G.W. North emphasizes the profound significance of Jesus' impending crucifixion, illustrating how He approached the cross with full awareness of its implications. During the Mount of Transfiguration, Jesus conversed with Moses and Elijah about His 'exodus,' a term that encapsulated not just His death but a deeper outgoing from God, representing the ultimate sacrifice. This moment was not merely a historical event but a cosmic turning point, where Jesus faced the darkest hour, symbolizing separation from God akin to the scapegoat sent into a desolate land. North highlights that this exodus was a test of divine love and purpose, culminating in Jesus' triumphant resolve to fulfill God's will at Calvary. The sermon invites reflection on the weight of Christ's sacrifice and the depths of His love for humanity.
