Why Did Jesus Come (Isaiah 59:14-20)
2020 February 23
Synopsis: Based on Sermon: Why Did God Deal with Sin? (Dave Stewart), 2014 January 26. The story of man is the story of sin. In this lesson we will examine sin and why a holy and loving God would deal with sin. For many of us, our first thought is that Jehovah dealt with sin because of His wrath. This seems to be an incomplete answer. Rather as a loving Father he dealt with sin to bring us back into a righteous relationship with Him. Many of these thoughts were inspired and borrowed from Jim McGuiggan’s book: The Dragon Slayer, chapter 2: The Road leading to Bethlehem and Golgatha.
