Why did Jesus choose the cross? Why did He willingly walk to Calvary when He could have turned away? In this message, Pastor Justin McLane unpacks the depth of God’s justice, the reality of human sin, and the perfection of Christ’s sacrifice.
Drawing from Genesis 6:5, Romans 3:9–20, Romans 1:18–24, 1 Corinthians 15:3–4, and Deuteronomy 32:4, we see the full story of why the cross was necessary:
Humanity’s corruption and rebellion demanded judgment.
God’s holiness and justice could not ignore sin.
Jesus bore the penalty we could never pay, fulfilling the Scriptures.
His death and resurrection secured our forgiveness and eternal hope.
This sermon is a call to look beyond the surface of Good Friday and recognize the weight of sin, the perfection of God’s justice, and the unstoppable power of Christ’s love.
If this message speaks to you, share it with someone who needs the hope of the gospel.
