A short sermon excerpt arguing that Jesus bore the sins of all humanity on the cross, becoming 'sin' despite never having sinned, and that his spiritual suffering (evidenced by his cry, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?') was extraordinarily intense—framed ultimately as an expression of God’s love.
Chapters
The most sinful place in the history of the world is the cross. Jesus became the most sinful man that ever lived. You know why the scripture says he became sin for us? He had never known sin. All of a sudden, he not only had the sins of the people of that generation, but he had the sins of all mankind, every person that will ever live. He had the sins on him. He became guilty of every single sin think that had never sinned. And all of a sudden, every sin he's guilty of. His suffering was 10,000 times worse than that of the average man who would be crucified. He was suffering spiritually when he cried, my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? The suffering hands of Jesus. I see sin, but I also see something else. On the cross, I see the love of God.
