Why did Jesus? penalty for sin need to include physical and emotional pain - why not just spiritual separation from God?
Because Go has such a hatred for sin, that it must be punished. And this was shown on the cross how holy our Holy Father is in that nothing of sin can come near Him. There also had to be blooshed because in Hebrews it says Wtihout the shedding of blood, there is no forgive ness. It also says in Leviticus that The life is in the blood.

I think someone else said it in a nutshell, the wages of sin is death. If He, paying for our sin, just was seperated from God then that might not have satisfied God`s demand for justice. Also, think about how in the OT how God deals with sin. He absolutely cannot stand it, and this shows His hatred for sin that He would be willing to put His son, Jesus Christ, through this so that we may have life. That is the only thing that could make us right with God.

What is the Kingdom of God?
The kingdom is not just where God resides. It is where we should keep our sights. It is where we should keep our focus. One thing I have not been doing recently is to keep a kingdom-centered focus. God just hit me about that. We need to keep our focus on the fact that it is NOT about us, but COMPLETELY about JESUS CHRIST and about THE FATHER. That is something that is SO easy to lose track of; especially when the worries of everyday life come at you ''school, work, family''. We have to keep that kingdom focus.

To be loved by God means to have accepted His son`s sacrifice on the cross. It goes beyond that though. It also means living a Godly life and obeying what Jesus taught us to do. And granted that we do not do that perfectly, we never will as long we are i

Does Jesus believe lowly people are valuable? How valuable?
He has a sense of love that I can only pray to be like one day. I know that right now, I am no where near where I need to be, in regards to loving others. But because of His unquenchable compassion, He calls me to love others as well. I think the best thing that can show how much everyone is cherished is expressed in Psalm 139. It talks about how we are treasured before we are even born. This is truly an encouraging thought, Jesus, the LORD of the universe and with everything He has to do around the globe, wants us to know Him personally. That is so awesome. Praise God.
