Why did Jesus have to die?

from Not for Sunday Mornings · host Chris and Steve

Send us a message. We’d love to hear from you!Can God really forgive without justice? Why all the blood sacrifices? And… will we still be married in heaven?This week on Not For Sunday Mornings, Chris is officially in the hot seat after preaching on one of Christianity’s biggest questions: Why did Jesus have to die? Steve pushes back on everything from God’s justice and the sacrificial system to the torn temple veil and what it actually means to live forgiven. Along the way they wander into Hebrews, Leviticus, Indiana Jones (sort of), and somehow end up answering a listener’s question about marriage in heaven. If you’ve ever wondered why the cross was necessary this conversation is for you.
