Haman's Judgment

Haman’s Judgment: an invitation to Salvation

Why must he die?

Why is death always so prevalent?

“For the wages of sin is death”

 Romans 6:23

“without shedding of blood there is no remission”

  Hebrews 9:22

Haman is a sinner like us

•         Born under judgment – “the son of the Agagite” Esther 3:1

•         “through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned” Romans 5:12

Haman is a sinner like us

•         Judged for his “sin”

•         Sin is “wrongdoing” and “falling short” Romans 3:23

Death:

spiritual and physical death

•         “hell” – fire, describing eternal torment

•         Luke 16: 19-26 died, buried, and in torment

•         Matthew 18: 8-9 “the everlasting fire”

•         Rev. 14: 11 “the smoke of their torment ascends forever”

 “So hell, when all is said and done, is the absence of God’s goodness and blessedness … the absence of anything we can think of that’s good, right, comforting, joyous, happy, and peaceful. It’s a pretty terrifying place.”   Matt Chandler – The Explicit Gospel

Jesus’ Death:  

a necessary substitute

“by grace” through “redemption in Christ Jesus” because of His “payment by His blood” 

Romans 3:24-25

“the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal LIFE through Jesus Christ our Lord”  Romans 6:23
