UpWords with Max Lucado on Oneplace.com - Why Did He Do It?

0:00This is Max Locato. Why did Jesus live on the earth as long as he did? To take on our sins is one thing, to experience death, yes? But to put up with the long roads, the long days, why did he do it? Because he wants you to trusting. Even his final act on earth was intended to win your trust. Mark 1522 says, they brought Jesus to the place called Galgotha, where they offered him wine mixed with morn. But he did not take it, and they crucified him. Why? Why did he endure all this suffering, all these feelings? Well, because he knew you'd be weary, disturbed and angry. He knew you'd be grief-stricken and hungry that you'd face pain. A pauper knows better than to beg from another pauper. He needs someone who's stronger than he is. Jesus' message from the cross is this. I am that person. Trust me.
