"Brief summary of Jesus"

When Jesus came to us he learned about corruption in the church as well as elsewhere. His divine love for humanity wouldn't let it go without notice so he became a strong voice against it. As people heard him speak they heard about a loving God that would forgive you if you repented from your sins. The conflict that Jesus entered into by challenging the church cost him his life. He was publicly hung up on a cross (probably as an example to others) until he died. The combination of the events that followed along with events in his life to date were so compelling that his name quickly spread as the messiah and his followers could not be stopped. Some of his devoted follower would rather die than renounce him as their God.

Amen

BeHold The Lamb of God

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, while many preceive Him a good man and great teacher, He is more than that.  He is the Savior of the World and the propitation for us, being the object of God's full wrath, the Innocent One, the Beautiful One, who gave up all He has in Heaven to come down to earth so that we may not only have our sins forgiven but to know the Father and the Kindgdom of Heaven.

He calls us to repentance and then has the count the cost of taking up that cross daily in following Him and becoming like Him. 

This world will pass away, all things will come to an end, for this world and our lives were created for the purpose of God and His glory.

Jesus revealed the secrets of enternal life and the importance of seeing and knowing cleary whom we should serve.

Why did Jesus´ penalty for "sin" need to include physical and emotional pain - why not just spiritual separation from God?

Jesus' death on the cross has been called a "substitutionary" death, in other words a death in the place of us.  Our own sin has separated us from God and it is us that really deserve to die.  For Jesus' death to truly be a substitute for a death that we deserve, Jesus had to die a fully human death, in body, soul and spirit.  This involved physical and emotional pain just as well as spiritual separation.  That fact that Jesus faced this without sin qualified him to be the once for all sacrifice for sin that sets us free from sin!  What amazing love, that God would not spare his own Son but deliver Him up for us all!

Why did Jesus penalty for "sin" need to include physical and emotional pain - why not just spiritual separation from God?

According to Mosaic law, blood sacrifices attoned for people's sins.  Even though blood in and of itself did not have the power to atone for sin, God appointed it to have such power because it is vital to sustain life (animal or human).  Leviticus 17:11 says, ". . . it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul".  The Jewish blood sacrifices could only purify the flesh and were temporary.  Hebrews 9:13-14 says, "For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"  And Hebrews 9:25-28 says ". . . Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many."

So my conclusion is that Jesus' shed blood was necessary for the ultimate and final atonement for man's sin and to cleanse the soul not the flesh.  Praise you Jesus!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Why did Jesus´ penalty for "sin" need to include physical and emotional pain - why not just spiritual separation from God?
Jesus` sacrifice involved his total being. It involved his thoughts, emotions, body and spirit. These aspects of a person`s life cannot be neatly separated. Instead, they are all connected and part of what make us human. When Jesus becomes a man, he takes on human flesh and some of the limits that come with a body. Only upon death may a person`s spirit, emotions and intellect be freed from the physical body one has in this life-- and the Bible teaches that God gives new bodies in heaven. So Jesus suffers in body and in emotions, because this is part of who he is. He cannot simply offer up his life without injury or pain. Also, Jesus` sacrifice is consistent with the idea of sacrifice from the Jewish tabernacle and Temple. In order for sins to be forgiven, a person must offer a sacrifice-- usually an animal of some kind, and the priest would slay the creature. The animal`s blood was shed and it suffered and died. The animal`s life was given as a substitute for the person`s life so the penalty of sin would not be borne by the person seeking forgiveness by God. In a similar way, Jesus gives his life unto death as a substitute for my life and for your life. Ou sins are counted against Him rather than against us. His shed blood pays the price of mankind`s sin. God grants forgiveness to anyone who asks, because the debt of sin has been paid by Jesus for our sake.

He suffered in His humanity all we suffer, yet was sinless in all things that He would become the Great High Priest who passes through the heaven and is seated at the right hand of God and therefore in this physical and emotion pain He would have compassion in light of human failings.  This opens the door continually for us to go boldly before His throne and obtain the grace and mercy while we still may until the coming of the Great Day of the Lord.

"Was Jesus trying to incite his death(eg. temple cleansing,accusation of leaders?)
Jesus was true to his word. His beliefs were incredible but true, and he would not back away from them even under the threat of torture and death. His message was of peace, even at the time of his own torture and death he asks his Father to "forgive them for they know not what they do". He had no other means to convince people of his mission and his sincerity so he stuck to his mission to the end. His example was enough to give people a reason to pause and evaluate what had just happened and why. The result was to change people who were willing to look at the spirit as noble part of them and to aspire to live according to Jesus's teachings.

"Was Jesus trying to incite his death (eg. temple cleansing, accusation of leaders?)

Jesus was on the mission he intended to fulfill. Was he trying to get himself killed? Not in any casual or offhanded sense, no. But, ultimately, he knew his death was part of his life and mission; therefore, in some capacity he knowingly walked into the events that would lead to the cross.

Through teaching and truthful disclosure about loving and knowing God, by working miracles, and by confronting the leadership of the day, he was led to his death and he did not resist it. I don't think he needed to intentionally "incite" his death, for he knew that human nature would simply lead others to put him to death if he just stuck to his message and mission.

He came to accomplish much, and certainly part of that mission was to give his life as a substitutionary payment for mankind's wrongdoing. By doing so, he makes the way for all people to be welcomed into the kingdom of God-- now and in the life hereafter.That might be an odd thought today. Rarely do we see anyone willing to go to jail in place of the criminal-- though we may see parents pay the fines of wrongdoing for their kids! In Jesus, the debt and penalty for any wrongdoing is paid for us by God, our Father. God is free to forgive and we are free to receive forgiveness. It's the ultimate transaction of priceless worth.

Jesus knew His purpose on this earth was to ultimately die for our sin. But, He also knew the work He had to do while alive would keep Him busy right up the last minute. He neither postponed or hastened His death by anything He did. There were times He avoided going to Jerusalem to prevent the leaders from killing Him before His time, but there were other times He slipped away unharmed when the leaders tried to stone Him or throw Him over a cliff. Every move Jesus made was in perfect submission to the preset plan of the Father who ordained it all before time began. His life and death line up perfectly with prophecies found in scripture. I believe Jesus could not have hastened His death if He wanted to.
