DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This sermon emphasizes the hideous and evil nature of sin, portraying it
as the force that crucified Jesus Christ and inflicted immense suffering
upon Him. It delves into the betrayal and treachery inherent in sin,
highlighting the need for the cross to first expose and condemn our sin
before offering forgiveness and salvation through Christ's sacrifice.

CONTENT

It's necessary that we restore to the church and the world the reality
of what sin is. That it is absolutely hideous, that it is thoroughly
evil, that it's inherently wicked. It crucified the Savior, pierced His
hands and feet with nails, tore open His back with a cruel whip, thrust
the crown of thorns upon His sacred brow.

Our rebellion pierced His side with a spear. Our hatred ripped the beard
off His very face. Our malevolent spirit soaked His sinless body with
spit.

Sin is not a small thing. It is an evil beyond what we can imagine. Sin
and compromise are evils beyond what we could ever think of.

A betrayal of the Son of God, a treachery equal to that of Judas who
betrayed Jesus with 30 pieces of silver. You see, before the cross can
bring healing to our life and salvation to our life, first the cross
must undo our life. The cross, before it can bring forgiveness, must
first bring condemnation.

The cross must literally condemn us. You want to see how evil sin is?
You must look at the cross and the cross exposes the absolute
hideousness of all of our sin. But then after we are undone by the
reality of the cross and we see the reality of sin, then the cross is
right there.

The Savior that was crucified for us is right there to bring the remedy
that comes from that same cross. He is the only remedy. So the Father
looked upon a race of people suffering under the weight of their sin and
he sent his Son.
