Title: How God Forgives Sin (3 of 4)
Series: Risen-From the Upper Room to the Empty Tomb
Author: Brad Whitt
Text: Matthew 27:35-37
INTRODUCTION
Take your Bibles this morning and turn with me to Matthew 27.
If you're a guest this morning, we're in a series of sermons for this Easter season that I've entitled, "Risen: From the Upper Room to the Empty Tomb."
My prayer and plan for this series of studies is that it will help us as a church, and you as a Christian, to turn our hearts and minds towards the greatest day in history - that first Easter Sunday morning when Jesus Christ literally, physically, bodily, visibly, victoriously rose from the dead.
So, look with me at Matthew 27:35-37, and listen carefully to those first four words -
Matthew 27:35-37, "Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: 'They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.' 36 Sitting down, they kept watch over Him there. 37 And they put up over His head the accusation written against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS."
So far in this series we've looked at -
- The Victory of Gethsemane
- The Testimony of Golgotha's Thorns
This morning, I want us to see - How God Forgives Sin And here are the questions
I want us to answer this morning:
- What was the reason for the cross?
- What was the requirement of the cross?
The answer to that question is found wrapped up in just one word: SIN.
Every morning we wake up and we read about where -
- another person has been killed.
- another child has been abused.
- another building has been burned.
- another nation has been invaded.
- another community has been destroyed.
We'll hear those sorts of things; we'll read those sorts of headlines, but there's a word that you will never see at the top of those things that's really the root for every single one of them, and that's the word: SIN ...
