Subject: Did Jesus have to die? |
Bible Note: Mommapbs: Poignant as it was, the most significant aspect of Jesus' Passion was not the penitent criminal, in my view. It was Jesus' words, "It is finished." Had not Jesus finished the work that the Father gave Him to do, all mankind would ever be doomed by sin. Were it not for the finished work of Jesus on the Cross, there could be no propitiation for sin and all in the world would die in their sins. This is the sole message and purpose of the Cross. --Hank |
