What happened on the Cross?

Episode Summary: Was the death of Jesus merely a historical tragedy or a moral example? In this episode, we tackle the "neighbor" question: "What actually happened to Jesus on the cross, and why does it matter for us today?" We explore the difference between viewing the crucifixion as a mere "good example" versus the life-altering reality of substitutionary atonement.
