S6E08: Crucified, Dead, and Buried (We Believe... Pt. 5)

Sermon #287

Two major considerations face us today as we continue our examination of the Apostles' Creed.  First, what is the point of mentioning Pontius Pilate?  When Jesus was betrayed by so many - the crowds, the Sanhedrin, Judas Iscariot - why do we affirm that he "suffered under Pontius Pilate?"  Next, we look at the dual nature of Christ and that he was fully God and fully human, as demonstrated in that he was "crucified, dead, and buried - none of which makes any sense if Jesus were only God and not human.
