If Jesus is so great...?

Question

...why is he dead?

Answer 1

Correction: Why did he die? For us. And now He lives. And yes, He is GREAT! :) Peace

Answer 2

...I feel sure that you would not make such a statement unless you have done massive research into the all the evidence for Christ's resurrection. And you say that He is dead? Well he has many followers who have said and say He is alive - how do you explain this? Are they all liars?
...Is Jesus a liar, a lunatic, or the Lord? What do you say? You must decide, and He leaves you no room to wiggle. Your answer is no small thing - if you do not believe on Him as Savior and Lord, Hell will be your eternal destination.
...Where is His body? Can you locate it for me? I understand they can locate Mohammed's, but not the body of Jesus of Nazareth. Why?
...The Bible tells us - He is risen, just as He said.
...I urge all readers to "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and be saved". (Acts 16:31)
************************************************************
ONE SOLITARY LIFE
...He was born in an obscure village. He worked in a carpenter shop until he was about thirty. He then became an itinerant preacher. He never held an office. He never had a family or owned a house. He didn't go to college. He had no credentials but Himself.
...After preaching three years, the public turned against Him. His friends ran away. He was turned over to His enemies and went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a cross between two thieves. While He was dying, His executioners gambled for His clothing, the only property He had on earth. He was laid in a borrowed grave.
...Nineteen centuries have come and gone, and today He is the central figure of the human race. All the armies that ever marched, all the navies that ever sailed, all the parliaments that ever sat, and all the kings that ever reigned have not affected the life of man on the earth as much as that ONE SOLITARY LIFE.

Answer 3

He's not. You have to read the rest of the story. After He died He arose 3 days later.

Matthew 28
The Resurrection
1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

5The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."


1 Peter 1:3 (New International Version)
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead"

Answer 4

"Why did he die" would be a more accurate question because Jesus is alive... He rose from the dead! And the reason He died is that He was the Lamb of God to be sacrificed to pay for all the sin of the world which if He had not done we would have no hope of eternity.

Sooooo.... If you are so smart, why didn't you know that?

Answer 5

If you knew what you were talking about, you would know that Jesus died, by choice, so that we could live with him in eternal bliss, & that on the 3rd day after his death, Jesus arose from the dead! Thus, proving He is the true Messiah.

Answer 6

Answer 7

HE IS NOT DEAD HE LIVES IN A BELIEVER EVERYDAY. GOD SENT HIS SON JESUS TO EARTH TO DIE AND PAY FOR THE SINS OF THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM. ALL THAT HAPPEN TO JESUS WAS GODS' PLAN. AS A BELIEVER YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY HIS BLOOD. IF YOU WOULD JUST LOOK AROUND EVERYDAY AND STOP TO SMELL THE ROSES, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT JESUS IS NOT DEAD. DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK A HUMAN COULD HAVE MADE ALL OF THIS WONDERFUL EARTH WE LIVE ON? GOD BLESS
