Become A Little Child – Timothy Keller [Sermon]

Tim Keller sermons via Gospel in Life: What did Jesus mean when he said that he came to give his life as a ransom for many? In this sermon Tim Keller explains the objective and subjective meanings of the cross. Objectively, Jesus paid the debt we owe that separates us from God. Subjectively, the cross turns us into little children, running boldly into our Father’s loving arms because of what Jesus has done. This sermon will help us answer three questions: 1) What did Jesus come to do?; 2) Why did he come to do it?; 3) How can we personally connect to it?

This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 1, 2001.

Scripture: Mark 10:13-16, 35-45

Is anyone else doubtful that there are only 1.5k likes? For some there are TEN. Timothy Keller did nothing for 'likes', but so many people are blessed by these sermons that I really doubt the 'likes' reflect reality.

This is a seriously underrated sermon, bar none, and one of Dr Keller’s best. Sir, we need you here, and at the same time I’m thrilled you are reaping your reward in heaven and enjoying eternal rest in Christ.

He explains it like few others can. God bless you brother Tim. Keep you alive for many more years so that you could declare the truths of God’s words.

God is still using Tim’s messages to win hearts and souls ❤️ thank you Tim and Kathy for your life’s work 🥰

You were wrong… many, many, so many know and will continue to remember you. We thank God for you. Rest in eternal peace!

RIP pastor. You have inspired me to deepen my walk with Jesus through your messages and perspectives. Thank you for being faithful to your call.

What a wonderful heart you had, Dr. Keller.

"the Father experienced son-lessness on the cross." Interesting angle!
I also appreciate how Keller goes at length to explain that forgiveness ultimately involves someone having to absorb the cost/pain of the wrongdoing. The cost/pain doesn't just magically disappear. I wish preachers would be more aware of that whenever they preach to (or try to emotionally blackmail) the congregation about forgiving all wrongs.

Thank you so much for this format of having the subtitles moving along with the speech of Pastor Tim!! It is so helpful for those from non-English background to follow easily, people with learning difficulties like ADHD to concentrate better, and so much more. God bless your ministry and Pastor Tim 🙏💕

There are many little children who know that they are NOT accepted at all. It took me nearly 70 years to know that God accepts me. But thank God, I finally know His love from listening to David Benjamin- ChristiansNeedTheGospel. The Good News is extraordinarily good!
