The Passion - Our Response
![]() Who is Jesus Christ? What is Truth? Did The Resurrection Really Happen? Why Did the Crucifixion Have to Happen? You Did This For Me? |
Who is
Jesus Christ?
There is one supremely urgent question in life which every person must answer.
It was asked by Jesus Himself: "But
who do you say that I am?"
Who do you say he is?
Is He the Saviour? Then He can make
restitution for all of your sins.
Is He the Son of God? Then He can
reconcile you to God to become His child.
What is
Truth?
You heard Pilate ask Jesus the question: "What is truth?".
Jesus did not say in The Bible that
He knew the truth, He did not even say He could lead us to the truth. What
Jesus said was "I am the truth".
Did The
Resurrection Really Happen?
Or did something else happen with His
body? Or was He never dead at all?
When Jesus said "Destroy this temple,
and in three days I will raise it up",
He was speaking about His body. Jesus
came back from the dead to prove it.
Then the Bible records over 500
people who saw Jesus after He had been dead for three days, who could
witness to the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Why Did the
Crucifixion Have to Happen?
"There was no other
way. And Jesus did it once and for all, for all time,
forgiving the world its sins and
reconciling the Father to the world."
God loves you and He wants to have a
relationship with you but your sin made that impossible. A Holy God cannot
look on sin, so He had to ask Jesus to take your sin upon Himself and pay
the penalty. The wages of sin is death, so Jesus took the punishment each
of us deserved for our sin and died in our place.
You Did This
For Me?
Every gift reveals God’s love . . .
but no gift reveals his love more than the gift of the cross. Jesus said,
"Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his
friends." Jesus wants to be your friend, ask Him to come into your life
and be Lord today by praying this prayer from your heart.
"Lord,
I accept the love You showed for me when You sent Jesus to die for me,
then You raised Him from the dead to reign in heaven with You. I repent of
my sins and receive You Jesus as my saviour and Lord. I hand over my life
to You. Lead me to a good church and help me to read the Bible, so I can
tell others about your amazing love, Amen".
