What the Cross Shows Us
By Greg Laurie
“God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.”
—John 3:17
The last thing God wants is for anyone to go to Hell. That is why Jesus spoke of it in detail. That is why He warned us about it. And that is why Jesus did everything He could do for us so that we would not have to be separated from Him for all eternity.
Jesus Christ experienced Hell on earth so that we don’t have to experience it for eternity. When Jesus hung on the cross and bore the sins of the world, it was like Hell on earth. He was absorbing God’s wrath in our place, taking the judgment upon Himself. He was bearing our sin.
