This is the first of several posts listing the quotes from the messages on the five15 retreat. I’ve broken them into several posts so they won’t be too long. I’ll be posting them over the next couple days, about one week after the actual main session for each one. Here’s the first installment.

Quotes for my message:
“One Thing God Can’t Do”
Matthew 26:36-46

“Because God is holy, He hates all sin; and because He hates all sin, His anger burns against the sinner. The wrath of God is His eternal detestation of all unrighteousness. It is the displeasure and indignation of Divine equity against evil. It is the holiness of God stirred into activity against sin.” A.W. Pink.

“A divine rescue is necessary. We need a savior! And in order to be our savior, in order to pay our debt, this individual must be like us – not just God in a form that merely appears to be human, but someone fully and truly human. Yet he must be unlike us as well, because he must be sinless, since only a perfect sacrifice is acceptable. He must be fully God, and not simply a man with a limited set of divine powers and abilities.” C.J. Mahaney.

“Once God, in his love, decided to save some human beings, then several passages in Scripture indicate that there was no other way for God to do this than through the death of his Son…” Wayne Grudem.

“Divine love triumphed over divine wrath by divine self-sacrifice.” John Stott.

“As his death was unique, so also his anguish; and our best response to it is hushed worship.” D.A. Carson.
