Why Did God Have to Kill His Son?

Why did Jesus die on the Cross? Did God really kill Jesus because he was angry at us? These questions point to the heart of God's character, and many of us are afraid of the answer. But when we understand how the Bible talks about God's wrath, we see the Cross not as an angry God defending his own reputation, but rather as the one who created and loves us saving us from ourselves.

Dusty Frizzell podcast Dusty Frizzell My name is Dusty Frizzell. My wife Amy and I have two sons, Asher and Silas. I grew up in a small town in Missouri. Great childhood; rebellious adolescence. I openly mocked most things religious as a crutch. Until one normal Tuesday morning in 1993, 17-years old, buzzed on alcohol, I encountered things I didn't believe in and realized that I too was spiritually crippled. At three that morning, I gave my life to Jesus Christ. Graduated high school in 1994; got a bachelor's of biblical literature 5 years later and for the next 8 years I was a Jr. High/High School youth pastor at a Christian Church in South West Missouri. I've been the High School Pastor in the Los Angeles area at Shepherd of the Hills Church since June 2005. You'll find some random sermons here from camps, conferences & other places.
