This morning’s sermon is delivered by the Reverend George Speers.
In this sermon on Hebrews 10, the Reverend George Speers asks why Jesus had to die the way he did, and whether God could have saved sinners by some other means. Rev Speers grounds his answer in the nature of God — his love and his holiness — before setting out four lines of biblical evidence for the absolute necessity of the atonement: Gethsemane, the Emmaus road, the holiness of God, and the teaching of Hebrews. He concludes that the cross is not one option among several but the only way consistent with who God is.
