What's the Big Deal of Jesus Death?
We
are simple people living in a complicated world and many times we make
simple things complicated. Sadly most religious people have a
difficult time coming down to the level of the ordinary people, so
let's cut through the clutter and the noise and I will try my best for
you to understand as simple as possible.
* Jesus was no ordinary human being. He being fully God became a man. (John 1:1, 14)
* As God-man it is impossible for him to die.
* But he voluntarily sacrificed his body. (John 10:11)
* He died to remove all the sins and to forgive all the sins as only
God can do this, but God cannot die so he became a man. (1 John 1:9)
* Sin is breaking God's law, the result of breaking God's law is
punishment, we break the law of the country we get punished and how
much more if we break God's law? (1 John 3:4-6)
*
Earthly judges gives a limited punishment as we are limited to time but
God is eternal and holy. God is above time and his punishment is
eternal. (Matthew 25:41)
* Bad news is we are all
sinners since the day we born. We are doomed and cursed for God's
punishment. But the good news is Jesus Christ took the terrible severe
punishment for whomever believe in him, if you believe, trust and
surrender you life to him, then you are a true believer and Jesus died
for you and took your punishment on the cross and your sins are
forgiven.(Romans 3:21-31),
* That is the good news.
