Christ Became a Curse That We Might Become a Blessing -- Zac Poonen -- August 3, 2022
Summary
The sermon contrasts the curses incurred by sin in Genesis, distinguishing between sins that harm only the self (Genesis 3) and those that harm others (Genesis 4), arguing the latter are more serious. The speaker then pivots to Galatians 3, emphasizing that Christ became a curse for humanity by enduring crucifixion, which was required by Mosaic Law. Ultimately, Christ's perfect life, including being tempted in every way we are, allowed him to overcome sin through the power of the Holy Spirit and grace.

Zac Poonen · Aug 1, 2025
Jesus became a curse on the cross to redeem humanity from the curse of sin, fulfilling Deuteronomy 21. This act allowed the blessing of Abraham to come to believers through the Holy Spirit. When filled with the Spirit, believers overcome sin and become a blessing to every family they encounter, leaving the aroma of Christ wherever they go.
