H.C. Lord's Day 16, Part 2 – Christ Suffered Hell – Sermon Outline Intro: Did Christ descend into a place called hell or Sheol? What is hell and Sheol? Need: God's Word, the crafting of the Apostle's Creed, and our Reformed Confessions teach that Christ's whole life, but especially in His dying and remaining in death til the 3rd day, was all a descent into hell to redeem His people from death and God's wrath, and bring them up out of death into heavenly life with Him. Theme: Christ suffered hell in His life, death at the cross, and remaining buried in death until the 3rd day.
1. Hell's meaning in Scripture shows Christ suffered and entered into death for us. 2. Christ's work of redemption was accomplished in His life, death, resurrection, and ascension, not secret missions to the underworld. |
