There are certain laws that extend across almost all cultures and form a pattern.
In the movie “The Last Emperor”, a very young child is anointed as the Last Emperor of China. He lives a magical life of power and luxury with a thousand eunuch servants at his command.
One day his brother asks, “What happens when you do wrong?” “When I do wrong, someone else is punished,” the young emperor replies. To demonstrate, he breaks a glass jar, and one of the servants is immediately beaten.
In Christian theology, Jesus reversed this ancient pattern: The death of Jesus made it so that when the servants erred … the King was punished. No one ever expected God to die, but it was all part of his divine plan.
