Why Did Jesus Have to Die?
Before we can get to the end of the story, we need to travel back to the very beginning. At the beginning when God created Adam and Eve. In this scene is a beautiful garden where we see Adam eating the delicious fruit of a living tree. The next, we find ourselves standing at the foot of the hill so ugly, it was called, “the place of the skull.” Here, we find a wrecked man, battered, disfigured, and dying. He hung on a tree a cross gasping for air. The first man of this story is Adam, the second man of this story is our savior, Jesus. Jesus came to be a living sacrifice for our sins because humans have been corrupted by sin the moment Adam took that very first bite. Our sinful nature makes us want to do what we want, not what God wants. We are too darkened by our sin to find our way back to God on our own. And God’s justice requires that there be a price for our sin. Yet despite our flaws, God loves us and wants us to be reunited with him. Jesus, God

Rudyard Kipling, the great English poet of the first part of the 20th century, considered the strengths and influence of the British Empire but warned his fellow subjects of the crown that empires are fleeting. He mentions one in particular:
Far-called, our navies melt away;
On dune and headland sinks the fire:
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget lest we forget! Lest we forget lest we forget!
