Michael Youssef - God's Redemption
Hello, friends, so many people don't understand how can the shedding of the blood of the Son of God, there are some pastors who are now calling the crucifixion a child abuse. But let me explain to you, this is God's way, not their way or my way, it's God's way. From the very beginning, in the Garden of Eden, what did God do in the light of Adam and Eve's rebellion and going against what God told them to do? He redeemed them. How? By slaying an innocent animal. Shedding the blood, and then, later on, he taught his people Israel.
As soon as they came out of Egypt to offer that sacrifice, to remind them that sin is costly. And then they have to do it year after year, shedding of blood of an animal, blood of an animal, year after year after year. And then, God said, "I am going to send my Son to shed his own blood once and for all. And so that whomsoever would come to him, believing in him, receiving him as their only Savior and Lord," that blood immediately cleanses them from all sin and give you that assurance that the moment you close your eyes in death, you will be with Jesus. There is no other way. He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life".
Now, you can reject it all you want. Unfortunately, you're the loser. So, why don't you come to him today? Say, "Lord Jesus Christ, I accept your death on the cross to be for me. Thank you for paying the price of my sins". And the moment you say that, believing it with all your heart, your sins are forgiven eternally. Not just for a day or two, but forever. Will you do that today?
