The burden of the New Testament is that Jesus dies a substitutionary death. He does not deserve to die. When God sent Him to do His Father’s will, to go to the cross and die, it was with a purpose: to die our death so that we do not have to die, so that we may have eternal life. But we must trust Him and discover that His life becomes ours as our death becomes His. His life becomes ours! Much of the New Testament is given to unpacking precisely that point.
