Message “Jesus, I’ll Stand By You”
Dr. Dan Henry
Popular music of the last 60 years or so is not known to be compatible with Christian values and life. This is particularly true of the music written and performed by singer-songwriter Chrissie Hynde. However, if one imagines the lyrics and themes of the song “I’ll Stand by You”, co-written and made popular by Chrissie Hynde, as coming from Jesus, one can see a number of important Christian theological themes and concepts in the song, including incarnation, grace, forgiveness, and guidance. We’re going to look at this song on Sunday, especially in the context of the disciples’ mood on the evening of the day of resurrection.
Scripture: John 20:19-23
