Morte de Jesus
A morte de Jesus é o sacrifício supremo do amor de Deus. Na cruz, o Cordeiro de Deus carregou os pecados do mundo, satisfez a justiça divina e abriu o caminho da salvação para todos.
O sacrifício na cruz
Jesus disse: 'Está consumado!' Na cruz, Ele cumpriu toda a lei, pagou o preço do pecado e reconciliou a humanidade com Deus.
After this, knowing that everything was now accomplished so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus says, "I’m thirsty!" Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; so they filled a sponge with sour wine, placed it on a hyssop, and put it to His mouth. Then, when He had received the sour wine, Jesus said, "Paid in full!!" And bowing His head He dismissed His spirit.
Now when the soldiers had crucified Jesus they took His clothes and made four parts, a part for each soldier. They also took His tunic, but the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top. So they said among themselves, "Let’s not rip it, but toss for it, to see whose it will be," so that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says:
"They divided my clothes among themselves,
and for my clothing they cast a lot."
That is why the soldiers did these things.
Now Jesus' mother and her sister, Mary of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene were standing by His cross. So Jesus, seeing His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He says to His mother, "Woman, there is your son!" Then He says to the disciple, "There is your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
When they arrived at the place called ‘The Skull’, they crucified Him there; also the criminals, one on His right, the other on His left.
Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing"; while they were dividing up His clothes by casting a lot. Meanwhile the people stood looking on. And especially the rulers among them were sneering, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself, if such is the Christ, the chosen of God!" Yes, even the soldiers mocked Him, approaching and offering Him sour wine, and saying, "If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself!"
In fact, above Him there was a written notice, in Greek, Latin and Hebrew letters:
THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Then one of the hanged criminals started berating Him, saying, "If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!" But the other reacted and rebuked him, saying: "Don’t you even fear God, since you are under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward for our deeds; but this man did nothing wrong." Then he said to Jesus, "Please remember me, Lord, when you come in your kingdom." Jesus said to him, "I tell you assuredly, today you will be with me in Paradise."
Now when the sixth hour had come [noon], darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. At the ninth hour Jesus called out strongly, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lima sabachthani?" which is translated, "O God, my God, why have You forsaken me?"
And then, the veil of the temple was ripped in two from top to bottom! And the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split, and the graves were opened. (And many bodies, of the saints who had fallen asleep, were raised; and coming forth out of the graves after His resurrection, they entered the holy city and were made visible to many.) Now when the centurion and those with him guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that happened they were scared stiff and said, "This Man really was the Son of God!"
O amor que se entrega
Ninguém tem maior amor do que aquele que dá a vida pelos amigos. Deus prova seu amor em que Cristo morreu por nós quando ainda éramos pecadores.
No one has greater love than this, that someone should lay down his life for his friends.
Because God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes into Him should not be wasted, but should have eternal life.
And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross!
Morte e ressurreição
Jesus morreu e ressuscitou, e a morte não mais tem domínio sobre Ele. Pelo batismo, participamos de sua morte e ressurreição.
"Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Natsorean, Natsorean’, which Saul would understand as being the Messiah. a man from God attested to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by Him in your midst, as you yourselves well know, Him—being delivered up by the established purpose and foreknowledge of God—you murdered, having taken Him with lawless hands and crucified Him; whom God raised up, ending the labor pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.
"I am the good shepherd. good shepherd He really cares about the sheep, to the point of dying for them. The good shepherd lays down his life on behalf of the sheep.
For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death, until He comes.
