When Jesus was sentenced to death, Jesus was crucified on a wooden cross. Ale proč? Why wasn’t Jesus stoned to death? Proč byl Ježíš ukřižován na dřevěném kříži?
What happened when someone committed a sin worthy of death in the Old Covenant?
And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance (Deuteronomium 21:22-23)
When a member of the congregation became disobedient to God and sinned in the Old Covenant, he not only laid the sin upon himself, but he laid the sin upon the whole congregation.
The whole congregation became accursed, as soon as a person became disobedient to the words of God and kept living in sin; v neposlušnosti Bohu.
The whole congregation became a partaker of his sin and that’s why the curse came over the congregation and became separated from God (Přečtěte si také: Co znamená údolí Achor? a What does the Word say about sin in the church?).
When a person committed a sin worthy of death, which is a hřích k smrti, then this person had to be put to death.
The person was put to death and because the person was accursed of God, some were hanged on a tree, so that the person’s shame was exposed.
Why was the person hanged on a tree? Because the disobedience to God started with a tree.
In order to prevent, that the land was being defiled, the person was removed from the tree and buried the same day, before the night. As soon as the person died and was buried, the curse, which rested on the congregation, through the disobedience of the person, was broken.
Proč byl Ježíš ukřižován na dřevěném kříži?
Proto jako přestupek jednoho soudu přišel na všechny lidi k odsouzení; stejně tak spravedlností jednoho přišel bezplatný dar na všechny lidi k ospravedlnění života. Neboť jako neposlušností jednoho člověka se mnozí stali hříšníky, tak poslušností jednoho budou mnozí spravedlivými (Římanům 5:18-19)
Since this punishment for the hřích k smrti, was part of the Old Covenant, Jesus was also hanged on a tree, according to the law of the Old Covenant. Jesus was hanged (ukřižován) on a tree (kříž), and He took the punishment, which was meant for hříšníci, sám na sebe (Akty 5:30; 10:39; 13:29).
Navzdory mnoha pokušením v těle, Jesus stayed obedient to God even unto death and carried the punishment (death penalty) for the disobedience of fallen man (hříšníci), a stal se náhradník pro padlého člověka.
Jesus carried all the sins and iniquities of the world, které vedou k smrti. He took the blame and the punishment (death penalty).
Jesus was despised and mocked. He was made sin and a curse and broke the curse, which was upon the generation of fallen man due to the disobedience of man, for those, who by faith in Him would be znovu se narodit v něm (Galatským 3:13).
The disobedience of man to God started at a tree and ended at a tree through the obedience of a Man.
As a spotless Lamb, Jesus was sacrificed. Aby, každý, Kdo by věřil v Ježíše Krista, Syn Boží, and make Him Saviour and Lord and obey Him, would not have to carry the punishment for sin, which is the death penalty, and therefore would not see the death, but would inherit eternal life (Židům 5:9).
That is to say, if a person is willing to give up his own life and zemřít do těla a následovat Ježíše (Slovo). Protože, that’s the condition to become a son or daughter of the living God and to be a partaker of the Tree of life and inherit eternal life.
