Jesus paid the ultimate price so that we could live with Him forever in heaven. But why did he have to die? How did Jesus’ death pay for your sins? What do we have to do in order to have eternal life? Join Douglas as he answers these important questions with his very own puppet show!
Sin entered the world when Adam and Eve ate the fruit they were told not to. Everyone sins, and the penalty for sin is death. People used to have to sacrifice animals to atone for their sins, but they would have to make another sacrifice every time they sinned again. Our sin separates us from God; it creates a gap between us and God that we can only cross through Jesus’ sacrifice. Jesus took the penalty for our sin, once and for all, so that if we accept that free gift, we can be with Him forever. We can be in the relationship with God that He wants to be in with us. Jesus died for our sins, but He didn’t stay dead! And that’s a story for another time…
