Why Did Jesus Die?

As Good Friday approaches We
are all made aware whether
we belong to church or not.
whether we are orthodox" or not
that this Friday commentaries
the death OF Jesus more than 10
centuries ago. 1t is fact that no
other death in the world his
tory has been so wildly remem-
bered Few biographies in the
worlds libraries give as large a
part OF their space to the death
Of their heroes as the Gospels do
to the death of Christ. 1t is plain
that the church sees in the death
of Christ something quite different
from the simple statement that has
to go into every mans recor d:
HE died. =
1t is something much more than
an item in the vital statistics of
the old Roman Empire The deep
er significance If the Cross comes
out when we ask the simple queS-
ton: Why did Jesus die?
