The Necessity Of The Cross

The cross is not just a moment in history, it is the turning point of eternity. It was not accidental or avoidable, it was absolutely necessary. Jesus Himself declared it, and the Father willed it. No other sacrifice could pay for sin. No other Savior could bear its weight. Only Jesus, fully God and fully man, could stand in our place.

At the cross, justice and mercy collided. Sin was judged, and grace was poured out. The ransom was paid, the way was made, and hope was secured. This is why the cross matters. It is not one way among many, it is the only way to life.
