Day 7: Sacrifice and Atonement

In what might seem like a surprising twist in the story, Jesus is killed. (Spoiler alert: he comes back to life!)

But why did Jesus have to die? God is on a mission to remove evil from his good world, along with all of its corrosive effects. And he wants to do it in a way that does not involve removing humans.

In today’s video, we’ll explore the theme of sacrifice and atonement. We’ll look at how God “covers” over human evil through animal sacrifices and see how that ancient ritual ultimately points to Jesus and his death and resurrection.

Today, you’ll read through several passages written by New Testament authors about the meaning of Jesus’ death.
