Pastor Steven Furtick shares this sermon titled “Do I Have To Deal With People?” where he teaches that God has created us to need human connection during hard times. In this message, we’re reminded that even Jesus needed a team to carry out His mission at the cross. This is an excerpt from his sermon “Complete The Cross”
He said the greatest pain and pleasure you will experience in your life will be in the context of relationship. One of the words Jesus spoke from the cross is commonly called the word of relationship. He spoke about Cleopas from Luke 24. He has an unnamed traveling companion and they’re going the wrong way to a no-name village called Emmaus. According to Steven Furtick, it has a name, but you can’t find it because if you go to the Holy Land today, they’ll say, “We think this is where Emmaus was,” but they don’t really know where it was.
It wasn’t some major metropolitan area where commerce happened. It was where they lived. They were going back from the scene of the cross, where they had watched their hope extinguished and had watched the one they thought might be the one die, and they were burying their dreams along the road when the one whose death they were mourning walked up right beside them, and they didn’t know it.
