Main Idea: Jesus died a horrible death so we could live for eternity.

Verse: Jesus “Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness…” (1 Peter 2:24 NKJV).

Illustration: A man was sentenced to a horrible death. He was to be buried up to his neck next to an anthill with honey poured over him. But the ruler of the city had mercy on him and offered to take his place. This is what God did for us. Jesus took our place so we would not have to die.
