What if he was the sacrifice who paid the penalty that you deserved for the sins that you've committed? He said, no, no, no, I'm paying for him. Not as some third party, but he is the God that we sinned against. So he's not some innocent third party. No, he is the God we sinned against. So he is the one who's gonna go to the cross to pay that penalty.
Because God loves you, he wants to spend eternity with you. And by wiping out the sin, clothing you in the righteousness of God, the doors of heaven are opened up and you can spend eternity with him forever. So I don't know what else God could have done. How else could he have achieved payment for the sins of the world, apart from forcing all of us to pay for our own sins?

I don't know how else he could have done it. I think it was the only path that makes sense to me. And I think, honestly, God has left a trail in history. For people like you and me and others who are curious, does this really make sense? Did Jesus really return from the dead and prove he's God and that Christianity is true and therefore we can trust what he says and so forth?

I think God intentionally left evidence that leads us, that can be used to lead us to the conclusion that Jesus is who he claimed to be. You know, when I was in law school, One of my heroes was a guy who was the greatest lawyer in the world. He was in the, later I think it was, he was in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most successful defense attorney who ever lived.

Yeah, nobody's ever done it. He's in the Guinness Book of World Records, greatest lawyer ever lived. He was a skeptic like I was about the resurrection. He thought, Jesus didn't return from the dead and prove. He says, give me a break. And someone challenged him, Sir Lionel, you're the greatest lawyer.

Have you ever taken your monumental legal skill and applied it to the historical record and come to an informed conclusion about whether or not Jesus did return from the dead? He said, no, I haven't, but I will. So he set out, he did what I did. He spent years investigating the evidence. And I'll recite to you one sentence he wrote that summarizes his conclusion.

He says, I say unequivocally that the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ is so overwhelming that it compels acceptance by proof, which leaves absolutely no room for doubt. This is a guy that knows evidence. He could take what looks like an airtight case against his client and find all the flaws. He was knighted twice by Queen Elizabeth.
