Sermon Illustrations

Just as the Old Testament priest would take an innocent lamb and slaughter it on the alter for the sins of the nation of Israel, so Jesus came to offer Himself for the sins of the world. His entire reason for coming from Heaven to others was for "OTHERS" and not Himself.

o He was born in another man’s stable.

o He was laid in another man’s manger.

o He would preach in another man’s boat.

o He would ride into Jerusalem on another man’s colt.

o He would eat His last supper in another man’s upper room.

o He would die on another man’s cross to pay for other men’s sins.

o He would be buried in another man’s tomb.

o He is the ultimate substitute.
