Did Jesus Really Give His Life?


Did Jesus really give His life?

 
It is the claim of scripture: Jesus gave His life as an act of love.

 John 10:14-18

I John 4:9-10.

 

Jesus' death was a marvelous sacrifice.

Allowed Himself to be taken

John 18:6

 

Motivation was forgiveness

Luke 23:34

 

Awareness to fulfill scripture

John 19:28

 

Pronounced completion of His work

John 19:30

 

Pronounced His death as voluntary

Luke 23:45-46

 

Show of strength shows death voluntary

Matthew 27:50

 

Jesus' sacrifice   redeems us eternally

"Today you will be with me in paradise".

 

This sacrifice must be honored

By believers – in living and sharing. 

 

By seekers – in surrendering your life
