Why Did Jesus Have to Die?

from The Vicar’s Study: Faith and Hope for an Unsteady World · host The Very Rev. Chris Findley

Fr. Chris responds to a recent Tik-Tok creator who suggests that Jesus did not have to die for our sins.  By looking at the attributes of God and the true nature of sin, we understand better the divide that existed between us and God.  Not only that, but when we examine the role of the Old Testament sacrificial system, Jesus own death can be viewed in a new light.  When we examine these things we begin to grasp how love and justice, mercy and accountability fit into the economy of God.
