What kind of death did Jesus die on the cross?
Jesus became obedient unto death, not an ordinary death, but the most horrible death ever devised, the death of the cross. It is so complex that even a thousand years of life could not comprehend it, but so simple that all God asks is belief.
Les teaches that Jesus humbled Himself of His own volition and became obedient unto death—not just an ordinary death, but the most horrible death ever devised, the death of the cross. He explains this is the very bedrock of our salvation: so simple that people stumble over it, yet so complex that even a thousand years of life would never suffice to comprehend it. It is impossible for humans to comprehend the power of the work of the cross. All God asks is that we believe it, and the world refuses to do so. Les also connects this to Galatians 2 and Ephesians 2, where He gave Himself for our sins to deliver us from this present evil world.
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
