Ep. 69: For our Sake He was Crucified
Manage episode 347929907 series 3261168
When thinking of the most prolific symbols found in Christianity, none is more striking than that of the cross. The cross today is regarded more as a symbol of peace and faith; very seldom do we remember how Roman officials reserved crucifixion as a genius punishment reserved for the most diabolical of criminals. In today's episode, we discuss the importance of Jesus' crucifixion, how His death fulfilled Old Testament prophecies, as well as how it was perceived by the Jews, Romans, and new Christians at that time. The aim of learning about His crucifixion will help us understand what it meant for Christ to say "It is finished" before taking His final breath.
