Jesus, the Rejected Son of God

Luke 22:39-71 | Eric Hovis | 4/6/25

This week, we continue our series The Way of the Cross. In this passage from Luke, the events leading to Jesus’ crucifixion begin to unfold—as he prays in anguish, is betrayed by a friend, denied by a follower, and brought before the council. Pastor Eric walks us through the text in the sections below:

1. Jesus was betrayed (vs. 47-53)

2. Jesus was denied (vs. 54-62)

3. Jesus was mocked (vs. 63-65)

4. Jesus, the Son of God (vs. 66-71)
