Why did Jesus die?
Answer
Jesus died in our place, taking the punishment our sin deserved so that we could be forgiven and reconciled to God. His death was not a tragedy that overtook him but a rescue he chose out of love. Three days later he rose, defeating death itself.
“1 Peter 3:18” the Bible points here. Read more Scripture.
A prayer was here before you
You see a cross on a hill. You feel the weight of loss. Jesus endured it, knowing your sorrow. In the shadow of grief, remember the promise of new life. Even now, there is hope waiting for you. Hold on to that. Amen.
Someone in the family wrote this for whoever would one day read these words. You were thought of before you got here. If you want, a real person will pray with you, by name, at no cost and with no account. Ask them to pray with you.
Take the next step
You do not have to sort this out alone. On The Living Bread you can ask the family to pray with you, ask Simon anything about faith, read the Word, and find a church near you.
