Everyone knows of the crucifixion of Jesus, the most significant event in human history. But how many know the true purpose and meaning of his crucifixion? Why did the Father send his Son to the cross? Why did Jesus have to die? What did his death accomplish? This book answers these and other questions. Imagine bearing the weight of every sin committed by every person who has ever lived. Or think of how Jesus' death restored our severed relationship with God. And his death accomplished something truly amazing. It was the deciding blow against Satan, ending his long war with God. These and other reasons for the Savior's death may not be the usual theology textbook reasons, yet each one explored is both biblical and personal. Readers will find themselves in these pages, just as they find themselves in God's redemptive story that played out one Friday at a place called Calvary.
