Subject: Crusifixtion a sacrafice? John 3:16 |
Bible Note: G Preston Me spinning? I don't think so. The only thing I spin is a dreidle in hopes that it lands on gimmel!! :o) Return to the beginnings in Leviticus and study about the sacrifices (as they were a foreshadow of that which was to come) and you'll see that the sins of the worshipper were symbolically transferred to the animal by the laying on of hands. (Now we understand that at this point the whole thing had to be symbolism as man had no way to literally transfer his sins to anyone or anything.) But now God is here in the flesh, the Sacrifice can now be done as it was symbolized and be done once for all. For the sacrifice the Lord made for us to be viable He had to take on the sins of the world (and I don't think He had them all neatly bundled up in a grocery bag on the ground). No symbolism here, He took our sins into death with Him, broke the power of sin and rose triumphant. |
