Why Would God Punish Jesus for My Sins?

You're in a conversation and someone says, "Why would God punish Jesus for what I did? It’s barbaric and abusive for God to require a blood sacrifice from his own son for sins Jesus didn’t even commit. It sounds like ‘cosmic child abuse’.”

What would you say?

The next time someone says, “The sacrifice of Jesus on the cross sounds like ‘cosmic child abuse’,” here are three things to remember:

Number 1: Jesus was not a mere human.
Number 2: Jesus went to the cross voluntarily.
Number 3: The sacrifice of Jesus is not an act of abuse, but a gift of God.
