Morning, if you need a Bible
Just raise your hand, I shall give one
Genesis chapter 20
And said unto him, Abraham
And he said, Behold, here I saw an Isaac
Whom thou lovest
And geth on one of the mountains which I
Abraham rose up early in the morning
And took two of his men
And claved the one to the place
Of which God had told him
Then I saw far off
And Abraham said unto his young men
Of yonder in worship
And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering
And laid it upon
And they went both back unto Abraham his father
And said, My father, son
And he said, Behold, the fathering
And Abraham said, My son, herring
So they went both of them together
And Abraham put the wood in order
And bound Abraham's chest forth his hand
And took the knife to slay him out of heaven
And said, Abraham
And he said, Lay now anything unto him
For seeing an only son from me
Behind him a ram
And Abraham went and took the ram of his son
And Abraham called and said to this day
And then Abraham out of heaven the second time
And said, He's done this thing
And then in blessing I will bless thee
The stars of the heaven
And as he zest the gate of his enemy
Blessed because thou hast obeyed my
And they rose up and went to Abraham
Dwelt at Beersheba
And the king Milca the he
She has his swell
The father of Aran and Pildash and
Jidlath and Rebekah
The heir to Nahor Abraham's was
Ruma, Thash, and Mahakha
But
Amen
Now we will partake the Lord's atonement of Christ
The substitutionary to read to you the A.I.
Overview according to Google, okay?
Thanks, Brother Brett
All substitutionary atonement in the PSA
As a substitute in the place of sinners
Taking upon himself to fight God's justice
And reconcile humanity to forgiveness of sins
And the transfer of righteousness to
We will mainly look at Genesis 22 this morning
A chapter, we will leave it and come back to it
We'll be looking to help you appreciate
One thing I do want to bring up is that
He gave all the prophets witness that through His name
Every single prophet prophesied about the Lord
So point number one this morning is
You are in Genesis 22 and it came to pass after these things
And said unto him, Abraham take now thy son
Thine only son Isaac was Abraham's only son of Isaac
Now keep a place in Genesis go to John chapter 3
Describe as Abraham's Jesus
Jesus is God's only begotten son
John chapter 3 look at John 3.16 says
For God so loved the world that he gave his
Don't miss this only begotten son
That whosoever believeth in him
I will not delve deeper into this phrase begotten son
But we become sons of God through this is the only begotten son
He is unique, he has his eternal sonship
He is God's only begotten son
Obviously when he became flesh he was conceived of the Holy Ghost
Invasion but that's part of the adoption process
But not the only begotten son
Now go to verse 35
So just like Abraham loved Isaac
So does God the father love God the son
John 3.35 says all things into his hand
Go to John chapter 5
John chapter 5 verse number 20
The Bible says this
Son and showeth him all things that himself do
And these that he may marvel
Now go to 15
Look at verse number 9
John 9
As the father hath loved me here
Continue ye in my love
The reason the mother loved him
Now John 15 verse
That ye love one another
And see the progression here
God the father love God the son
Christ love us
We should love
So that's why we should just love
We should just let go of the smaller issues
And kill disagreements
Now this post says that
Being and means I can agree with others
On the major doctrines
You'll be friends with them
Some people want you to be their clone
And agree with every little thing
You have to agree to disagree
And that should not mean that you have serious issues
Right
The Bible says because 17
Look at verse 24, John 17
John 17.4 says that be with me where I am
That they may be missed this for thou
God the foundation of the world
That means Christ is from everlasting love
Right
And you know says this is my back to Genesis 17
But there's one key detail to ask Abraham
But the problem is that Abraham at that time
Genesis 17 look at verse 24
Genesis 17 verse 17 was 90 years old and nine
Circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin
And Ishmael flesh of his foreskin
So back in Genesis 17 Ishmael is Abraham's son
So Genesis 25 is after Genesis 22
About Abraham says
Then Abraham gave up the ghost and died in equal of years
And was gathered to his people and plural
Isaac and Ishmael filled of it from the son of
Zoho sons
Isaac as well as Ishmael
Abraham only has a contradiction here
Of course not
Diction is because you don't understand it fully
Remember it's the same
Obviously there has to be a reason to that
Now go to Genesis
The Bible says
Now Sarah
That's Sarah
And Egyptian whose name restrained me from bearing
Maybe that I may obtain children by her
And Abraham's wife was not bearing any children
Bear children
Bear Abraham a son and Abraham Ishmael
Okay so
The wife shall bear thee his name Isaac
And I will establish my covenant with thee after him
So Isaac was born by Hagar
They are both Abraham's sons
Now
Interpretation of the story
Because there has to be a reason
Glazing chapter 4 22
Written
So
The one by a bondmaid
That's Hagar
The other by a free woman
That's Sarah
But he was born by Hagar
The other by a free woman
That's Sarah
But he was born by Hagar
The other by a free woman
That's Sarah
But he who was
But he of the free woman
Was by
Promise
So
Promise
So here's the
Distinction
Isaac
Was the
He was the only son
Of the flesh
OK
So what is
The physical unbelieving Jews
Are not God's chosen people
You have to be
Grafting Jesus Christ
Right
You know
Lot of bad pictures
Of the unbelieving Jews
Right
You know
Don't just fight against
You should be safe too
Right
This is point two
The Bible says this
Now go to 2 Chronicles 3
Now was also sacrificed
On Mount Moriah
And 2 Chronicles 3
Look at verse number one
2 Chronicles 3
verse number one
Then Solomon began to build
The house of the Lord
Don't miss this
Where the Lord appeared unto David
His father in the place that David
The Jebusite
Okay
So to me that's so amazing
Because thousands of years
Of the site
The very place
Where the lamb would die
How can you not believe the Bible
Right
Describe to come to a place called
Gogoltha
That is to say the place of a skull
You know and Jesus Christ
Was crucified without a gate
Now the body
He was crucified on Mount Moriah
But I can't believe that
Gogoltha was in the same region
As Mount Moriah
Because there are so many parallels
In that you know the exact place
Is also prophesied
Especially Mount Moriah
Is at Jerusalem
Right
So that's what I believe
You know I do believe
Mount Moriah was in the same
Gogoltha
So go back to Genesis 22
Genesis chapter 22
So point number one
Jesus in Jerusalem
Point number three
Jesus was a burnt sacrifice
Look at verse number two again
Take now thy son, thy only son Isaac
Whom thou lovest
And get thee into the land of Moriah
And offer him therefore a buff
Jump onto verse number seven
The Bible says
And Isaac spake my son
And he said, Behold the fire and the wood
But where is the land for a burned offering?
Here's all I'm trying to say
Jesus and you
To me like this should make you
Be more appreciative of Christ's sacrifice
He went to hell for you
Now go to the Bible says in Acts 2.31
He's seen this before speak of the resurrection of sea corruption
Some people may say that
Sometimes the word soul can mean who you are as a whole
But this verse clearly distinguishes the body and the soul
His soul was not left in hell,neither his flesh
Do you believe in the church fathers but not the Bible?
Do you believe in magma authority?
The word of God
His soul was not left in hell and his physical body
Matthew 12, look at verse 38
Matthew 12 verse
Gripes and of the Pharisees answered saying
Master answered and said unto them
And evil and adult no sign be given to it
But the sign of the prophet Jonas
So Jesus Christ was saying
You only need to be important right
Look at verse number 40
Four nights in the whale's belly
So shall the son of man
Be three days and three nights
In the heart of the earth
Not Valhalla
Not Abraham's bosom
What happened to the people
That didn't make any sense right
So like Adam's bosom you know
So there's only one sign that you need
And that was in the whale's belly
And Jesus was in the heart of the earth
The core of the earth
For three days
The story of Jonah
Jonah said out of the belly of hell
Cried out
No he was prophesying Jesus
Isaiah 53 is another famous chapter
About the prophecy of
Isaiah 53 look at verse number 10
Isaiah will show you way more verses
But let me just show you some of the highlights
If you've gone through the
Isaiah 53 look at verse number 10
Not virtually, every single offering is a burnt offering
The Bible says
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him
He shall make his soul an offering for sin days
And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hands
His soul was being afflicted
The anguish, the travail of his soul is travailing
Why was he crying?
Out of the belly of hell cried I
To me this doctrine is death in hell
So if Jesus Christ only died physically
Then why do saved Christians still die physically?
Think about this
Really convinces people that they deserve to go to hell
Because of their sins
To me that's a great way to go back to Genesis 22
I also believe that Jesus Christ went to the lowest hell
To pay for the sins of the whole world
Praise the Lord, Amen
He said I am he that liveth and was dead
And behold I am alive forevermore
Amen
Why did Christ have the keys of hell and of death?
Because he was in hell and he conquered hell
Jesus is God's only begotten son
Point number two
Jesus was sacrificed in Jerusalem
Point number three
Jesus was a burnt sacrifice
Point number four
The resurrection
Look at verse number three
Genesis 22, verse number three
And Abraham rose up early in the morning
And sat on his ass
And took two of his young men with him
And Isaac his son
And clave the wood for the burnt offering
And rose up and went unto the place
Of which God had told him
verse number four
Then on the third day
Abraham lifted up his eyes
And saw the place afar off
Now some people think that
This three day journey
That Abraham and Isaac took
Is a foreshadowing of Christ
Being dead and raised
Maybe
But to me verse number five
Is the real amazing verse
verse number five
And Abraham said unto his young men
Abide ye, hey stay here with the ass
And I and the lad will go yonder
And worship and come again to you
To me verse five is amazing
Let me read the second half again
And I and the lad will go yonder
And worship and come again to you
Did you see it?
And I and the lad will go yonder
And worship and come again to you
Abraham believed that both he and Isaac
Would come again back to the young men
Who are the subjects?
I and the lad
Abraham believed in the resurrection
Right here in verse number five
He's saying after the journey
Hey, both me and Isaac will come back to you
That's amazing, right?
Now go to Hebrews chapter 11
Hebrews chapter 11
Don't miss those small details
When you're reading the Bible
Obviously sometimes we just read past that
But the Bible is an amazing book
Hebrews 11, look at verse number 17
Hebrews 11, verse 17
It's a chapter of faith
Hebrews 11, 17 says
By faith Abraham when he was tried
Offered up Isaac
And he that had received the promises
Offered up his only begotten son
Of whom it was said that in Isaac
Shall I say be called
Verse 19
Counting that God was able to raise him up
Abraham believed that God was able to raise up Isaac
Even from the bed
From whence also he received him in a figure
So the story is that Abraham did have faith in the resurrection
But the figure of the resurrection of Christ
So Abraham believed in the resurrection
Before Jesus Christ physically came and died
And actually resurrected
That's why it's the same gospel
It's the exact same gospel
Romans 4.1 says
What shall we say then that Abraham our father
As pertaining to the flesh had found
For if Abraham were justified by works
He had worked to glory but not before God
For what say the scripture
Abraham believed God
And it was counted unto him for righteousness
So my question to you is
Do you have the faith when God asked you
To do what seems to be impossible
Abraham went through that by faith
See if God asks you to do something
That may not make sense
Would you still obey
You know Abraham had great faith right
If God comes to you right now
And just asks you to give up your time and money
Would you even do it
If God puts a finger in
You know on the one thing that you don't want to give up
What would you do right
Think about the faith of Abraham
What about this
If one of your adult children turn out to be rotten
Would you cut them off right
Do you actually love your children more than God
Do you love your wife and friends more than God right
See to me Abraham had the faith to even sacrifice his own son
His only begotten son
That is great faith
Go back to Genesis 22
Abraham believe God will raise up Isaac
Do you believe that God can work beyond what you see
Now we will talk about resurrection more next Sunday
But we serve a risen savior
He is the God of the impossible
Amen
So I said point number one
Jesus is God's only begotten son
Point number two
Jesus was sacrificed in Jerusalem
Point number three
Jesus was a burnt sacrifice
Point number four
The resurrection
Point number five
Jesus carried the cross
Look at verse number six
Genesis 22 verse number six
The Bible says this
And Abraham took the wood
Of the burnt offering
And laid it upon Isaac his son
And he took the fire in his hand
And the knife
And they went both of them together
Now who does Abraham picture in the story?
God the father, right?
What about Isaac?
Jesus, God the son
So notice the wording
Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering
So God the father allowed this to take place
God the father allowed Christ to be crucified
Because Abraham laid the wood upon Isaac
Now go to Romans chapter 5
Romans chapter 5
I told you we'll be going through a lot of verses
So hurry up
If you don't want the director cut sermon
Maybe you should flip faster
I'm kidding
I have plenty of time
Because I'm the dictator
There's no time limit for me right
John 3.16 says
For God so loved the world that he gave
God the father gave his only begotten son
Because he has allowed that to take place
Romans 5.7
Romans 5.7 says this
For scarcely
The word scarcely means hardly
It's very difficult
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die
Yet per venture perhaps
For a good man's son will even dare to die
We like quoting verse number 8
But let's look at verse number 7
The Bible says it's very difficult
For someone to die for a righteous man
Maybe someone will die for a quote unquote good man
But verse number 8 says this
But God commandeth
The word command does not mean presents or shows
The word command means he elevates
He praises
But God commanded his love toward us
How did he do that?
In that while we will yet see this Christ die for us
Verse number 7 says it's very difficult
For someone to even die for a righteous and good man
But Christ's love is so worthy to be praised
That he did not die for the righteous
He died for us sinners
That's why his love is way greater than any human love
That's amazing, right?
Don't miss the context in verse number 7
It's very hard for us to die for a good man, righteous person, honest person
But Christ died for you who are going to hell
Now we go to 1st John chapter 4
1st John chapter number 4
Look at verse number 10
1st John chapter 4 verse 10 says this
Hearing is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us
How did God love us?
And sent
Notice God the Father sent
He has allowed this
And sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins
Beloved, if God so loved us
If God sent His Son to die for our sins
Don't miss this
We ought also to love one another
It's the same progression, it's the same logic
So not only did God sanction the crucifixion, sanction the sacrifice
But I also want you to notice this
Let's go to John chapter 19
Back in Genesis, the Bible says Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering
And laid it upon Isaac his son
So Isaac was carrying the wood
Picturing that Jesus would carry the cross
John 19, look at verse 16
John 19, verse 16
The Bible says then deliver he him
That's Pilate delivering Jesus
There found to them to be crucified
And they took Jesus and led him away
And he, talking about Jesus, bearing his cross
Went forth into a place called the place of a skull
Which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha
Where they crucified him and two other with him
On either side one and Jesus in the midst
Sometimes we read past verses like this
But just notice that Jesus carried the very cross
That he will be crucified on
That is love, right?
And that is determination
He came to save sinners like you and me
He carried the cross
We could do John chapter 12
Apostle Paul said that Christ Jesus came into the world
To save sinners of whom I am chief
The Bible says in Luke 19 verse 10
John 12 look at verse 27
John 12 27
The Bible says now is my soul troubled
And what shall I say?
Father save me from this hour
But for this cause came I unto this hour
Jesus Christ came for a mission
And that's for die for your sins
For this cause
Now go to Luke chapter 9
Luke chapter number 9
So my question to you is this
Jesus carry his cross
Would you carry your cross
Luke chapter 9
Look at verse 23
Luke chapter 9
verse 23
Luke 9 23
And he said to them all
If any man will come after me
Let him deny himself
And take up his cross daily
And follow me
So Christ is saying that
Hey I have carried your cross
You know
I have carried the cross
To pay for your sin
To sacrifice for you
Would you carry your cross
To follow me
Now go to Colossians chapter 3
Colossians chapter 3
So Christ wants us to take up his cross daily
And to follow him
What does that mean?
The cross is an instrument of death
So to take up the cross means to die to yourself
Colossians chapter 3 look at verse number 5
Colossians 3.5
The Bible says
Mortify
The word mortify means to put to death
Mortify therefore your members
That's your body parts
That's your flesh
Which are upon the earth fornication and cleaness
Inordinate affection, evil, evil concupiscence and covetousness
which is idolatry
For which things sake the wrath of God comment on the children of disobedience
In the which you also walked some time when you lived in them
But now you also put off all these anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth
Lie now one to another
That's a great verse
Lie now one to another
Seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds
And put on the new man
Which is renewed in knowledge of the image of him that created him
The Bible says we should put our flesh to death
That means to put away fornication
Uncleanness, all these evil things, covetousness, lying, idolatry
Putting these off
That's how you die to yourself
That's how you take up the cross daily
Now go to Galatians chapter 2
Galatians chapter 2
See, dying to yourself looks like this
Dying to your will, right?
Dying to your comfort
Dying to your plans
Dying to your sinful desires
Galatians 2.20
Let me show you a very powerful verse that Paul said
Galatians 2.20 says this
Galatians chapter 2 verse 20
Apostle Paul said this
I am crucified with Christ
Nevertheless I live, yet not I
But Christ liveth in me
And the life which I now live in the flesh
I live by the faith of the Son of God
Who loved me and gave himself for me
Notice the progression again
Why did Paul chose to die to himself
Because Christ loved him
Because Christ gave himself for him
See Jesus Christ was crucified for me
And that's why it's reasonable for me to die to myself
Because I must decrease he must increase
I wish everyone of you can say I'm crucified with Christ
Choose to die to yourself every single day
Because he carried the cross for you
Now go back to Genesis 22
So I said point number one
Jesus is God's only begotten son
Point number two
Jesus was sacrificed in Jerusalem
Point number three
Jesus was a burnt sacrifice
Point number four
The resurrection
Point number five
Jesus carried the cross
Point number six
Jesus voluntarily laid down his life
Genesis 22, look at verse number seven
Actually, let's go to verse number nine
Genesis 22, verse number nine
And they came to the place which God had told him of
And Abraham built an altar there
And laid the wood in order
And bound Isaac his son
And laid him on the altar upon the wood
So verse nine says
Abraham laid Isaac on the wood
Bound him with ropes probably
And laid him on the altar, right?
I believe Isaac was an adult at this point
I don't think he
I mean I don't believe that he was a child
Now the question is when was Isaac born?
Go to Genesis 17
Genesis 17
Look at verse number 17
Genesis 17, verse 17
The Bible says, "Then Abraham fell upon his face and laughed and said in his heart, 'Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old, and shall Sarah that is ninety years old bear?'"
So Sarah likely gave birth to Isaac when she was ninety years old
Now go to Genesis 23
Genesis 23, because I want to deduce how old was Isaac at that time
Genesis 23, look at verse number 1
And Sarah was 107 and 20 years old
These were the years of the life of Sarah
So Sarah was 127 years old when she died
And she was 90, maybe 91 depends on the pregnancy
And she was 90 when Isaac was born
This means that Isaac was about 37 years old when Sarah died
And since Genesis 22 was before chapter 23
Isaac could be in his late teens to the 30s
But here's my speculation though
I would not be surprised that if Isaac was about 33 years old when this happened
Since this was a picture of Jesus
Again, that's my speculation but I will not say that
But Isaac was definitely before 37
So it's around that timeline
Since the whole story is an amazing prophecy
So I would not be surprised if Isaac was about 33 years old just like Jesus
Not with John chapter 10
So what's my point?
I believe Isaac voluntarily laid down his life
Just like Jesus voluntarily laid down his life
Because if Isaac didn't want this to happen he could just run away
He allowed himself to be bound and lay down the altar
So that's why Jesus also voluntarily laid down his life
In fact that's exactly what he did
John chapter 10 look at verse number 17
Also Isaac couldn't be too young
Because otherwise he could not be carrying the cross
John chapter 10 look at verse number 17
Carry the wood
John 10 17 says
Therefore does my father love me
Because I lay down my life
That's his own choice that I might take it again
To me this is another powerful verse
Every verse I preached this morning is powerful
But verse 17 is really really powerful
Because Jesus did not just die
But he chose to die
And that's not the only part
And he did not just hope to rise again
He had the power to rise again
Notice what he said
Because I lay down my life
That I might take it again
Look at verse number 18
No man taketh it from me
But I lay it down of myself
I have power to lay it down
Don't miss this
And I have power to take it again
This commandment have I received of my father
See death did not conquer Jesus
He has conquered death
See Abraham believed God could raise up Isaac
But Jesus did not just believe in the resurrection
He is the resurrection
And he had the power to take his life again
Amazing verse there
Amazing passage
Now go to Romans chapter 12
Romans chapter number 12
So let me ask you this
If Jesus is willing to lay down his life for you
Are you willing to give your life to him?
And this may sound like a cliché question
But that's a good question right?
Romans 12.1 says
I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of God
That ye present your bodies a living sacrifice
Holy acceptable unto God which is your reasonable service
See this is a choice
You have to voluntarily choose to present your bodies as a living sacrifice
Just like Jesus voluntarily chose to die for you
1st John chapter 3
What about this?
If Christ is willing to lay down his life for you voluntarily
Are you willing to voluntarily defend the people whom you trust and love?
Proverbs 18.24 says
A man that hath had friends must show himself friendly
And there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother
1st John 3
Look at verse number 16
1st John 3.16
The Bible says
Hereby perceive we the love of God
Notice the same progression
Because he laid down his life for us
And we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren
Especially the people at this church whom you know and trust
Invest your time in them, forgive them, suffer yourself to be defrauded
And to strive together for the faith of the gospel
Because Christ has laid down his life for us
We ought to lay down our lives for the brethren
Go back to Genesis 22
So I say point number one, Jesus is God's only begotten son
Point number two, Jesus was sacrificed in Jerusalem
Point number three, Jesus was a burned sacrifice
Point number four, the resurrection
Point number five, Jesus carried the cross
Point number six, Jesus voluntarily laid down his life
And lastly, point number seven, Jesus is our substitute
Look at verse number seven, Genesis 22, verse number seven
And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father and said
My father and he said, Here am I, my son
And he said, Behold the fire and the wood
But where is the lamb for a burned offering?
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself
A lamb for a burned offering
So they went both of them together
Now this is my side point
That Abraham went with Isaac to the altar
They went both of them together
That's why I also believe
That God the Father was with Jesus
When he was on his way to be crucified
Obviously we can make the application
That God is with you when you go through trials
Don't grow bitter, be better
But also don't miss this
In verse number 8
Abraham said my son
God will provide himself a lamb
Let me just read this again
God will provide himself a lamb
The Bible does not say
God will provide a lamb for himself
The Bible says
God will provide himself as a lamb
This means that
The himself here is God, right?
And who was the lamb being offered?
Jesus
So this proves that Jesus is God from the Old Testament
Because in the beginning was the word
And the word was with God
And the word was God
And Jesus is the lamb of God
Which taketh away the sin of the world, right?
And God will provide himself a lamb
Look at verse number 9
Genesis 22, verse number 9
And they came to the place
Which God had told him of
And Abraham built an altar there
And laid the wood in order
And bound Isaac his son
And laid him on the altar
Upon the wood
And Abraham stretched forth his hand
And took the knife to slay his son
By the way
Abraham was about to slay Isaac
Then burn him
So what is this picture
The physical death on the cross
And then burning in hell
Right
Look at verse number 11
And the angel of the Lord
Caught unto him out of heaven
And said Abraham Abraham
And he said here am I
And he said lay not thine hand
Upon the lad
Nither do thou anything unto him
For now I know that thou fearst God
Seeing thou hast not withheld thy son
Thine only son from me
So this whole situation
Was a test of faith
I believe that God would have never allowed to
God would never have allowed this to happen anyway
This whole thing is a test of faith
Look at verse number 13
And Abraham lifted up his eyes
And looked and behold
Behind him a ram
What's a ram? It's a male sheep
You know, again, picture of Jesus Christ is a man, right?
Caught in a thicket
What's a thicket?
It's a wood or a collection of trees or shrubs
Closely set
What is that picture?
The crown of thorns by his horns
And Abraham went and took the ram
And offered him up for a burnt offering
Don't miss this
In the stead of his son
It means as a substitution, right?
This is one of the clearest examples
Of the penal substitutionary atonement of Christ
St. Corinthians 521 says
For he had made him to be sin for us
Who knew no sin
That we might be made the righteousness of God in him
Now go to 1 Peter chapter 2
1 Peter chapter 2
I'm almost down
1 Peter chapter 2
Towards the end of your Bible
1 Peter 2 look at verse 24
1 Peter chapter 2 verse 24
Bible says in 1 Peter chapter 2 verse 24
Who his own self
2 Talk about Jesus
3 Buried our sins
4 In his own body on the tree
5 That's the wood
6 That's the cross
7 That we being dead to sins
8 Should live unto righteousness
9 By whose stripes
10 He will heal
10 The last phrase is really fascinating
11 Because
12 What saved us
13 Is it the cross
14 Is it the blood
15 Is it the hell atonement
16 Is all the blood
17 Is the stripes that
18 You know
19 Scourges
19 Jesus
20 Is the cross
21 Is hell
21 Is blood
22 Is his
23 Resurrected life
24 Is everything
25 But he
26 Is his own self
27 Buried our sins
28 On the tree
29 And here's why
30 It's so important
31 To grasp this
32 Because God
32 Is perfectly just
33 He is holy
34 He is just
35 Roman 623 says
36 For the wages
37 Of sin is death
38 The wages of sin
38 Is eternal death
39 In hell
40 And the substitutionary
41 Atonement of Christ
41 Teaches us that
42 You know
43 God did not
43 Just stop the sacrifice
44 God didn't
45 Stop the sacrifice
43 He just changed the person
44 Who is supposed to be sacrificed
45 God didn't cancel the sacrifice
46 God didn't cancel the sacrifice
47 He provided a substitute
47 Because God is still just
48 The penalty of sin
49 Still need to be paid
50 Isaac represent Christ in the story
51 But he can also picture you and me
52 Think about this
53 There are so many parallels
54 And so many symbolisms
55 In this one story
56 That Isaac was under the sentence of death
57 Isaac was bound for the altar
56 Just like we were under a curse
57 We were going to hell
57 Because of our sins, right?
58 And just like Isaac was in need of a substitute
59 We were also in need of a substitute
60 And if you are not saved today
61 You are in need of a substitute
62 But God provided a ram
63 The ram had to die
64 So Isaac can live
65 Just like Jesus died and rose again
66 So we can have eternal life
67 Go to 1 Peter chapter 3
68 1 Peter chapter 3
69 Isaiah 53 verse 6 says this
70 All we like sheep have gone astray
70 We have turned everyone to his own way
70 And the Lord has laid on him
70 Jesus, the iniquity of us all
70 That's a substitute
70 1 Peter chapter 3
70 Look at verse number 18
70 1 Peter 3, 18
70 The Bible says
70 For Christ also had once suffered for sins
70 The just for the unjust
70 That's a substitute, right
70 That he might bring us to God
70 Being put to death in the flesh
70 But quickened by the Spirit
70 See, God's wrath must be satisfied
70 The debt of sin must be paid
70 If Jesus didn't take your place as a substitute
70 And die for you
70 Then we are all going to hell
70 If this doesn't make you thank God
70 I don't know what will
70 He's our substitute
70 Because he's perfectly just
70 He did not cancel the sacrifice
70 He just changed the person
70 Who's supposed to be said
70 Who's supposed to be sacrificed
70 See if it
70 See if this doesn't make you serve God
70 I don't know what will
70 I mean I just rest my case right
70 If this doesn't make you
70 sacrifice your life for God
70 I don't know what will
70 If this doesn't motivate you
70 to win souls to Christ
70 I don't know what will
70 If this doesn't encourage you
70 to stand for the truth
70 I don't know what will
70 I like the hymn
70 You know Jesus paid it all
70 All to him I owe
70 Right, sin had left the crimson
70 saying he washed it white as snow
70 So I say point number one
70 Jesus is God's only begotten son
70 Point number two
70 Jesus was sacrificed in Jerusalem
70 Point number three
70 Jesus was a burnt sacrifice
70 Point number four
70 The resurrection
70 Point number five
70 Jesus carried the cross
70 Point number six
70 Jesus voluntarily laid down his life
70 And point number seven
70 Jesus is our substitute
70 So this afternoon
70 We will take the Lord's Supper
70 As a memorial
70 Because he already died for us
70 He already rose from the dead
70 And let's take some time
70 To remember what Christ has done for us
70 So we can have eternal life
70 Just remember this
70 You are Isaac
70 Jesus is the rem
70 And the knife of God's judgment was stopped
70 Because it fell on Christ instead
70 Amen
70 Let's close in with a prayer
70 Thank you Lord for sending your son
70 To pay for our sin
70 And thank you for this amazing story
70 In the book of Genesis
70 But I pray that we will choose to lay down our life for you
70 And for the brethren
70 And to care and love for each other
70 And thank you for saving our souls from hell
70 And I pray this in Jesus' name, Amen
70 And I pray that we will choose to lay down our lives for you
70 And I pray this in Jesus' name, Amen
70 Everybody get singing. Brother Mack, can you please close out in a word of prayer?
Everybody get singing
Brother Mac, you please close out in a word of prayer
Amen, you are dismissed
