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.
5 But he was wounded because of our transgressions, he was crushed because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our welfare was upon him, and with his stripes we were healed.6 All we like sheep did go astray, we turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath made to light on him the iniquity of us all.7 He was oppressed, though he humbled himself and opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before her shearers is dumb; yea, he opened not his mouth.
16 For dogs have encompassed me; a company of evil-doers have inclosed me; like a lion, they are at my hands and my feet.17 I may count all my bones; they look and gloat over me.18 They part my garments among them, and for my vesture do they cast lots.
7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head:8 'Let him commit himself unto the LORD! let Him rescue him; let Him deliver him, seeing He delighteth in him.'
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.
Morte e ressurreição
Jesus morreu e ressuscitou, e a morte não mais tem domínio sobre Ele. Pelo batismo, participamos de sua morte e ressurreição.
