Why Did Jesus Have to Die?

January 14, 2018 ()

Bible Text: Hebrews 9:15-26 |

Series:

The Bible is clear that the death of Jesus guarantees forgiveness for his followers, but why is this? How does Jesus death relate to forgiveness? Why did he have to die for God to forgive?

We explore this question for both the original hearers of Hebrews as well as bringing understanding to the modern mind.



Hebrews

In the book of Hebrews we are reminded again and again of the supremacy of Christ. It is a call to see Christ as the greatest treasure and to cling to him in faith and with all your might. May this book stir our hearts to love Christ more and more.
