“ Great Sermon! ”
Although this is an Easter sermon, and Jerry discusses some of the proofs pointing to who Jesus is (such as the earthquake and resurrection of saints as a foretaste on the day of Jesus’ earthly death), he also visits the topic of limited atonement, which is sometimes difficult for people who don’t believe in reformed theology to understand. He quotes Romans 6:23 and explains that because the wages of sin is death, we all deserve death. Those who go to heaven receive grace. Those who go to hell receive justice. No one receives injustice. There are no victims. Jerry also discusses how God‘s people were saved before the coming of the Messiah because they looked forward to His coming and so, as with us, they were saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Scripture covered in this sermon includes:
Matthew 27: 50–53, 1 Corinthians 15:54, 1 Timothy 2:5 and 6, Matthew 28:2, 1 Corinthians 15:55, Colossians 2:13–15, Romans 9:22–24, Daniel 4:35, Genesis 18:25, Revelations 7:9, Genesis 15 and 17, Romans 6:23, Hebrews 11, John 8:56, Romans 3:20, James 2:10, etc. |
