For sermon only skip to middle of video
Sometimes I joke I am the definition of “normal” so I can determine other peoples normalcy according to how much they deviate from the way I think or act…. In some ways, we all do that to some degree…Our normalcy as the standard should be questioned, but there is one who is the absolute standard by which we can measure our behavior and way of thinking. His name is Jesus. Jesus is perfect. He is the standard. What he does, the way he thinks, his responses in certain situations is the model of goodness and rightness.
The last few weeks the sermons have been titled, perfect confidence and perfect forgiveness, looking to Jesus as the absolute standard. Today I could not go with the same sort of title because it is about how to overcome loneliness. I don’t believe Jesus was ever lonely in the negative sense, but he was alone and he was lonely in the sense of craving others to understand him, to know him… are there degrees of loneliness? Jesus worked to confront and overcome the loneliness! This message is about the aloneness Jesus faced, how he overcame loneliness thereby showing us how we overcome loneliness.
