Subject: A Thought-provoking question |
Bible Note: Hi taraleigh, Possibly you misspoke when you stated, "The only sin He ever committed was on the cross,?" Christ was clearly without sin as Heb. 4:15 tells us: "For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin." I realize that 2 Cor. 5:21 says that, "He Who knew no sin, became sin for us". However that does not mean nor imply He (Christ) sinned! Quite the contrary. As Marvin Vincent notes: "Made to be sin (Gr. hamartian epoiesen). Compare a curse, Gal. 3:13. Not a sin-offering, nor a sinner, but the representative of sin. On Him, representatively, fell the collective consequence of sin, in His enduring “the contradiction of sinners against Himself” (Heb. 12:3), in His agony in the garden, and in His death on the cross."
