May 13, 2007 Why did Jesus? penalty for sin need to include physical and emotional pain - why not just spiritual separation from God?Let us take the words of Jesus, where we can find the answer to this. ''1'' Without Bloodshed there is no forgiveness of Sin. - He had to spill his Holy Blood on this cursed land and all the people so that they may be cleansed from their sins. ''2'' You believe because you see. Those who believe that they do not see are blessed. - People will believe Him that He is God only and only if He does what he did. People saw his sufferings and wept and mourned and confessed and witnessed because He endured physical pain. Penalty for sin needs all this. |

May 13, 2007 Was Jesus trying to incite his death (eg. temple cleansing, accusation of leaders?)For the past 3 years in His ministry, Jesus had by many means ''stories, parables, miracles, speeches'' tried to give the people the god message of the Love God. But people were afraid to accept Him and follow Him due to fear of the leaders. So Jesus openly accused the leaders in front of the people, so that people will believe He is above all the leaders ''some even wondered, but failed to believe in Him, as we sometimes do''. So Jesus was trying His very best to do his mission. |
