Why did Jesus have to die? Here's what most people miss about the cross. Ep 170
About this episode
Kirk and James explore the necessity of Jesus' death and the balance between God's justice and mercy.
If God is all-powerful, why couldn't He just forgive us and skip the cross? Kirk and James dig into one of the most important questions in the Christian faith: why Jesus actually had to die. They break down the tension between God's justice and His mercy, why sin demands a real penalty, and how the cross is the only place where both get satisfied without compromise. Along the way, James shares a gut-punch story about a father, a son, and a lake full of alligators that reframes what grace really costs. This one gets to the heart of the gospel.
