How Important Is the Sacrifice of Christ?

What is the most-prophesied event in the Bible? How would you answer that question? If your answer is the Millennium, the 1,000 year reign of Christ on earth, you have selected event number three, with 46 prophecies describing this event. If your answer is the second coming of Christ, you have selected event number two, with 52 prophecies describing this awesome event. And, if your answer is Christ’s sacrifice and death, you have selected event number one, with 58 prophecies! (Source: Encyclopedia of Bible Prophecy, by J. Barton Payne). The most-prophesied event in the Bible is the subject you and I should be concentrating on this time of the year. Think about it – HOW IMPORTANT IS CHRIST’S SACRIFICE AND DEATH? John the Baptist pointed His disciples to Jesus Christ – “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John:1:29). How important is the sacrifice of Christ?
