Uncover will help us to investigate Jesus’ claims and experience the life he offers.

Tomorrow with Stefano we'll engage with Luke 22:66-71, 23:13-25, 32-56 and we'll see that on the one hand, Jesus is coming as the long-promised Jewish Messiah. On the other hand, he’s a dead man walking. Repeatedly Jesus has told his followers that awaiting him in Jerusalem are betrayal, arrest and execution at the hands of the authorities. How can Jesus be both a conquering king and at the same time one who is going to be murdered by his enemies?
