Christ Our Ransom

R.C. Sproul

Jesus declared that He came to give His life “as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). How were His people held captive, and what kind of ransom did Christ pay to set them free? In this message, Dr. R.C. Sproul considers what Jesus taught about the crucifixion to help us better understand the meaning of His sacrifice. On the cross, Christ died to placate the wrath of God against our sin and to deliver us from our guilt.
