Subject: Crusifixtion a sacrafice? John 3:16 |
Bible Note: I will have to disagree with men that have been tortured in a much greater degree statement. Mark 15:34, shows a torture that none of us can understand. Even knowing death was a temporal matter for Christ, doesn't make the sacrifice any less significant to go through. The example that comes to mind is mother fiving birth to her child. The pain is tremendous, thankfully modern medicine has made this task easier on woman, yet none the less still struggle, even though they know it will only last for a short period of time. The length of time in the grave seems insignificant even though He knew that it was only for x days, months, or years (just like a mother giving birth will know it will only last x amount time). The sacrifice was the taking of His perfect state and making it imperfect by bearing the sins of those that couldn't. Yes, you were right I do get irritated and I forget at times, that Jesus doesn't need my help to defend Himself (Mat 26:53). Thank you for taking my comments in stride. Brad |
