1978 The Scarlet Worm

Pastor Jack draws from Psalm 22 to illuminate the prophetic depths of Christ’s crucifixion, focusing on the remarkable Hebrew word for “worm” that describes the red grub used to make scarlet dye – the same scarlet thread that saved Rahab and the same color in the temple veil torn at Jesus’ death. He teaches that Jesus was “dried up and ground out” like this worm to produce the scarlet token of redemption, making salvation possible for broken people like Rahab and all who trust in His blood. The message culminates in a Good Friday communion service with an invitation to receive Christ.
