Why Did Jesus Die? (10 of 11)
Series: Apologetics

1 Corinthians 15:3


Over the last few weeks we have asked and answered many different questions?

1. Is there such a thing as truth and does it matter?
2. Does God really exist? In answering that question we gave some rational, philosophical and scientific proofs that God is real.
3. How can I know this God? We discovered that God has revealed Himself through His Word. We gave evidences to help us understand the reliability and veracity of the Bible.
4. Since Jesus Christ is the central character of history and the Bible we asked the question who is this Jesus. Is He God's Son? Is He the only way to heaven?
5. As a final proof for all these questions, one more piece of evidence in what has become an overwhelming case in favor of Christianity we asked did Jesus Christ really die and come back from the dead.

For many these questions were never really an area of doubt in your life. They never posed a problem for you personally. For others these questions were not problems but obstacles of monumental proportions that had to be sufficiently dealt with in order for me to tell you what I want to tell you today. For many in our relativistic, skeptical and pluralistic society they needed some groundwork to be laid ahead of time so that we could ask and answer this question.

Why did Jesus Christ come to die? We have seen how He stepped out of heaven and suffered on the cross. We have seen how He was placed in a borrowed tomb and raised to life, but why? It is that question I want to answer today.

I want us to return to the passage we looked at last week that we used to construct a case for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Encapsulated in these verses we find the most glorious, wondrous and amazing story ever told. In these verses we find the good news of all the ages.
