He Is The Man

Matthew 27:22 "Pilate saith unto them, what shall I do then with Jesus which is called the Christ?They all say unto him, let Him be crucified".

Jesus mission was to bear the burden of our sins. He took upon himself the punishment we deserved for our sins, and he suffered on behalf of us, suffering that included being whipped all night long by a band of solder, he was spit on, slapped with an open hand, mocked and pierced in his side. He endured the excruciating pain of his execution knowing that his death would result in spiritual restoration, and in some cases physical healing, for those who put their trust in him.

All of us are sinners, and all are in need of spiritual redemption. Jesus secured that redemption with the shedding of his blood, for without the shedding of blood ,there is no remission of sin.Jesus didn't open his mouth and complain about his treatment, although by many standards he was treated unfairly. Like a lamb being led to slaughter, he yielded to his fate without resistance. He was the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. He was God's sacrificial lamb, a lamb slaughtered on the altar as an atoning sacrifice. He was also the scapegoat, the one who separates sin from the sinner so God can look at us sinners and see us as sinless. Because Jesus took on the sin of  mankind and was sacrificed on our behalf, God's demand for justice was satisfied. Now he sits at the right hand of God, where he intercedes on the behalf of all believers, when the enemy makes accusations against us.

What was needed to purchase redemption for man was done through Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross, where he bore our iniquities,  and poured his life out unto death to secure forgiveness." behold the Man who died to save the whole world.
