Sermon for Good Friday Tenebrae Vespers, AD 2026
Apr 3, 2026 • Rev. Christopher Antonetti
Jesus on the cross is truly the King of the Jews. This is what it means to be the king of the Jews. Not David, not Solomon, not Hezekiah or Josiah or certainly not Herod. To be the king of the Jews is to fulfill perfectly the word of the Law and the Prophets, the Old Testament. That means to keep the commandments perfectly, and to die as a sacrifice for the sake of sinners.
