Did Jesus Die on a Cross or Stake? (Sharing the Gospel With Jehovah's Witnesses)

Christians believe that Jesus died on a cross and that his death guarantees eternal life to all his followers. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus died on a stake and that his death only gives us the opportunity to have eternal life. This leads them naturally to a works-based salvation, as opposed to a grace-based salvation. Which one is right? Who has the true Gospel? In this video, we'll look at historical, contextual, and linguistic evidence for the cross of Christ and more importantly, seek to understand how a correct theology of the cross can change our lives both now and forever.
