Why did Jesus have to die? It's a question worth sitting with rather than rushing past. This post traces the story from Genesis, where sin and death first entered the world, through the sacrificial system of ancient Israel, to the cross and resurrection of Jesus. Along the way, it explores why sacrifice was necessary, what the resurrection actually accomplished, and what freedom from sin and death means for anyone following Jesus today.
