When words fall short, the cross still speaks. The cross is at the center of Christian faith. But most Christians, if pressed, struggle to explain why Jesus had to die--or how his death saves. The New Testament offers ransom, sacrifice, reconciliation, victory, but no single, definitive answer. Why Did Jesus Have to Die? is a study for anyone who has sat with that question and wondered whether they were missing something. Bestselling author and senior pastor of The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kansas, Adam Hamilton argues that the problem may not be a lack of answers but a wrong question. What if the cross is not a transaction to be explained but a living Word from God meant to transform who we are and how we live? Drawing on the full range of New Testament metaphors for the crucifixion, Hamilton invites readers to move beyond a mechanical theory of atonement and into a deeper, more honest encounter with what the cross actually means. This is a six-session study. Video sessions are 10-12 minutes. In addition to the book, study components include a Leader Guide, DVD, and Sermon and Worship Download. Each book includes everything you need for a meaningful study experience, plus a companion code to redeem on Amplify Media and stream all video sessions and leader resources. Internet connection required. Code is non-transferable, may not be sold separately, and is subject to expiration.
