The Predetermined Sacrifice of Christ

The cross was not a surprise; it was planned a long time before the day Jesus was arrested, unjustly condemned to die, nailed to those 2 beams of wood, & lifted high. And this morning I ask, “How long before the actual death of Jesus was His substitutionary death planned?” Well, we’re going to walk backwards through time to answer that. Just as the early church needed to be reminded that the cross was not unexpected but instead preplanned, so do we.

        As we begin, first I’d like to remind you that Jesus predicted the cross.
