The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ :: Essays about Jesus Christ

For beau ideal so loved the world, that he gave his only bring forth Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. This verse - John 316 - is perhaps the most important in the Bible. Jesus the Nazarene was the son of God, but he was also the son of creation. Jesus had a human mother, Mary (see Luke 130-31 for example), but his father was God (see John 318 for example). Jesus was human, not God. Consider 1 Timothy 25For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man saviour Jesus There could not be a clearer statement that Christ was a man. Because Christ was human he experienced all the trials and temptations that we experience. Christ, barely was strong enough to resist all temptation and lived a life without sinning - that is without disobeying God.Jesus Christ was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. (Hebrews 415). Christ was obedient unto expiry, even the demolition of the cross.. (Philippians 28) Sin , when it is finished, bringeth forth death. (James 115), or as Paul puts it in Romans 623 the wages of sin is death. Christ never sinned, and therefore did not earn the wages of sin. Therefore God raised him from the dead having loosed the pains of death because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. (Acts 224). The full story of Christs death and resurrection can be found in Matthew 27 & 28, Mark 15 & 16, Luke 23 & 24, and John 18 - 21. After his resurrection Christ spent some time with his disciples. Then he ascended into heaven. He will one day return from heaven to rule on earth as King. The CrucifixionJesus Christ lived a sinless life even up to his death by crucifixion. Far from being a way of appeasing a wrathful God for the sins of Mankind the Crucifixion is really an example of Gods love toward us. Consider Romans 58 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.. At first this seems slightly strange how was God s love manifested towards us through the Crucifixion? Through his death Christ gained forgiveness of sins for all who follow him (see baptism). Titus 313,14 says our Saviour Jesus Christ Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity.
