When asked what happened when Jesus was crucified, many Christians can give little more than short, pithy summaries: 'He was dying for our sins' or 'He was taking our punishment' or 'He was showing how much God loved us.' The Bible has more to say. As preparation for Good Friday, this lecture explores the deep terror and unspeakable comfort of the brutal execution at the heart of Christian faith. A lecture given by Phillip Johnston (L'Abri Worker) at English L'Abri on 23rd March, 2018. For more information, visit labri.org/england and for more L'Abri lectures, visit the L'Abri Ideas Library. For further exploration: Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament (Christopher J.H. Wright) The New Testament and the People of God (N.T. Wright) The Crucifixion: Understanding the Death of Jesus Christ (Fleming Rutledge)
