We are all wired for justice and we are all told that forgiveness is a good thing.
But how do we balance those two things?
Can those two things coexist?
Is forgiveness fair?
These are all things that we have to wrestle with in Christianity because at the bottom of our heart we know that they can and indeed do, but how do we flesh that out?
How do we come to an understanding of what it is that we believe.
This is at the heart of what we’ve been discussing in this 2 part series, The Leap of Doubt, and The Reasons for God.
How do we understand what it is that we believe, or what it is that we’ve been told over the course of a lifetime.

Many people have asked over the course of time, "Why is the cross so necessary?”
Isn’t it enough just to focus on the love aspect of God.
Isn’t it enough to just focus on God being forgiving?
And this is such a worthy question because the cross is indeed at the center of what we believe right?
We, Christians, don’t just believe that Jesus was a really cool guy.
He wasn’t just some really profound activist or social justice warrior.
But what He performed, what He did, at the cross is at the center of our hope.
So is it true?
Is it true, this story of the Cross.

I beg those of you who would dare call yourself a believer, perk up tonight because this is the best encouragement that I can offer you.
And if you are not a believer, lean in, because this… is… life-changing.

THE DEATH OF JESUS
33 When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon., 34 And at three Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lemá sabachtháni?”
which is translated, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”,

37 Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed his last.
38 Then the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
39 When the centurion, who was standing opposite him, saw the way he breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”
Most of us have poured over this narrative before.
Many of us have seen depictions or even movies that paint out what much of this may have looked like.
But what I want to happen tonight as we consider these few verses is consider what truth lies behind it all.
What does it all mean that this man named Jesus came and died on a cross.
Why was it necessary?
What does that mean for me?

We spoke last week about the problem of sin, that our hearts wander away from the one for whom it was made and this has caused all sorts of chaos in this world, both on a global scale and within ourselves, right?
No one gets out of this life, unfortunately without experiencing the fallenness of this world and the fallenness of our own hearts.
We turn to things, stuff, ambitions and passions to fulfill us, all the while there is a God in Heaven who looks at you and says, “No, be with me!”

So something has to happen to remedy all of this, right?

You might ask, why? "Why can’t we just call it forgiveness and call it a day?”
To which I ask, is it possible to grant forgiveness and there not be some sort of payment?
