Hello mate, sorry for late reply!
Based on all the researches I did by reading all the different 'holy books' I made my own opinion and reach to that conclusion which really make sense to me.
I'll mention a simple logic : Being so powerful with all types of miracles performed, do you think someone like Jesus can be killed just like that by simple human being? And as many are claiming that he was the son of god, how come a son of god got such treatment on earth that has been created by his father!?
Concerning the video, i really like the mention of the teaching of Jesus, these were powerful teachings. I'm really having a great time participating in the discussion!
Hi mate, no problem at all. Thanks for your comment.
That's a very good question: I'll mention a simple logic : Being so powerful with all types of miracles performed, do you think someone like Jesus can be killed just like that by simple human being? And as many are claiming that he was the son of god, how come a son of god got such treatment on earth that has been created by his father!?
Let me try my best to respond to it. What you've said here is exactly at the core of Christianity and why so many billions of people throughout history have followed and trusted in Jesus.
Yes, you are right that since he has done so many miracles, he is more than able to save himself and not be killed, and he too said that to those who capture him. But the reason Jesus came into the world was to offer his own life to pay for the rebellion and sins of the human race. Because you see, from God's perspective, each one of us have fallen short of what God intends for us. We lie and cheat, hate and kill, are selfish and unloving... and we all deserve God's wrath and punishment because of our rebellion and the evil things we have done or thought.
But God's plan was to send his own Son, Jesus, to take the punishment for our sins and the bad things we have done and said. That is why Jesus voluntarily went to the cross and died in our place. This is what we mean by how much he loves us and his grace (unmerited favor) towards us. You see God is a God of justice, and our sins and rebellion need to be punished, but he sent his own and only Son, to die in our place. And as he was crucified, Jesus said "forgive them Father, for they know not what they do."
Grace, love, justice and forgiveness. All these things are at the core of Christianity, and all because Jesus voluntarily sacrificed himself for us.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Sorry it became such a long answer.
Bless you bro.
