Who is Jesus and why did they kill him?
Friday was the day of pain
Emotional pain
Relational pain
Physical pain
He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Psalm 73:16-17 When I tried to understand all this, it troubled me deeply…till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood...
Romans 4:25 He was handed over to die [on the cross] because of our sins, [That’s you, that’s me. That’s us.]and he was raised to life to make us right with God. Jesus died for your sins so you wouldn’t have to. Paid with his life so we could be forgiven of guilt and shame. All our sins, past, present and future... Isaiah 53:6–10 All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. rebelling, going our own way. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the LORD laid on him the sins of us all.
“I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, shall live...because I live, you will live...
Romans 8:11, “It stands to reason, doesn’t it, that if the alive-and-present God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life, he’ll do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus, bringing you alive to himself? When God lives and breathes in you (and he does, as surely as he did in Jesus), you are delivered from that dead life. With his Spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ’s!”
Ephesians 3:19-20 “I pray that you will begin to understand how incredibly great his power is to help those who believehim. It is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead…”
