INTRODUCTION: The Message declares that God has saved us from his wrath through the blood of his Son. We are not walking towards Easter casually. We are walking towards the Cross with reverence, with awe, with trembling and with gratitude. 

Four points about the wrath of God:

1. The Wrath of God is Real and Righteous ROMANS 1:18

2. Tribulation is not Wrath. JOHN 16:33

3. Jesus Absorbed the Wrath We Deserved. ISAIAH 53:5

4. The Cross Guarantees Our Deliverance From Wrath. 1st Thessalonians 1:10
