The Three C's of Easter: The Cross

What the Cross Did for Us:

It Satisfied... Prophecies from the Old Testament– the Savior and His Sacrifices had been told over and over again from Genesis throughout Israel’shistory – Savior is coming, Emmanuel, the Lamb of God – countless numbers including those of the cross, even as we talked about last week Jesus telling them Himself He was going to die! Punishment & Penalty for Sin God’s Justice – Leviticus – Sin had to be punished and a penalty had to be paid – the Sacrificial system was all about that – but now Christ had come to finally fulfill that sacrifice once and for all! Which leads to the next...

It Settled our Debt Paid in Full, “He Paid a Debt”

It Secured Our Salvation – and it secured it forever!!

It Set Us Free – The Guilty Go Free and the INNONCENT are condemned

It Sealed Satan’s & Death’s Fate – Christ now holds the keys to death, hell, and the grave. Death and the grave have been defeated – it’s why Paul is able to say in 1 Corinthians 15 – oh death where is your sting, oh grave where is your victory!
