Welcome to a new episode of Open the Bible with Pastor Colin Smith. Today, we Explore the nature of belief, the misconceptions about Jesus, and the astonishing reality of His sacrifice. People assumed that Jesus, through his crucifixion, was being disciplined by God for his own sins. However, as we'll discover, the cross was in fact a moment of substitution, carrying a deep significance that speaks directly to our spiritual condition.

In this engaging broadcast, we unravel the biblical narrative that depicts a God intent on restoring all that was lost due to sin, culminating in a new creation free from sorrow and pain. As we continue our journey through Isaiah’s prophecy, we come to understand the gravity of Jesus’ death on the cross - not as a punishment for his own sins, but as our substitute, "pierced for our transgressions and crushed for our iniquities."
