Hey Annie, what would be a good topic for the next what video? Hmm, how about how did

00:09

Jesus die? There's some people who don't know that one. Well, that's a good point. So let me ask you, how did

00:15

Jesus die? Well, he died on the cross for our sins. That's right. Now here's another question. Who killed

00:21

Jesus? Well, I don't know. Well, some say the Romans and others say the Jews, but Isaiah 53 .10

00:26

says it was the will of the Lord to crush him. In Acts 2 .23 it says that Jesus was delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God.

00:35

And in Romans 3 .25 it says that God put Jesus forward as a sacrifice. So, who would you say killed

00:41

Jesus? God did? That's right. It was God who killed Jesus. But why did God do that?

00:46

Because he loves us. In pagan religions, people thought they had to do something for their made -up gods to appease their wrath.

00:53

For example, the people thought they had to sacrifice to the false god Baal or he wouldn't send rain. But the true

00:59

God became a man, lived a perfect life, died in the place of his people whose sins were placed on him, and he was crushed by the justice of God that we deserved.

01:09

Our God appeased himself. 1 John 4 .10 says, In this is love, not that we have loved

01:15

God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

01:21

Propitiation is a big word, but it basically means that Jesus satisfied the wrath of God. What do you think about that?

01:27

That's pretty awesome. It's all pretty awesome when we understand the text. That was cheesy,
