Jesus Christ became sin for everyman and hung on a tree or
cross, so we don't have to experience hell. He took it for us.
Like the other guy said, the sword is the sword of truth and
dividing God's word. But to live by the sword can mean people
who live by their own ideas will die by them and not accept
God's Word. You bring it on yourself, you reap what you sow,
or what goes around comes around. Jesus gave up His Spirit
no on took it from him. You seem to think Jesus was tricked
or something. He knows your every thought!

Obviously you don't understand what Jesus meant by 'live by the sword'. Jesus never once defended himself, or used his powers to make himself greater than others. Of course there are people who die everyday who never 'take up a sword'. However your risks grow at a bigger rate if you do.
...So many people just don't know how to use the word Irony.

Jesus talked in parables.He meant that the sustainability with use of sword can work back.He was saved from the cross and migrated to the lost tribes of Israel.There he died as an hourable prophet spending his last moments as most loved ones amongst the converts from the lost tribes of jews in Afghanistan and India (Kashmir) not as carpenter at age of 125 years accomplishing his mission to the entirity as successful prophet.He said prophet is not disgraced but in his own country.

Matthew 26:fifty two - God’s Kingdom became “no part of this international” and had no national limitations to guard. (John 18:36) Jesus’ followers would cope with hatred and persecution the way Jesus did—fearlessly yet peaceably. they might expectantly bypass away the outcomes of concerns in God’s palms and count on him for the potential to undergo.—Luke 22:40 two. Matthew 10:34-36 - no longer all respond favorably to the “good information of peace.” This produces divisions in families, with some accepting the “good information” and others rejecting it. this is why Jesus stated: “do no longer think of I got here to place peace upon the earth; I got here to place, no longer peace, yet a sword. For I got here to reason branch, with a guy against his father, and a daughter against her mom, and a youthful spouse against her companion's mom. certainly, a guy’s enemies would be persons of his very own kinfolk.” Romans ability of execution right now became an upright pole, a torturestake. no longer by using sword.

Jesus died on the cross. He did not deserve this punishment. He died for our sins! Jesus was pure, Jesus was good. "God allowed his only son to be a sacrifice so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us." Act's 17:27

Part of Jesus's life was spent carving things out of bark from a tree (he was a carpenter), and later he died on a tree which was also made of wood. So in retrospect he lived having learned certain thigns from a tree and later died on a tree.
The cross was wooden.

Irony: Jesus was a man who worked with wood (carpenter) and He died being nailed to a WOODEN cross.

So what you're saying is you live by the cross you die by the cross? I haven't seen many christians dying on crosses so they must not be doing it right?? Maybe I just didn't get it
