Question about Jesus of Nazareth, & his so-called "sacrifice".?

Question

Why is Jesus of Nazareth, and his sacrifice for your sins, considered the ultimate gift? Was this not much of a sacrifice on the part of "God" or Jesus of Nazareth? Given that they have always existed, Jesus of Nazareth’ sojourn on earth of thirty-some years amounts to a brief flicker of time.

Consider then, that Jesus of Nazarth had to come among us mere mortals and ultimately suffered the pain of death upon the cross. How great was that sacrifice for Jesus of Nazareth, knowing that he would shortly be sitting once more at the right hand of his father "God"?

Answer 1

It wasn't just his death that was the sacrifice, it was his entire life from birth to his tragic death on the cross.

He lived 33 years and never sinned once. He was blameless and they still murdered him in the most shameful and painful way someone can die.

I think that constitutes the title sacrifice quite nicely.

Answer 2

The term Jesus freak, was coined by the hippies, in the 1960's, not for religious reasons, but because Jesus was one of a group of many young men, protesting against the Jewish establishment. He didn't get to be the "offical" messiah until some 300 years after his death. Given these facts (and they ARE facts) his death was precipitated by his inability to know when to keep his mouth shut!

Answer 3

The thoughts relating to the alleged Jesus of Nazareth have been written interior the mid to previous due 2nd century, and the writers did not comprehend that the Jewish village of Nazareth had not existed interior the early first century. because of the fact the biblical character Jesus is only a fictional composite of different persons he became hence in no way born everywhere. Older Jesus thoughts stated him as Yeshua Notzri, yet lots of human beings did not comprehend what Notzri became meant to intend. some guessed that it meant Nazarene, and others guessed it meant he got here from Nazareth. the story approximately his being born in Bethlehem became a tale that became extra later to tutor him into being a Jew who became supposedly descended from King David.

Answer 4

Let me ask you this: would you be willing to die for me or anyone else? I know I wouldn't die for you. That is why is the ultimate sacrifice. Jesus loved us that much that he died for us, read Romans or better yet, the entire Bible and you will see what He did for you. Yes, Jesus knew He would raise from the dead and go back to Heaven His home ,as He's always been, always will be, but as a mortal, it would hurt to be crucified.

Answer 5

People have taken the greatest power of love and tried to make it so meaningless.When Jesus was on the CROSS HE TOOK ALL THE SINS OF THE WORLD ON HIMSELF.You nor anyone will ever be able to comprehend that.
Have you ever felt really bad for something you have said or done?Then multiply that by billions and this was placed on Jesus.
It a short time he suffered the sins of billions.He paid the price for those sins.Jesus is salvation.<><

Answer 6

I can give you the Jewish answer:
One person cannot die for the sins of another.
The Bible is clear, and it is consistent. One person cannot die for the sins of another. This means that the guilt from the sins committed by one person cannot be wiped out by the punishment given to another person. First, in Exodus 32:30-35, Moses asks God to punish him for the sin of the Golden Calf, committed by the people. God tells Moses that the person who committed the sin is the person who must receive the punishment. Then, in Deuteronomy 24:16, God simply states this as a basic principle, "Every man shall be put to death for his own sins." This concept is repeated in the Prophets, in Ezekiel 18 "The soul that sinneth, it shall die... the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him."
And G-d does not become human, and a human cannot become G-d
It is the hallmark of pagan, idolatrous faiths, to confuse God with human beings, either that God becomes human, or that humans become God. In Biblical history, one sees this confusion with Pharaoh, and with Haman (boo, hiss!), as well as with Antiochus, the Assyrian King against whom the Maccabbees rebelled. Furthermore, as one example, in Hosea 11:9 God tell us, "For I am God and not a man."

Answer 7

I'm not gonna get into a debate about whether there is a god, how powerful he/she is, or anything like that. I'm only gonna say that if there is a god as powerful as humans make him/her out to be, we're not in any position to try an think about what they're thinking. Why did God make grass green? Why not blue? Or how about whether or not God can make an object too heavy for himself to lift? These are all questions that, IMO, are so far beyond our understanding that we should just give up. If God does exist, you can ask qhat he thinks when you die.

Answer 8

"The Ultimate Gift" was for us.....the forgiveness of our sins.

He death was for our sake and his ressurection was for us so we could expereience new life...right now being able to leave our sins behind and walk in righteousness and holiness (Romans Chap 6)and later Christ will come back we will have a new heaven and a new earth (Revelation Chap 21)

Jesus was the "Ultimate Gift" for us, he didn't do all that for himself.

Christianity is based on faith in the Lord Jesus Christ for the salvation of mankind. Jesus was the promised messiah and king prophesied about throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament is the explaination and revelation of His coming and that He will come again.

We put our faith in Jesus Christ that He died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead to cover our sins forever and that we might also overcome sin and death. God will forgive us for our sins and bring us into new life in Christ. We leave our old life of sin behind and walk on in newness of life in Christ.

John 14.6 "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man comes to the Father except by me."

Romans 10.9-11 "9 If you use your mouth to say, "Jesus is Lord," and if you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved. 10 We believe with our hearts, and so we are made right with God. And we use our mouths to say that we believe, and so we are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be disappointed."

Hope that helps.

Jesus Loves You

Answer 9

Did you see the Passion of the Christ? That was a fair depiction of the violence imposed by Romans on their victims. The beating, scourging and execution of the Christ by the Romans was a vicious and painful death. It had to be that way since the bible promises that he was wounded for our sins and by his stripes we are healed.

Answer 10

Jesus paid the ultimate price for our sins when He bore the sins of the whole world on His body!
