Why Jesus Died--Sixty-five Reasons Why Jesus Went to the Cross

Before the coming of the Holy Spirit, the death of Jesus was not really understood by His followers. In fact, before the coming of the Holy Spirit to enlighten them, Jesus' followers rejected the idea of His death. To them, suffering and death were understood as failure and rejection by God. However, the resurrection of Jesus, and the coming of the Holy Spirit to explain what God had accomplished through His death, caused them to radically change their evaluation of it.

Through the New Testament writers, God has explained what He accomplished through the death of Jesus. And there is so much more than what most people realize. There are at least sixty-five different things God accomplished at the Cross of Christ. The sacrificial death of our Lord Jesus is an overwhelming treaure chest full of riches both of truth and blessing. There is nothing else like it.

In this book we look at each of these sixty-five reasons, the verses that identify them, with a brief explaination, so you will have an opportunity to better understand them, appriciate them and benefit from what Jesus has done for you.

The book is in paperbake and kindle.

The forgiveness that God has established, not the world's ideas about forgiveness, is God's solution to the problem He calls "sin." Human beings do not have a solution to the problem of sin. Our politcal systems, our political parties, our technology, our medicines, our psychologies, our therapies, our willpower, our science, our econmic systems, our money, our rules, our religions, our determination, and not even AI can solve the problem of sin.

Only God can solve the problem of sin. And He does it through Jesus Christ. God solves the problem of sin through the identity of, the death of, the resurection of and the second coming of Jesus Christ. There is no other solution for the problem of sin.

And God's solution for the problem of sin begins with His forgiveness of the divine penalty for the sin of the world through the death of His Son, Jesus. God's solution then continues when a person believes in and trusts in Jesus as their only way to be saved from the problem of sin. When a person recognizes the problem of sin in them, and sees Jesus as the only solution, then God can continue His work of salvation in them.

Sin is like a disease. It infects every human being. It is lethal and is destroying everyone and everything it touches. Jesus is the only cure. Are you taking the medicine by which God can heal you?

Learn what real forgiveness is, why it is so important for inner healing and loving relationships, and how to practice it.

The Peace that Comes from Thanksgiving

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7

These are among the most well-known verses in the Bible. Christians have been attracted to them because they promise peace, peace in difficult times, the kind of times that cause us to become anxious. But the peace that surpasses all comprehension doesn’t come automatically, or just because we ask for it. It comes when we train our minds to focus on a few significant truths and then act on them.

First, God is good. God always does that which is good and best. Always. Second, God loves you. He has proven that at the Cross of Jesus Christ. God loves you and there is nothing you can do to stop Him from doing so. For these reasons, and more, we can always rejoice in our Lord! And then, “the Lord is near.” He is not ignorant about what you are going through. He knows it and He feels it. He feels for His suffering children as a loving parent would do.

If we know that God is this way, then we can relax and have a gentle spirit. We can pray earnestly, making our requests to our loving heavenly Father, knowing that He hears us and will do what is good and best for all involved. And the key to whether or not we really believe this is if we are praying with thanksgiving to God.

When in distress, everyone prays to God. But only those who believe in His goodness and love will pray with thanksgiving. It is our faith in God’s goodness and love, that compels us to thank Him in every situation, that results in a peace that surpasses the understanding of those watching us.

Trust in God. Believe that He is good and loves you. Believe that He is causing all thing to work together for good in your life, so you can rejoice in who He is and thank Him for everything He is doing!

Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:5-11

All of the religions of the world are born out of human imagination. And none of them can even be compared with what God has done for us through His Son, Jesus Christ. All the religions of the world are about how people can make themselves right with their god or gods. The true God, the Father of Jesus Christ, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, does what is necessary to make people right with Him. And that began with God bring about divine justice against all sins by executing Jesus instead of executing us. Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sins, once for all. He is the propitiation for our sins and not for ours only for also for those of the whole world. John 2:2 He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. John 1:29. God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, not counting our trespasses agains us... 2 Corinthians 5:19.
Jesus paid it all.
All to Him I owe.
Sin had left a crimson stain.
He washed it white as snow.
Rejoice in the goodness of God and His salvation through Jesus' death on the Cross.
