Jesus Christ saved us from sin and reconciled us with the Father. Why did it cost him his life, poured out in crucifixion on a cross? Was this just inevitable punishment from God the Father, inflicted on his Son instead of us?
Dr. Edward Sri unpacks Christ’s atonement for us and shows us how Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross was not just the result of holy retribution but a pure act of divine love.
Dr. Sri also wrote an incredible Pocket Guide to the Stations of the Cross. Check it out!
