Why was Jesus a Sacrifice for our sins? Could God have found another way? In this address, you see from the scriptures why Jesus was the only person who was qualified to save us from our sins. Nothing else or no one else could have saved us, only Jesus.

Mark 12:42-44 “And Jesus, having sat down opposite the treasury, saw how the crowd was casting money into the treasury; and many rich cast in much. 42 And a poor widow came and cast in two mites, which is a farthing. 43 And having called his disciples to [him] he said to them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow has cast in more than all who have cast into the treasury: 44 for all have cast in of that which they had in abundance, but she of her destitution has cast in all that she had, the whole of her living.”

Mark 12:35-37“How do the scribes say that the Christ is son of David? 36 [for] David himself said [speaking] in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet. 37 David himself [therefore] calls him Lord, and whence is he his son?”

Mark 12:16“Whose [is] this image and superscription? And they said to him, Caesar’s.”

Mark 11:29-30 ““29 And Jesus answering said to them, *I* also will ask you one thing, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:30 The baptism of John, was it of heaven, or of men? answer me.”

The Bible tells us that Jesus was the marked out Son of God in power. In this Gospel preaching, you will hear an account of the power Jesus had over death when he raised Lazarus from the tomb. 

 

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation

John 11:1-44 “11 Now there was a certain [man] sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.2 It was [the] Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

4 But when Jesus heard [it], he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.6 When therefore he heard, He is sick, he remained two days then in the place where he was.

7 Then after this he says to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.8 The disciples say to him, Rabbi, [even but] now the Jews sought to stone thee, and goest thou thither again?9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walk in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world;

10 but if any one walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.11 These things said he; and after this he says to them, Lazarus, our friend, is fallen asleep, but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.12 The disciples therefore said to him, Lord, if he be fallen asleep, he will get well.

13 But Jesus spoke of his death, but *they* thought that he spoke of the rest of sleep.14 Jesus therefore then said to them plainly, Lazarus has died.15 And I rejoice on your account that I was not there, in order that ye may believe. But let us go to him.16 Thomas therefore, called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let *us* also go, that we may die with him.17 Jesus therefore [on] arriving found him to have been four days already in the tomb.

18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia off,19 and many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother.20 Martha then, when she heard Jesus is coming, went to meet him; but Mary sat in the house.

21 Martha therefore said to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;22 but even now I know, that whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.23 Jesus says to her, Thy brother shall rise again.24 Martha says to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day.25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes on me, though he have died, shall live;

26 and every one who lives and believes on me shall never die. Believest thou this?27 She says to him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who should come into the world.28 And having said this, she went away and called her sister Mary secretly, saying, The teacher is come and calls thee.29 She, when she heard [that], rises up quickly and comes to him.30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha came to meet him.

31 The Jews therefore who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, She goes to the tomb, that she may weep there.

32 Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.33 Jesus therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit, and was troubled,34 and said, Where have ye put him? They say to him, Lord, come and see.35 Jesus wept.

36 The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!37 And some of them said, Could not this [man], who has opened the eyes of the blind [man], have caused that this [man] also should not have died?38 Jesus therefore, again deeply moved in himself, comes to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.39 Jesus says, Take away the

Many people today look for satisfaction in their career, money and possessions but the bible tells us that only Christ can truly satisfy our souls. The Gospel is preached that you may be introduced to the Saviour of the world, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Galatians 1:3-4 “our Lord Jesus Christ,4 who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world.”

John 4:4-14 4 And he must needs pass through Samaria.5 He comes therefore to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near to the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.6 Now a fountain of Jacob’s was there; Jesus therefore, being wearied with the way he had come, sat just as he was at the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.7 A woman comes out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to drink8 (for his disciples had gone away into the city that they might buy provisions).

9 The Samaritan woman therefore says to him, How dost thou, being a Jew, ask to drink of me who am a Samaritan woman? for Jews have no intercourse with Samaritans.10 Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that says to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.11 The woman says to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou the living water?

12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?13 Jesus answered and said to her, Every one who drinks of this water shall thirst again;14 but whosoever drinks of the water which I shall give him shall never thirst for ever, but the water which I shall give him shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into eternal life.”

Mark 10:17-22 “17 And as he went forth into the way, a person ran up to [him], and kneeling to him asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?18 But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? no one is good but one, [that is] God.19 Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.20 And he answering said to him, Teacher, all these things have I kept from my youth.

21 And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, One thing lackest thou: go, sell whatever thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, [taking up the cross].22 But he, sad at the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions.”

1 Samuel 1:1-3 “And there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite.2 And he had two wives: the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah; and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.3 And this man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to Jehovah of hosts in Shiloh.”

1 Samuel 1:9-13 “And Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk; (now Eli the priest sat upon the seat by the door-post of the temple of Jehovah;)10 and she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Jehovah, and wept much.11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O Jehovah of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but wilt give unto thy handmaid a man child, then I will give him to Jehovah all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.12 And it came to pass as she continued praying before Jehovah, that Eli marked her mouth.13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard; and Eli thought she was drunken.”

1 Samuel 1:19-20 “19 And they rose up early in the morning and worshipped before Jehovah, and returned and came to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and Jehovah remembered her.20 And it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bore a son, and called his name Samuel, [saying,] Because I have asked him of Jehovah.”

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Luke 5:17-26 “17 And it came to pass on one of the days, that *he* was teaching, and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and [out of] Jerusalem; and [the] Lord’s power was [there] to heal them.18 And lo, men bringing upon a couch a man who was paralysed; and they sought to bring him in, and put [him] before him.

19 And not finding what way to bring him in, on account of the crowd, going up on the housetop they let him down through the tiles, with his little couch, into the midst before Jesus.20 And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason [in their minds], saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins but God alone?

22 But Jesus, knowing their reasonings, answering said to them, Why reason ye in your hearts?23 which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?24 But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralysed man, I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy little couch and go to thine house.25 And immediately standing up before them, having taken up that whereon he was laid, he departed to his house, glorifying God.26 And astonishment seized all, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.”

4 And there were some indignant in themselves, and saying, Why has this waste been made of the ointment?5 for this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor. And they spoke very angrily at her.

6 But Jesus said, Let her alone; why do ye trouble her? she has wrought a good work as to me;7 for ye have the poor always with you, and whenever ye would ye can do them good; but me ye have not always.

8 What *she* could she has done. She has beforehand anointed my body for the burial.9 And verily I say unto you, Wheresoever these glad tidings may be preached in the whole world, what this [woman] has done shall be also spoken of for a memorial of her.”

Mark 9:14-27 “14 And when he came to the disciples he saw a great crowd around them, and scribes disputing against them.15 And immediately all the crowd seeing him were amazed, and running to [him], saluted him.16 And he asked them, What do ye question with them about?17 And one out of the crowd answered him, Teacher, I brought to thee my son, who has a dumb spirit;

18 and wheresoever it seizes him it tears him, and he foams and gnashes his teeth, and he is withering away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they might cast him out, and they could not.19 But he answering them says, O unbelieving generation! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me.20 And they brought him to him. And seeing him the spirit immediately tore him; and falling upon the earth he rolled foaming.21 And he asked his father, How long a time is it that it has been like this with him? And he said, From childhood;22 and often it has cast him both into fire and into waters that it might destroy him: but if thou couldst [do] anything, be moved with pity on us, and help us.23 And Jesus said to him, The ‘if thou couldst’ is [if thou couldst] believe: all things are possible to him that believes.

24 And immediately the father of the young child crying out said [with tears], I believe, help mine unbelief.25 But Jesus, seeing that [the] crowd was running up together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, *I* command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.26 And having cried out and torn [him] much, he came out; and he became as if dead, so that the most said, He is dead.27 But Jesus, having taken hold of him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.”

Hebrews 11:1-6 “Now faith is [the] substantiating of things hoped for, [the] conviction of things not seen.2 For in [the power of] this the elders have obtained testimony.3 By faith we apprehend that the worlds were framed by [the] word of God, so that that which is seen should not take its origin from things which appear.

4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained testimony of being righteous, God bearing testimony to his gifts, and by it, having died, he yet speaks.5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him; for before [his] translation he has the testimony that he had pleased God.6 But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]. For he that draws near to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them who seek him out.”
