Why did Jesus Die?

1 Peter 2:24 "He himself bore our sins" in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; "by his wounds, you have been healed." Look at this familiar verse again

• He l bore, what did he bear? Our sins
• Where did he bear them? In his body
• Where? On the cross
• Why did he bear our sins? 
• So that we might die to sins
• So that we might live for righteousness

That the creator should die that he should bear our sin that he hung on a cross is all amazing grace. It also brings to mind questions like, “How does one bear sins?” Peter used his understanding of Isaiah 53 which states, Isaiah 53:4 Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds, we are healed. 6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way, and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.

By his undeserved punishment, we have been healed from our sin sickness.
