CHRIST TOOK ALL SINS AWAY
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Jesus Took Away Sin
a) Jesus once told a parable about a slave who owed his king millions of dollars. He told his lord that he would pay back every cent, yet it was clear that he could not. The king felt compassion for the slave and was willing to cancel the entire debt (Matthew 18:23-27).
2. Christ Took All Sins Away
a) All former sacrifices for sin would have have been ineffective had they not foreshadowed and anticipated the death of Christ. It was necessary that Christ "put away sin by sacrifice of himself" (Hebrews 9:26). "He himself is the atonement for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world’s" (1 John 2:2).
b) Once the death of Jesus took place, all the transgressions committed under the former law were at last able to be taken away for ever. The former law did not provide such redemption. Those who were under the law had to believe in something apart from the law and beyond it, to gain forgiveness. The law itself could not accomplish it.
