In this episode, author and professor Josh NcNall talks about his 10-year-old daughter’s struggle. Although they experienced a recent death in the family that caused sadness, Jesus’ death was called "good news." During their devotions one evening, she asked her dad, “How does Jesus save us by dying on the cross?” It was not a simple and straightforward answer.

While atonement is a central theme of Christianity, the ensuing question “How?” demands attention. How does a brutal and shameful crucifixion provide salvation?

Josh was prompted to write about atonement theology – how God reconciles us to Himself through Christ’s atoning death and resurrection, yet in a way everyone can understand. The book is called “Jesus Saves Us” and is available where books are sold.
