I recently saw a question regarding how Jesus could take our sins upon Him.
I must admit quite an intriguing question. I mean how could someone account for our sins without sinning?
In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood,[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. Hebrews 9:22 (NIV)[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Jesus was required to die to cleanse our robes which were filthy with Sin.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Do you recall in the old testament that when sin was in the congregation a lamb had to be slain.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The lamb slain was a symbol of Christ to come who would be slain for the entire world.
Remember the lamb had to spotless and without blemish. Which is why Jesus living a sinless life was so important. He had to be without spot or blemish(sin).
It was by this that his blood was able to cover the sin of the entire world and why the lamb sacrifices were stopped.
There was no need for a symbol any longer the real lamb had come.
[/FONT]The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29
I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Kind Regards
