What did Jesus sacrifice?

[Mahammad]

Simple question.

 

[Hentenza]

The just for the unjust. Simple answer.

 

[Mahammad]

The just for the unjust. Simple answer.

I didn't understand, Jesus sacrificed the just? What that supposed to mean?

 

[Jakihe]

Jesus' life was sinless, pure, righteous.
He sacrificed his life.

 

[Mahammad]

Jesus' life was sinless, pure, righteous.
He sacrificed his life.

If he's still alive, he didn't really sacrifice it, did he?

 

[YHWHis1]

Jesus Christ sacrificed his Will, and gave it all to God.

This complete submission to the Most High and Merciful God's Will declared him righteous, thus paving the way. God's righteousness lived through him.

He who had been from the beginning, articulated the last of the Enunciation of God through the living expression of his life and of his death in disregard to his own Will. He did not just spoke God's word, he lived it..... He was THE Word of God.

Anyone who submit to God in such a manner will also be declared righteous, and anyone following this path of submission will be declared righteous, because they believe that God is true and righteous and that He will keep His word in righteousness and justice.

 

[YHWHis1]

If he's still alive, he didn't really sacrifice it, did he?

Yes he did!!!!!!!!!!!!
But all thanks to God, in all His mercy, seeing Jesus unworthy of death, He brought him back to life, everlasting life.

This is the core of the Christian faith, not the death of Christ, but his resurrection!

 

[razeontherock]

If he's still alive, he didn't really sacrifice it, did he?

YES! That, my friend, is the power of Love!

"For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption." Psalm 16:10, Acts 2:27, 13:35

 

[lautze]

[Sketcher]

The comforts of Heaven, and being treated the way he deserved to be treated.

A simple cut and paste Answer: Jesus died on the cross to bear sin’s punishment for believers. Many people have doubted Jesus’ death on the cross and resurrection from the grave, despite historical evidence. Muslims question, “Why would Allah require His prophet Isa to die?”

The Scripture explains that Jesus Christ died for our sins: “Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3b-4).

Scripture affirms that the sinless Jesus bled and died on the cross to pay the punishment for believing sinners. Let’s study the Scriptures, the Bible, to find out why Jesus’ death and resurrection provide the only entrance for sinners into paradise.

The punishment for sin is death
The Bible says the holy God created earth and man perfectly. But Adam and Eve fell to the temptation of Satan and disobeyed God. Ever since Adam’s sin, sin has infected the human race. Each person is guilty: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

Sin is not just big things like murder or blasphemy but also includes lying, lusting, and stealing. Even the love of money or hatred of enemies is sin, according to the Bible. Good works cannot make up for wrongs against the holy God. Compared to His holiness, “all our righteous acts are like filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6b).

Having sinned against God, we deserve His punishment. A judge who pardons lawbreakers isn’t a good judge. Likewise, God will not overlook sin. He pours out His righteous wrath against sinners (Romans 2:1-11). Unbelieving sinners pay for their sin by suffering eternal death in hell: “For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23a).

The promise required an innocent death
Although God banished Adam and Eve from the garden and the tree of life, He gave them hope of salvation and paradise. He promised to send the woman’s offspring—Jesus—Who would conquer Satan (Genesis 3:15). Until then, men would sacrifice innocent lambs as a substitute for the punishment they deserved. Sacrificing an animal showed men’s humble acknowledgement that their sin required death and showed their faith in the future offspring and sacrifice from God—Jesus—Who would bear the believer’s penalty once and for all.

The prophets foretold Jesus’ death
From Adam to Jesus, God sent prophets to mankind, warning them of sin’s punishment and foretelling the coming Savior. 700 years before Jesus was born, the prophet Isaiah described Him:

“Who has believed what they heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for sin, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors” (Isaiah 53:1-12).

The prophet compared the coming Savior to a lamb, slaughtered for the sins of others.

Centuries later, Jesus fulfilled Isaiah’s prophecy. Although Jesus is eternally one with God, God the Father sent His Son to earth (John 3:16). Jesus is the promised offspring of the woman (Genesis 3:15), born in human flesh to the virgin Mary. God witnessed that Jesus is His own Son (Matthew 17:5). On seeing Jesus, the prophet John the Baptist cried, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29).

Taking the sin of the world as the sacrificial Lamb of God is why Jesus had to die. He came to take the punishment for sin—death.

Jesus prophesied His own death many times: “And taking the twelve, he said to them, ‘See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished. For he will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and shamefully treated and spit upon. And after flogging him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise’" (Luke 18:31-33).

God sacrificed Jesus for sin
During the life of Jesus, crowds thronged around Him for healing and teaching, but the religious leaders scorned Him. They arrested Him and charged Him with blasphemy for affirming to be the Son of God (Luke 22:70). Mobs cried out, “Crucify Him!” Soldiers beat, mocked, and crucified Him.

On the cross, Jesus bore the punishment of sin. At His death, He cried out, “It is finished” (John 19:30b). Jesus finished paying the punishment for sin, as the perfect Lamb of God.

As Isaiah prophesied, Jesus was crucified in between two criminals and was buried in a rich man’s tomb. But Jesus didn’t remain in the grave. As He prophesied, Jesus rose from the dead, proving His victory over sin and death.

Why did Jesus have to die?
Jesus died for believing sinners. We cannot reach paradise on our own merit. Remember, the holy God will not let sin go unpunished. If we bore our own sins, we would suffer judgment in the flames of hell. But God sacrificed Jesus as the believer’s perfect Substitute.

The Scripture says, “For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified [made righteous/good] by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation [restored relationship].

“Therefore, just as through one man [Adam] sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned. . . . So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men. For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 5:6-12; 18-21).

Jesus died to provide the only way to eternal life. If God is showing your sin and need of Jesus, repent, turning from your sin and own way of trying to please God. You cannot fix yourself. Believing the Bible’s truth about Who Jesus is and what He did, trust in Jesus as Savior from sin and follow Him as the Lord of your life. He will lead and strengthen you through His Word, the Bible.
Why did Isa/Jesus have to die?

 

[berachah]

Jesus' entire life was a living sacrifice.

We have all been tempted by the devil and have fallen short. Not one of us is righteous. Jesus Christ was a man of sorrows acquainted with grief, he was despised and rejected, he was wounded for our transgressions; all our iniquities were laid upon him......he was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not give into the flesh. He did not deny his calling of dying for mankind.

When our sin was cast upon him (on the cross) causing the complete separation from the Father, he refused to succumb, choosing rather to pay the ultimate price.

Man's natural instinct it preserve his own life, to overcome evil with evil. That is the route of all men including Muhammed. Yet Jesus gave his life for us and overcame evil with love.

Try that next time someone does evil against you, and perhaps you may understand just a small part of his sacrifice.

Dear Mahammad. We all, Mankind, had moved too far away from God, and there was no-one without sin or transgression to pay the debt we owed to God`s Holy Law,and without Jesus`s (God-Son) guiltless/sinless Blood, we all would have been lost. Jesus died that we might live, Jesus became our Saviour and reconciled us to God. Now we have to Repent, exchange our selfish and unloving characters for: Loving God with all our hearts, with all our souls, and with all our minds. ALSO: love our neighbour as we love ourselves. Jesus told us: on these Commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets. Love is what God wants from us, selfless and unconditional. If Jesus had not died for all of us, we all would have been LOST. And it was God`s wonderful and loving Plan to pay the prize we owed, as " son of man," born of Mary, the worthy vessel to bring forth Jesus. Jesus lived 33 years amongst us, where he showed us God, as God really is. Our loving Heavenly Father. Jesus suffered as we suffer, Jesus was as we are, but without sin. And now Jesus is our Intercessor, who pleads our prayers to God-Father, who made us in His image. I say this humbly and with love, Mahammad. Greetings from Emmy, sister in Christ.

[hamashiachagape]

Simple question.

Well in order for man to be saved from their sins once and for all, a kosher sin sacrifice had to be offered. You have to understand this as a fulfillment of Messianic prophecy. And that kosher sacrifice was Yeshua. This eliminated both the death penalty for sin (i.e. stoning) and a need to sacrifice kosher animals when we sinned in order to be forgiven.

Why did Isa/Jesus have to die?

I don't think this person understands Jewish culture too well. But he definitely has at least the right gist of things.

 

[Key]

Simple question.

Jesus suffered the stupidity of man for the sake of humanity.

 

[Alphabet1]

Simple question.

His life.

Being the Son of God He could do anything, but give his friends life without Himself dying.

He had a life. A good one.

A lot of sorrow, but a lot of joy.

So he had to give up his life so his friends could become like he is, with an eternal body. In doing so, he also did away with the Law, proving by his resurrection He is the Lawgiver.

A lawgiver is above the laws they give.

They set exceptions and understand it. They decide matters and have authority to judge.
