Chapter 2 - Why Did Christ Die?

Why did Christ die? What are the reasons Scripture gives for his crucifixion?

This week we look at these reasons, and we find that they are both human and divine. He was given up, and he gave himself up; he died at the hands of sinful men, and he died according to the perfect plan and foreknowledge of his Father.

At bottom, as Stott states in the chapter, we must say, "I did it--my sins put him there." Thanks be to God, we can also say, "He did it--his love took him there."
