Sermon Illustrations for Good Friday (2013)
Isaiah 52:13--53:12
The Revolutionary War was not going well for the Americans, as the British were continually defeating the Continental Army on the fields of battle. A victory was needed, and George Washington saw his opportunity to defeat the Hessian mercenaries in Trenton on the day after Christmas. Prior to the battle, Washington wrote himself a note that simply read "Victory or death."
Washington and his troops, after crossing the Delaware River on that cold winter's night, did secure victory in the Battle of Trenton.
