” I find it terrible that the Christians are teaching that the Son of God had to die the horrible death on the cross. What a terrible God to demand such an offering. Was there no other way to reconcile us?”

A friend confronted Pastor W. Busch with that question when he was still a student. That question made Busch go for a long walk in the night to find an answer. Was there no other solution?

The Son of God, Jesus, had the same question. Read Matthew 26:39. But there was not a long explanation forthcoming, but the simple answer,”NO, there is NO other way!”

God is just and his justice demands the death of the sinner or the death of a substitute.

The Lord Jesus was willing to drink the cup and reconcile us with God. Let us be thankful for his love for us.

THE GOSPEL IS NOT DIFFICULT!

God is there!

We are sinners!
