Why exactly did Jesus have to die? Why did God orchestrate things that way? Why blood? Did God kill Jesus instead of killing me?
Many times we jump to conclusion about God or Jesus based on limited information. This week we address the hard to understand parts of the cross and how God is always on a mission to live among his people.
This week we dive deep into the ancient practice of animal sacrifice, The Day of Atonement, the Tabernacle, and how it all points to amazing grace and fulfillment in the cross.
