Ancient Faith: Crucified, Died and Was Buried

Understanding the Gospel: Christ Crucified, Died, and Buried explores the fundamental Christian message that has been passed down through generations. Discover the core elements of the gospel as outlined in 1 Corinthians 15: Christ died for our sins according to Scripture, was buried, rose on the third day, and appeared to numerous witnesses including over 500 people at once. Learn about the historical evidence confirming Jesus' death, from his own predictions to the Roman execution process and burial preparations. This message examines who bears responsibility for Jesus' death—historically Pontius Pilate, but spiritually all humanity whose sins drove Jesus to the cross. Most importantly, understand that Jesus went willingly out of love, laying down his life voluntarily as stated in John 10. Reflect on how this sacrifice should transform our perspective on sin, salvation, gratitude, and how we treat others.
