Sermon Illustrations for Good Friday (2021)
Isaiah 52:13--53:12
Sometimes a movie or book begins with the ending to show us the protagonist achieved something worthwhile. It then goes back to the beginning to show us how it was done. Take the movie A League of Her Own, about the women’s baseball league that was instituted during World War II. The movie opens with an older woman returning to the scene of past glories, having lived a full life and achieved many things. Then we see her as a young woman decades earlier as a country girl who milks cows and plays baseball.
