WHY DID JESUS HAVE TO DIE?
WHY WAS IT JESUS, NOT JUST A POWERFUL ANGEL?
WHY IS IT ONLY THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST THAT CAN CLEANSE SINS?
Really Why…….
Many Christians have been confronted by un-believers, despite their knowledge of the WORD, they find it hard to prove why DEATH was what JESUS CHRIST had to accept….. and nothing else.
I will list some reasons why JESUS CHRIST had to die…
I trust the HOLY SPIRIT to grant you an understanding that will establish the TRUTH…
WHY IT WAS JESUS CHRIST THAT HAD TO DIE
John 3:16– For GOD so LOVED the world, that HE GAVE HIS only begotten SON, that the world through HIM might be saved
This verse establishes that, there was a time when the world was lost, that happened in the fall at Eden…
Now, Two things happened, GOD lost HIS Relationship with us, and we also lost ours with HIM. We were far more disadvantaged, because GOD still retained all HIS Glory after our fall.
But, something changed the whole story, HIS AGAPE LOVE.
To regain that lost relationship… One of the two parties had to Lose something to gain that relationship back….
In our value system, there was nothing man could so rather than keep DIEING to fulfil the greediness of sin through DEATH…
Therefore, something precious was needed to regain it back, GOD therefore couldn’t release a mere angel, no matter how powerful they were, because we are even more precious than angels… HE had to release HIS ONLY SON….
WHY HIS DEATH WAS THE ONLY RESORT THAT COULD RESTORE OUR RELATIONSHIP
Genesis 3:3- But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, GOD hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, LEST YE DIE….
This tells us that DEATH was our punishment for that sin, and GOD’S WORD wouldn’t go without fulfilling it’s purpose…
So, JESUS CHRIST came to the world to become US, so if GOD’S WORD had established death, HE had no choice than to do A SUBSTITUTION that will last forever.
See, HIS AGAPE LOVE was never available to the angels that were doomed (2Peter 2:4)
Death was passed to all men, by sin, so… For life to be passed the same, one man had to die, when Adam sinned, we fell, so one who had eternal life had to die, the limit of his years, is the duration of our redemption… Hence, the eternal life in HIM, established our eternal reconciliation to HIM (Romans 5:12)
WE WERE RECONCILED BY HIS DEATH, BUT WE WERE SAVED BY HIS LIFE.
Also….
John 15:13- Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends…
Now, GOD’S LOVE is PERFECT, so whatever way it manifests has to be the highest level it can ever manifest… SO, GOD couldn’t ever settle for anything less, HE WANTED SOMETHING THAT WILL LAST FOREVER…
WHY IS IT ONLY THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST THAT CAN CLEANSE SINS?
We human beings, were doomed for eternal death….
We were already under condemnation to death….
1 Corinthians 15:55- O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56- The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law
57- But thanks be to GOD, which giveth us the victory through our LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Death’s access to us was sin, and the law strengthened it, the law couldn’t stop us from sinning, only the spirit of LIFE that Ministers to us through THE WORD, no wonder it was called THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE in Romans 8:2
The product of the exchange was the access point to our redemption, that is why, our sins that held us under death couldn’t be washed by the name of JESUS CHRIST, because the name only existed after he resurrected, it couldn’t be washed by the supremacy of GOD, but only by HIS BLOOD that was shed at the site of that exchange..
FINALLY…
WHY DID WE NOT KNOW WHY HE HAD TO DIE before we killed him…till this TIME
HEROD didn’t even find JESUS guilty on trial, but the devil had been looking for a way to get back at GOD, if the devil knew HE was sealing our redemption….He wouldn’t have manipulated the Religious leaders to nail HIM to death…..
1 Corinthians 2:8- Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the LORD OF GLORY.
GOD made the reason of HIS DEATH, a mystery so that we couldn’t understand it, not even principalities
1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the……..
vs 10- But GOD hath revealed them unto us by (HIS SPIRIT)
That was how the mystery of HIS DEATH WAS UN-RAVELLED….
No wonder the HOLY SPIRIT couldn’t come into us, till he DIED
Romans 5:10- For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to GOD by the death of HIS SON, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by HIS LIFE….
WE WERE RECONCILED BY HIS DEATH, BUT WE WERE SAVED BY HIS LIFE…
GLORY TO GOD!!
END TIMES
