The Crucified King

Luke 23

Jesus gave up His life to provide salvation to all who repent of their sin.

Jesus willingly took up His cross and suffered the judgement our sins deserve. At the moment He died, the curtain in the temple sanctuary was torn in two, signifying that sinners have access to God through the blood of Christ. The crucifixion of Jesus is the center of history, revealing God's holiness and justice, our sinfulness and unrighteousness, and Christ's humility and love.

Because Jesus died in our place to pay for our sins, we not only proclaim to the world that Jesus died on the cross but also why He died.
