Why Did Jesus Announce His Own Death?

Why would Jesus repeatedly speak about His death before it happened? What made His crucifixion different from any other? In this powerful resurrection season message, Pastor Roderick Webster dives into the need, nature, and impact of Christ’s death—and why it changes everything.

From the announcement of His death, to its necessity due to God's holiness and man’s sin, to its ultimate victory over Satan and the grave—this devotion reminds us that the Cross was no accident. It was part of God's plan to restore the relationship broken in the Garden of Eden.

🕊️ Watch to be reminded of:
Why Christ’s death was essential for salvation
How it satisfied God’s demand for holiness
What it means for sinners, saints, Satan, and the Savior
How even Jesus' closest followers forgot His promise—but His enemies remembered
