1 | Clarity - Jesus being sin and in Heaven | 2 Corinthians | D.D.1961 | 46086 | ||
Back to the question of why Jesus went to Heaven if He took our sins upon himself...I understand the reason for His death and that He took away our sins, but...I still don't understand why He was allowed back in Heaven...was He ever in Hell...if so, how long was he there. I'm not trying to be difficult or debate the issue. I honestly just don't understand. Can anyone give me more clarity on the subject? Thanks! DD | ||||||
2 | Clarity - Jesus being sin and in Heaven | 2 Corinthians | JohnK | 46087 | ||
What it means to "be made sin": "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." (2 Corinthians 5:21) Even though it might be difficult for us to understand, Jesus did NOT become a sinner on the cross, Jesus became sin for us. They are not the same thing. Here is what some Bible commentaries say about 2 Corinthians 5:21 (above): "sin--not a sin offering, which would destroy the antithesis to "righteousness," and would make "sin" be used in different senses in the same sentence: not a sinful person, which would be untrue, and would require in the antithesis "righteous men," not "righteousness"; but "sin," that is, the representative Sin-bearer (vicariously) of the aggregate sin of all men past, present, and future. The sin of the world is one, therefore the singular, not the plural, is used; though its manifestations are manifold (John 1:29). "Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away the SIN of the world." Compare "made a curse for us," Galatians 3:13." (Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Commentary) "He made to be sin (amartian epoihsen). The words "to be" are not in the Greek. "Sin" here is the substantive, not the verb. God "treated as sin" the one "who knew no sin."" Nowhere in the Bible does it say that Jesus sinned. What it does say is that "He became sin". God, in His Judgement, punished sin on the cross. So, when Jesus "became sin", He became that which God was able to punish. Jesus entered into Heaven because God knew He committed no sin, but instead, became sin that He would be able to receive it's punishment. |
