Blog of Vivien Wu www.jesuscentral.com/12671   May 21, 2007 Why did Jesus? penalty for sin need to include physical and emotional pain - why not just spiritual separation from God? Jesus` penalty for sin needed to include physical and emotional pain, because all of the evils of mankind are placed on Jesus. Although spiritual separation from God is the heaviest sacrifice which Jesus pays of behalf of mankind, at the same time Jesus offered a sacrifice for the sins of mankind with His body and blood. So Jesus gives his life as a ransom for us. By: Vivien Wu - May 21, 2007 - Public Category: Jesus` Last Words, Final Hours on Cross and Jesus` Death Comment Helpful?

I think that sins of human lead to his death. Because the temple should be cleansing and behavior of leaders should be accused. On the countrary, they should follow Jesus.

I believe that Jesus accomplished to demonstrate God`s love. For God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son, that everyone who believes in him should not die, but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to be its judge, but to be its savior.''John3:16-17'' I believe that Jesus accomplished to bring good news. The Spirit of Lord upon Jesus has sent Him to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed and announce that the time has come when the Lord will save his people. I believe that Jesus accomplished to sacrifice Himself for us. Jesus said, The Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many''Matthew20:28''. I believe that Jesus accomplished to be a source of abundant life. Because Jesus came that we may have life and may have it abundantly. I believe that Jesus accomplished to help people understand the Kingdom of God. Because Jesus was sent for preaching the kingdom of God.

After someone tell us the good news about Jesus, we believe in Him. Jesus would come into our hearts and dine with us. When we are thirsty to learn Jesus` words, we will know His words are living water. Take Jesus` yoke upon us, and learn from Him, as a person being gentle and humble in heart; and we shall find rest for our souls. If we have Jesus` commandments and keep them, we love Him and Father loves us. This is a New commandment because it is accordant with loving one another.
