Introduction of the speaker, Bishop Stephen Neill (3:08-5:5:50). Dr. Neill introduces his topic in Matthew 26 and the story of the garden of Gethsemane, and he reads a portion of the passage (6:05-8:11). He emphasizes the significance of the cross of Christ and states that Jesus died because of what God is, because of what we are, because of what He was, and for the sake of what we shall be (8:11-10:55). He states that Jesus died because God is with his people (10:55-14:01). Jesus died because we are sinful people (14:01-17:16). Jesus also died because his goodness was a threat to the sinful desires of men (17:16-20:07). Jesus also died because with Him we will be able to become something beautiful (20:07-26:05). Dr. Neill closes in prayer (26:05-26:42).
