"The Most Incredible Journey"
(I Peter 3:18a)
For Christ also died for sins once for all,
the just for the unjust, in order that He
might bring us to God, having been put to
death in the flesh, but made alive in the
Spirit.
There have been many tremendous journeys in history. For instance,
in the 1200's, Marco Polo took his great fabled trip to China. Many

There have been others. Christopher Columbus took a seven thousand
dollar grant from the King and Queen of Spain, and in trying to find
a new route to India, discovered America and a whole new world.
What about Admiral Bird? North Pole, South Pole, Little America--an

Who of us can forget the historic message: "The Eagle has landed"?

of Jesus Christ, when he left heaven, came to earth, descended to
Hades, and then rose on the third day and ascended back into heaven.
There has never been a trip like it. It was the most incredible
round-trip journey of all of history.

Christ's coming to earth to do one very special thing: "Christ came
to earth to die for our sins."
The Cross was a very cruel instrument of death. Christ came to
suffer for us, a s'ffering Cht we could not do for ourselves.
"Sacrifice," is a theological word, sometimes used interchangeably
with -"propitiation," which means to conciliate. It m ...
