Description: We are in our second week of a new segment in looking at Jesus Christ. We’ve looked at what He did, and how He came, and what He taught, and what He claimed, and now we are asking, “Why Did He Die?” His entire life had been moving to this point of His death. And last week, we saw that He didn’t just die, He was killed. The religious leaders hated Him because He undermined their institutions, exposed who they really were, and threatened their power and influence among the people. So they stirred up the crowd, and they persuaded the Roman authorities. And on Passover weekend 33 AD, they killed Jesus of Nazareth by nailing Him to a Roman cross. Today, we peel back another layer of the onion of what was really going on that Friday in April, and we are going to see Jesus wasn’t just killed, He was laying down His life. We are going to look primarily at two passages this morning. John 10:11-18, where Jesus explicitly says this, and John 18:1-11 where it becomes crystal clear just what He is doing. Join us on this journey!
