Kad je Isus osuđen na smrt, Isus je bio razapet na drvenom križu. Ali zašto? Zašto Isus nije bio kamenovan do smrti? Zašto je Isus razapet na drvenom križu?
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 (Ponovljeni zakon 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; u neposluhu Bogu.
The whole congregation became a partaker of his sin and that’s why the curse came over the congregation and became separated from God (Pročitajte također: Koje je značenje doline Akor? i What does the Word say about sin in the church?).
When a person committed a sin worthy of death, which is a grijeh do 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.
Zašto je Isus razapet na drvenom križu?
Stoga kao prijestupom jednoga suda dođe na osudu sve ljude; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. Jer kao što su neposluhom jednog čovjeka mnogi postali grešnici, tako će poslušnošću jednoga mnogi biti pravedni (Rimljani 5:18-19)
Since this punishment for the grijeh do 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 (razapet) on a tree (križ), and He took the punishment, which was meant for grešnici, na Sebi (djela 5:30; 10:39; 13:29).
Unatoč mnogim iskušenjima u tijelu, Jesus stayed obedient to God even unto death and carried the punishment (death penalty) for the disobedience of fallen man (grešnici), i postao zamjena za palog čovjeka.
Isus je nosio sve grijehe i bezakonja svijeta, koji dovode do 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 Ponovno rođen u njemu (Galaćanima 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. Tako da, svatko, koji bi vjerovali u Isusa Krista, Sin Božji, 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 (Hebrejima 5:9).
That is to say, if a person is willing to give up his own life and umrijeti tijelu i slijedi Isusa (riječ). Jer, 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.
