Why is this man so different from all the billions of men who have ever lived? Why is his name used in the praise and cursing that falls from the lips of men?
It stated he was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died a martyr’s death!
Why? Because of his ideals? Because he wanted to change the establishment? Because he wanted to establish a new religion?
No! These are not the reasons. They don’t satisfy answers to the further questions they stir up. His birth, life and death were not accidents, not mere chances of fate.
THE SCRIPTURE DECLARES:
Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
God sent forth his Son for a reason:
The reason! To die for our sin. Look what concerning his death,
John 10:17-18Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Yes, Christ died for the Sin of the world.
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Galatians 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Thot: God is satisfied with the cross as settling the sin problem… and the world should be satisfied with that which satisfies God!
