some green miss me. One of the great things about St. Thomas Aquinas is he leaves no question unanswered.

Even theological questions that seem basic or obvious he still wants to

address because he can always bring out new spiritual meaning. And today we're

looking at the death of Christ and all of this can be found in the Sumetelogier, the third part,

question 50, and he begins with a question which may seem surprising and he says whether it was fitting

that Christ should die. Whether he should die at all. You know, maybe God could have saved us in a different way.

Was it fitting that the son of God himself will become man and die in a cross

for our salvation? And he answers with this, he says, it is written in John, Chapter 11,

verse 50. It is expedient that one man should die for the people,

that the whole nation perish not.

into sin. We're speaking here of Adam. But if you think about it, Adam let all of us into original sin and all of us have committed sins,

and this creates a giant burden of sin, the weight of all the sins of the world.
