## Resource

Why the cross? Jesus’ death was not random—it was full of divine purpose. The cross stands at the heart of the gospel, showing us what Jesus accomplished for us: restoring humanity, satisfying God’s justice, taking our place, and defeating sin and death. The more we understand the cross, the more we are able to trust and follow Him.
