Discussion summary & scripture references
Jesus’ calling was to die on the cross, go to hell, and be raised up so we could be saved. We often assume that this was easy to do because, after all, Jesus is the son of God. However, this is far from the truth. Jesus walked the earth as a man and had to overcome stress and fear (just like the rest of us) to fulfill his calling. Listen to the replay from our Faith Discussion (from April 12, 2020 at 9 am est) to hear more about this concept.
