The Crucifixion (Life of Christ Sermon 45)

The gravest miscarriage of justice in all of history is described in the gospels with the simple words, “they crucified him.” Behind this simple phrase is an act of suffering and death. And yet, as terrible as the crucifixion was, it was part of God’s plan. Jesus’ death served as a sin-bearing sacrifice for all humanity, thus giving all mankind hope of redemption and eternal life. This lesson reviews the four gospels and their accounts of that awful day when Jesus gave up His life for our sins.
