The story of Christ's death and resurrection "in accordance with the Scriptures" forms the gospel, the good news of Jesus the Messiah.

In light of the New Testament's emphasis on Jesus's death by crucifixion, the question we must ask is, "Why the cross of Christ?"

To confess that the cross primarily reveals our value to God is a false doctrine that undermines the good news of God's glorious grace.

In our Lord's Passion we see the greatest example of irony in Scripture as God overturns and makes foolish the world's wisdom.

In an ironic twist, the words of the Pharisees were actually true— it was precisely because Jesus came to save others that he could not save himself.

Christ’s descent to the dead is not only a biblically supported and historically confessed doctrine of the Christian church, but it is gloriously good news.
