In this Holy Week episode of The Fairbanks Lutheran Podcast, we begin the Passion of Christ with a profound meditation on the unbearable love of Jesus—a love that covers even the betrayal of Judas. Drawing from John 13, we explore how Christ's glory is found not in triumph, but in suffering, forgiveness, and a divine love that is both clarifying and unsettling. As we wrestle with our own impulses for justice and judgment, this sermon calls us to consider a grace that forgives not only us, but even those we would never want forgiven. In the darkest hour, Jesus shines with the fire of God's love—unrelenting, unshakable, and gloriously beyond our understanding.
