Podcast 304 -- Why Did the Messiah Have to Die? Isaiah 9:6-7, 53:1-6, 10-13; John 19:16-22, 28-30

No Church Answers!

In order to defeat sin and death, the Messiah had to battle sin and death, a battle played out on the Cross. In Simply Jesus, even N.T. Wright admits that in human terms, this was "the craziest vocation one could imagine." But these were cosmic terms, not mere human. Calling back to last week's podcast, this was the great Battle and this was how the Temple was cleansed and restored. Join us as we move past the simple church answer of "It was all God's plan" and discuss the divine purpose and miraculous work that lies behind it.
