This poster appeared in my feed just when my friend was complaining that she didn't understand why God, who controls everything, couldn't think of another way to redeem us, rather than crucifying Jesus.
The words, "Biblical worship," made me think. At Jesus time, especially before, worship consisted of sacrificing. Not only did people sacrifice goats, lambs, but even people!!!!! So, Jesus dying as a sacrifice to redeem mankind would not seem so horrific to the people of the times. He is even called Lamb of God.
