I would like to take a look a few prepositions concerning Jesus death. First the chapter discusses Jesus’ decision as voluntary, and He realized it as being Gods will and the only way to save the people from eternal damnation. It was his choice of whether to go through with the cross. On the other hand, the cross was an utter necessity to save the world. Jesus was not forced to go to the cross. From the time He was born, “Jesus voluntarily and spontaneously thought in terms of the cross.” There was no other way than the cross. This was truly an essential act in order to fulfill His father’s will. “Jesus was positive that the cross was part of the eternal will and purpose of God.” It was all part of His plan. Jesus did not consider himself as a victim of men, but as a servant of God.

Next we look at the views of atonement, or how Jesus’ life was offere

d in place of man’s life. According to Paul, “Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures.” Our sins and Jesus’ death are therefore connected. He was sent down from Heaven to set a living example of a perfect, sinless life that we must strive to achieve. Jesus was self-emptying and had sacrificial obedience, which were examples of mind and heart. Jesus was an example to us, a leader and someone we want to follow and imitate.

The second great truth is the work of Christ as being sacrificial. This sacrifice was neither given to the devil of to God, but “it const the life and death of Jesus Christ to tell men what God is like.” If Jesus had never died on the cross, we never would have known what God is like. “The death of Christ was necessary for this reason, Jesus would not have gone through with his death, then God’s love would not be as great as it is today. “It would have meant that there was somewhere beyond which the love of God would not go, that there was something beyond which God would not forgive.”
