In the United States, we experience liberty today because someone died. As Christians, we also experience freedom from death because Jesus died for us. At Passover, the Israelites were protected from death by the blood of a lamb. Christians are protected by the blood of Jesus. Spiritually, we were born into death, bondage, and decay. But the blood of the Lamb changes everything. Is Jesus Christ a lamb, the lamb, or your lamb? This message was preached on July 6, 1975 when Dr. Wiersbe was the Sen...

Joshua, leading the Israelites from the wilderness into Canaan, foreshadows Jesus and the salvation He offers to the world. Joshua conquered his enemies and claimed his inheritance for Israel.

What is the difference between the unsaved and Christians? Christians realize the danger they’re in and run to God for refuge. In the Old Testament, cities of refuge were designated for people to flee to. Today, Christians have only to flee to Jesus as their city of refuge—a place of safety where God gives us righteousness, a shoulder to bear our burden, fellowship, blessing, and a new citizenship. This message was preached on June 15, 1975 when Dr. Wiersbe was the Senior Pastor at The Moody Chu...

The book of Isaiah is like a mini-Bible with 39 chapters of judgment and 27 chapters of salvation. At the heart of it is Isaiah 53 where we see the voluntary suffering of an innocent man for another person’s sin. Jesus suffered to pay the price for our sin. By His suffering, we were healed—and that’s unbelievable. It is the only way our sins can be forgiven, and the only way God’s demand for justice can be satisfied. Do you believe this Gospel message?
