Lessons on segregation
It is amazing that the society existed in was strongly divided in classes ready to even kill as the case was in Jesus` killing. There was a strong division of the Jews and `others`. I think this was and still is sad since we still see it in the world today. However, the beauty is the lessons Jesus gave us with the way he embraced members of his society regardless of their social, racial or historical standing. God loves all and therefore even we all ought to love and appreciate one another and see God`s love in each one of us.

Why did Jesus? penalty for sin need to include physical and emotional pain - why not just spiritual separation from God?
Jesus live in Heaven as a spirit with God, but He came this world as inform of a man for us to know that; there is nothing in impossible, sometime we feel that there are things taht are impossible, but Jesus told us that nothing is imossible to them that believed. However, Jesus, since he came inform of a man, he eat with us, showed us everythings that we think that are impossible for man. taht we too can pass through any kind of triars and yet overcomer those triars. except a seed died it cannot bringforth a new one all that Jesus did is showed us example that we should follow i.e we too must suffer many things as long as you believe on Him.

I guess God wanted to show how much he loves us by putting his son through pyhsical and emtional pain to take away our sins.It was a truly great way of proving that love. Also it does have a more lasting impact on the minds of people instead of just spiritual separation from God.

For God had made Him to be sin, for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God.Humanity sin against God, and God sent His son to come and take our place, so what ever punishment we were supposed to carried were laid on Him, that is emotional and physical pain were put on Him..God did that to indicate His unconditional love for humanity.

There will never be spiritual seperation from God and Jesus..they are as one. Just like God said in order to get through me you have to come through my son Jesus. There is no speration there.That`s why Jesus had to be inflicked with emotional and phyical pain to show just how much we are loved.

I think there are a number of reasons that physical and emotional pain are involved. Firstly, sin is serious. It is not just a stray pencil mark, easily erased. It is an affront against a holy God, a disgrace to the purity He intended for us, as glaring and shameful as splattering excrement on a snow white wedding dress. I think it may very well pain the Lord`s heart to see our sin and what it reaps in our lives, for sin so often leads to painful consequences for us as well. The Old Testament shows us the seriousness of sin in the whole system of animal sacrifice. It was said that without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. It was all a foreshadowing of what Jesus would do for us on the cross, sacrificing Himself as the Lamb of God. In addition, pain teaches us. All of us would seek to avoid pain in our lives. Jesus could have, but didn`t. Our own limited experience with pain in our lives helps us appreciate the unfathomable pain Jesus endured for our sake, and so helps us realize the depths of His love for us. Secondly, Jesus, being fully God and fully man, was actually without sin. The taking on of our guilt, shame, the heinous sins of mankind--murder, lying, the darkest deeds we shudder to imagine--to feel the horror and weight of it would have caused excruciating emotional pain, which I`m sure manifested itself in physical pain as well. The bible says he who knew no sin became sin for our sake.. --it must have been horrifying. In addition, he had to endure the emotional pain of being rejected by those He had come to save. Thirdly, the physical pain was inflicted by men. They may have viewed it as a penalty for whatever law they pretended had been broken, but they did not realize Jesus was really paying the price for the things we and they did wrong. I think that the time of the crucifixion was a time when the devil thought he had won, and would have gloried in inciting men to inflict pain and torture upon Jesus. As such, I don`t know that pain has any particular saving power, but it was something Jesus endured for our sake. And, oh the triumph that Jesus won for us as he defeated the evil one forever! May we be truly grateful.

As it was in practice before the birth of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament. Whenever the Jews go away from God, evil things usually comes over to them, and to appease God then, they have to sacrifice a ram or burn offering so that their sins could be forgiven. It was also said that without shedding of blood, their will be no remittance for sin. This singular aspect is what Jesus Christ came to fulfill when He said it is finished. Therefore, it has become abomination to God for anybody called christian to made any sacrifice to God through killing of ram or in any form because the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON - JESUS has bore this on the cross for all HIS followers. What it is remain is to believe in Him and propagate Him to unbelievers.

Was Jesus trying to incite his death (eg. temple cleansing, accusation of leaders?)
Jesus, know what he had to do and did it. He know there was a time for his death and knew his ressuractuion was going to be three days after his death. He had no fear of anything that was sad or done to him it was all recorded in his mind.... that`s why he walked as a pure man without sin. God had his back just like he wants to have ours..only if we open our hearts, minds and souls to let him in so we can really see just how wonderful our father turely is. Father I`m right there with you! Thank you for loving me and giving me another chance to get it right!!!

When man was created in the Garden of Eden, there was no provision for pain through sickness or emotional. But with the fall of man came sin. Sin came with both physical and emotional pain and suffering. Since sin came via one man Adam and via one man Jesus paid the penalty. Iron shapenth iron and for our Lord Jesus to deliver us from all the curse of pain, He had to experience the same hence the need for physical and emotional pain. isaiah 53:4-5 sums the whole issue and our deliveracy.
