When Jesus was sentenced to death, Jesus was crucified on a wooden cross. אבל למה? Why wasn’t Jesus stoned to death? מדוע ישוע נצלב על צלב עץ?
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 (ספר דברים 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; באי ציות לאלוהים.
The whole congregation became a partaker of his sin and that’s why the curse came over the congregation and became separated from God (קרא גם: מה הפירוש של עמק אחור? ו מה אומר המילה על החטא בכנסייה?).
When a person committed a sin worthy of death, which is a חטא עד מוות, 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.
מדוע ישוע נצלב על צלב עץ?
לפיכך כמו בעבירה של דין אחד בא על כל בני האדם להרשעה; אף על פי כן בזכותו של אחד באה מתנת חינם על כל בני האדם להצדקת החיים. כי על ידי אי-ציות של אדם אחד נעשו רבים לחוטאים, כך על ידי ציות אחד יעשו רבים צדיקים (הרומאים 5:18-19)
Since this punishment for the חטא עד מוות, was part of the Old Covenant, Jesus was also hanged on a tree, according to the law of the Old Covenant. Jesus was hanged (צָלוּב) on a tree (לַחֲצוֹת), and He took the punishment, which was meant for חוטאים, על עצמו (מתנהג 5:30; 10:39; 13:29).
למרות הפיתויים הרבים שבבשר, Jesus stayed obedient to God even unto death and carried the punishment (עונש מוות) for the disobedience of fallen man (חוטאים), and became המחליף לאדם שנפל.
ישוע נשא את כל החטאים והעוונות של העולם, שמובילים למוות. He took the blame and the punishment (עונש מוות).
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 נולד מחדש בּוֹ (הגלטים 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. אז זה, כֹּל אֶחָד, מי יאמין בישוע המשיח, בן האלוהים, 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 (עברים 5:9).
That is to say, if a person is willing to give up his own life and למות לבשר ו ללכת בעקבות ישוע (המילה). כִּי, 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.
