Why did Jesus have to die? On this episode of #HopeatHome, we will learn about Jesus and the most heroic death imaginable. He sacrificed Himself willingly and chose to suffer on our behalf, so that we wouldn't need to. At the Garden of Gethsemane, when Jesus was experiencing overwhelming pain, "He sees that the transgressors of the law, if left to themselves, must perish. He sees the helplessness of man. He sees the power of sin. The woes and lamentations of a doomed world rise before Him. He beholds its impending fate, and His decision is made. He will save man at any cost to Himself. He accepts His baptism of blood, that through Him perishing millions may gain everlasting life. He has left the courts of heaven, where all is purity, happiness, and glory, to save the one lost sheep." (Desire of Ages 690.3) If that is not the most incredible demonstration of love, then we don't know what is!
