In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the power of the word of God to touch people's hearts and provoke them to trust in Christ. He expresses his frustration with people who attend gospel meetings but leave without making a decision to follow Christ, assuming they will have another chance. The preacher then discusses a fictional story that illustrates the idea that if the world could find something or someone it feared or hated more than each other, it would unite against it. He relates this to the unity found at Calvary, where people from different backgrounds and beliefs came together to crucify Jesus. The sermon concludes by examining the crowd's denial, doubt, and dishonor of Christ, and highlights the importance of recognizing and responding to the truth of the gospel.

C.I. Scofield preaches on the powerful story of Barabbas, a rebel, robber, and murderer condemned to die, who was miraculously set free as Jesus took his place on the cross. Barabbas, representing all humanity, witnessed the innocent Jesus willingly becoming his substitute, dying in his place as a true act of grace and love. Through Barabbas' experience, we see a profound illustration of the atonement, where Christ's death was vicarious, substitutional, unmerited, and perfectly efficacious, leaving nothing for us to add but to accept it by faith.

Jonathan Edwards preaches about the importance of undertaking great endeavors for our own salvation, using Noah's obedience in building the ark as an example. He emphasizes the thorough and universal obedience of Noah, who followed all of God's commands diligently for his salvation. Edwards highlights the immense undertaking Noah faced in building the ark, which required great labor, care, and expense, lasting for 120 years. He urges listeners to be willing to engage in and persevere through the great work necessary for their eternal salvation, as the deluge of God's wrath will surely come, and those who neglect this work will be swallowed up in it, facing infinitely terrible destruction.
