Dr. Jerry Shields preaches from the sermon series "From Victim to Victory" in this sermon entitled "From Punishment to Pardon". Pastor Jerry discusses Jesus' mission of bringing victory to those suffering in a fallen world, highlighting His presence by the cross with two criminals. One criminal, acknowledging his sins and the justness of his punishment, turns to Jesus and asks for mercy, receiving the promise of paradise. Pastor Jerry emphasizes that despite our pasts and the consequences we deserve, Jesus offers grace and pardon, exemplifying His commitment to saving humanity even in dire situations. Ultimately, he challenges the congregation to recognize their own need for Jesus and to respond to His offer of forgiveness and hope.
