The shamed Messiah

How does the good news of Jesus touch the deepest places of shame in our lives?  Places that we perhaps feel trapped, stuck, or just going around the same issue again and again?  As we continue this series on shame, Rupert explores the shame of the cross, and how Jesus journeys into and through that shame, without any of the destructive, sinful patterns of behaviour that flow from shame (that we have looked at earlier in the series) and is then honoured at the right hand of God’s throne.  In so doing, he breaks the power of shame (and sin & evil) and becomes the pioneer of our faith, making a way for us to journey in and through shame, towards the ultimate goal of being free from shame (even if that is only fully realised in the coming age).
