Why God wants His Son Jesus to die on the cross?


God is just. In His justice, God must reward the righteous and punished the sinner.
All human being are sinner , God must punish all with eternal condemnation.
However, God is Love, too. He loves and wants to save all human beings.
Therefore, God made a good plan that He maintain justice but save human being , too out of love.
The result was, He sent His Son Jesus in the world to die on our behalf and save us. Read how the Bible says,
“ For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” (John 3:16-18) 

Jesus knew everything including His death approaching and who would betray Him.
“Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.” (John 12:23)

Jesus could pray to God to protect Him. But He did not. He, rather willingly accept the punishment for our sin.  He offer His life and died for us so that the requirement of God may be fulfilled that Jesus must die to save us. Jesus called His coming death on the cross ‘glorified’!
Because, He loves you and me. He knew if He die, we will have eternal life.
Now, Jesus had died and all who believes in Him have life.

Hope you believe Him and have ‘eternal life’. If not, you are already condemned and will face eternal death.
Now, you still have earthly life and have chance to believe.
Call on Jesus in prayer and receive Him for your Lord and Saviour.
If you have already believe and received Him, thank God everyday. Read the Bible daily and pray continually.  And,

Celebrate Good Friday to glorify Him.



May God Bless you.
