Sermon
The War Between Your Selves (Part 1)
By Tim Keller
Sermon
The Sacrifice
Tim Keller | March 20, 2005
Overview
When modern people hear that God requires blood to turn aside his wrath from sin, it sounds offensive. It sounds disgusting, primitive, obscene.
Christianity has sometimes been called the religion of the slaughterhouse. It doesn’t seem to be what we need in a world that’s filled with blood and violence. But Jesus saves through his blood. And the book of Hebrews says there’s power in the blood.
Without the shedding of blood, Hebrews says we wouldn’t know three things: 1) the depth of our problem, 2) the power of God’s solution, and 3) the extent of the transformation that can happen to us.
