We hear a lot of hell-fire and brimstone preaching to sinners. There is a hell. There is fire. And there is brimstone. But I want to present the Gospel to people in the manner the Bible presented it.
Sinners are prisoners.
But there is hope for the prisoners of sin. Though we are guilty of sin that demands vengeance in the form of death, and though the penalty cannot be paid any other than by our death, the death of the High Priest sets us free from the penalty. The picture of the high priest dying instead of the unintentional murderer is a perfect picture of Jesus, the great High Priest, dying instead of us. And the wonderful thing is that our High Priest, died and then rose from the dead. And the unintentional murderer could return to the land where his home is.
