If God is all-powerful, couldn't He just forgive us without the Cross? Why did we need the blood and sacrifice? In this episode, Pastor John tackles the hardest question in Christianity and reveals why Jesus' death wasn't optional—it was necessary. Discover why sin demands payment, not just pardon. Learn how the Cross satisfies both God's justice and God's love at the same time. And understand why Jesus didn't die as a victim, but as your substitute. This is the gospel in its rawest, most powerful form.
