SERMON ILLUSTRATION FROM SPURGEON describe the necessity of the cross.

Spurgeon was a master illustrator. You can use this illustration in your preaching to describe the necessity of the cross.

 

God must punish sin. If a man stands in the track of an avalanche, he must be buried beneath it. If a man stands in the way of the laws of God, those laws must crush him. There was just one way of deliverance from the guilt of sin, and that was for God himself, in human form, to take the consequences of human sin on himself.
