Slaves to Sin No Longer

An Exposition of Romans 6

 Jesus Christ conquered sin and death nearly 2,000 years ago on the Cross. There truly is victory in Jesus for all who know Him.  But wait.  A battle still rages, even for Christians.  We are in combat every day.  And quite frankly, many are not doing so well.  Many are living frustrated, defeated lives.  The enemy is sin.  The enemy is within.  How can we win this war against person sin? We find the answer in Romans 6.

What Really Happened on the Cross

This special Sunday morning sermon series will investigate what the Bible really says about The Passion of the Christ. There are five key words that explain what happened when Jesus died on the cross. We’ll examine each carefully in the weeks ahead.

“Substituion: He Traded Places” – 2 Corinthians 5:21

“Redemption: He Paid a Ransom” – Galatians 3:13

“Justification: He Made Sinners Right with God” – Romans 3:21-26

“Propitiation: He Endured the Wrath of God” – 1 John 2:2; 4:10

“Reconciliation: He Removed the Hostility of Sin” – Romans 5:9-11

What Really Happened on the Cross?

 
Some thoughts from Pastor Brad… 
The question of the hour is: Did Mel get it right? 
Currently, crowds are packing out theaters across this nation to see the movie Mel Gibson produced, The Passion of the Christ. Thousands, even millions will eventually see this portrayal of the last twelve hours of Jesus’ earthly life.  
 

Did Mel get it right?

I saw the movie the night before it opened to the general public. Some critics ridicule the film as anti-Semitic, others as too graphic. There’s no question it is intense. I found myself almost heaving with emotion at the end. 
I left the theater with two thoughts in mind. One, for the most part Mel was right on—he followed the biblical account and presented the story as it happened. I saw in living color the agony my Savior endured. But my second thought came in the words of an old hymn—the half has not been told.  The movie barely scratched the surface in portraying the worst kind of suffering—the spiritual suffering—experienced by the Lord Jesus. And that’s not a criticism. I’m not sure a movie could do that.  
But God’s Word can, and does.  
That’s why we have provided the following resources for you, so you can investigate further what the Bible says really happened on the cross.   
I welcome your feedback. Perhaps you have questions or a comment. I’d love to hear from you. It’s our purpose at Wheelersburg Baptist Church to know Christ and to make Him known to others.
