Text: 1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
John brings us back to the historic event of the Cross, where certain things happened – things that could be achieved by no other, things that had profound effects in heaven and earth, things that had eternal consequences, including our forgiveness from sin, and John can’t leave this subject without focussing on what made it all possible. Every sermon must return to the Cross. Here’s three great facts simply stated…
1. The Exclusivity of the Sacrifice. HE is the propitiation for our sins:
2. The Effectiveness of the Sacrifice. He is the PROPITIATION for our sins.
3. The Extent of the Sacrifice. and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
