The Uncomfortable Gospel: Why Jesus Had to Die
Description
The gospel is good news—but only when we first understand the bad news. In this episode, we tackle the uncomfortable but essential truth of why Jesus had to die. Many today reshape the gospel to make it more appealing, often downplaying the wrath of God. But Scripture makes it clear: humanity’s greatest problem is not just sin or Satan—it’s being under the wrath of a holy and just God.
We explore key biblical truths about God’s holiness, justice, righteousness, and love, revealing why His wrath against sin is not just necessary but an expression of His perfect character. Through powerful analogies and Scripture—Jude 3-4, Galatians 1:6-10, Romans 1:18 , and more—we confront the hard reality that sin against an infinitely holy God demands an eternal consequence.
But here’s the good news: Jesus took that infinite punishment upon Himself. He is the only one who could satisfy divine justice and reconcile us to God. Without the wrath of God at the forefront, Christ’s sacrifice loses its meaning. Join us as we unpack the weight of the gospel and why Jesus’ death was not just an act of love—it was an absolute necessity.
Tune in and wrestle with the uncomfortable truth that leads to the greatest hope.
