.
