He died for us - DB

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Ro. 5:6

We know from reading the scriptures the events that surrounded Jesus’ death. He was betrayed by His friends and falsely accused by His enemies. He was beaten, stripped and nailed to the cross. Between two thieves, He suffered the agony of crucifixion and death.

While it is important to know what happened, it is more important to know why Jesus died on the cross. He died for us. He took upon Himself our sins and paid the penalty for our transgressions. When we were unable to help ourselves, Christ died for us. His sacrifice is our salvation if only we believe.
