Why did Jesus have to die? Here's what most people miss about the cross. Ep 170

from The Kirk Cameron Show · host Kirk Cameron

If God is all-powerful, why couldn't He just forgive us and skip the cross? Kirk and James dig into one of the most important questions in the Christian faith: why Jesus actually had to die. They break down the tension between God's justice and His mercy, why sin demands a real penalty, and how the cross is the only place where both get satisfied without compromise. Along the way, James shares a gut-punch story about a father, a son, and a lake full of alligators that reframes what grace really costs. This one gets to the heart of the gospel.
