God Is Good www.jesuscentral.com/15398   May 22, 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 included physical and emotional pain was because God was flesh like us so he had to bear the sins for us on the cross by being physically tortured. There wwas no other way. Jesus was more than willing to suffer the emotional and physical pains but being seperated from God while bearing our sins was the heaviest sacrafice he made for us.

God`s Law is how we are supposed to live by, not how the Pharisees were living. By: Chris Church - May 14, 2007 - Public Category: Final Week of Jesus Comment Helpful?
