Title: The Death of Jesus
Contents
▒▒ Bible : 1 John 4:7~11
In 1 Corinthians 2:2, the apostle Paul decided not to know anything except Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ crucified when I lived among you for 18 months. Says. And in Galatians 6:14, “I tell you the truth, I have nothing to boast of except that Christ was crucified.” I say. The death of Jesus Christ on the cross is a very important event.
Everyone, the important thing is why did Jesus die? is that What does Jesus' death have to do with me? is that We must take this precious fact to heart. This is the foundation of faith. As we celebrate Lent, I hope that it will be a time to realize once again why Jesus died for me.
In 1 John 4:9, “This is how the love of God was manifested.” I say. And “God sent his only begotten Son to this earth, that we might live through him.” These words are speaking of the clear purpose of God sending Jesus Christ to this earth.
There are many stories of sinners in the Bible. For example, sheep who do not follow the shepherd because they do not like the voice of the shepherd and have gone to another place, or sheep that are lost. In Luke 15, the prodigal son who did not want to live in his father's bosom, left his father's bosom and lived freely, is also a sinner. Like the demon-possessed child in Mark 9, those who are possessed by demons and hide the glory of God are sinners. Finally, a sinner is a spiritually dead person. A person who has become insensitive to any reaction and hardened is a sinner. What the dead need is to live. The only way to raise the dead is through Jesus Christ. Through the death of Jesus Christ, believers can live.
Jesus died to give us a new purpose in our lives. Changing your life goals is not easy. Without meeting Jesus, our lives cannot be changed. Jesus came to this earth and died on the cross for us. It is to make our lives new, to go in a new direction different from before.
Finally, Jesus died on the cross so that he might live with us forever. The night before Jesus was crucified, he said, "Don't worry too much that I'm leaving. There are many places for you to dwell in the kingdom of heaven.” You said. God's purpose in creating us is to live forever. But death came because of man's sin, and God and man were separated. Jesus came to bring this together. And he led us to eternal life by dying on the cross.
Gentlemen, God sent Jesus Christ to us so that we may live forever in heaven. Please hold onto this precious truth today. “He was pierced for our transgressions, and he was bruised for our iniquities. By his punishment we have peace; by his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). I bless you in the name of the Lord that you will become members of Hanshin who always live this truth in mind.
