Sacrifício
O sacrifício é o coração do evangelho. Jesus entregou tudo por nós na cruz, e somos chamados a oferecer nossas vidas como sacrifício vivo, agradável a Deus.
O sacrifício supremo de Cristo
Jesus deu a própria vida como resgate por muitos. Seu sacrifício na cruz é o ato supremo de amor de toda a história — o Justo morrendo pelos injustos.
For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn him to death and hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked, flogged, and crucified. But on the third day he will rise again."
They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and then twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They put a reed in his right hand, and kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Father, into yoʋr hands I commit my spirit." After saying this, he breathed his last breath.
No one has greater love than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
For when we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
O cordeiro sem defeito
Cristo nos resgatou com seu sangue precioso, como cordeiro sem defeito. Ele se ofereceu uma vez por todas para tirar os pecados do mundo.
For you know that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your fathers, not with perishable things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot.
so also Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are eagerly waiting for him.
how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify your consciences from dead works to serve the living God?
NA28But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
and walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
He gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.
Nosso sacrifício em resposta
Movidos pelo amor de Cristo, somos chamados a oferecer nossas vidas, nossos bens e nosso serviço como sacrifício vivo. Deus se agrada da entrega generosa.
And do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and present your members to God as instruments of righteousness.
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice,’ for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
He who did not spare his own Son but delivered him up for us all, how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for yoʋ. Take this cup away from me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what yoʋ will."
But I take no account of these things, nor do I regard my life as precious to myself, if only I may complete my course with joy and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
