C-the “c” stands for Christ. Jesus Christ, the
Son of God, died for you. Jesus lived here on earth about 2,000 years ago. He
didn’t die of old age or disease. He died young—for you! The Bible says, “But
God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were
still sinners.” (Romans 5:8)
The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ is God. When he lived
on earth, he did many miracles proving this, like healing the sick, forgiving
sins, and even making dead people alive again! After he died for our sins, he
came back from the dead (rose again), never to die again. This showed his power
even over death—he conquered death.
Jesus died on a cross. In Jesus’ days, the cross was
something the government used to torture people while they died. It was the
worst form of punishment at that time.
But why did Jesus die on the cross?
