"And he said to them, 'O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?' And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself."
Luke 24:25-27
It was not necessary for Christ to save us. God owes us nothing. But in choosing to save us, the cross became a necessity! Think about it. God was not obligated to provide the sinner with a means of salvation. It was not a necessity. But in choosing to offer Christ as the atonement for sin, the cross became absolutely necessary. Understanding this makes grace even more amazing and the mercies of God even more breathtaking. May we love him who "put away sin by the sacrifice of himself."
