Jesus is Greater - Than Karma & Wrath, Part 2

About this episode

Pastor Ricky compares the cultural idea of karma with Jesus' sacrificial love, emphasizing the depth of human sinfulness and the grace of God.

In today’s message, Pastor Ricky compares a cultural idea of karma vs. Jesus’ sacrificial love. The cultural idea of karma insists that we should receive treatment from others based on how good or bad we are, but truly understanding the depth of our human sinfulness would mean that we would not earn anything good. However, Jesus sacrificially took upon Himself the punishment for which you and I were destined. Therefore, you and I receive God's love and life, instead of what we deserve.
