När Jesus dömdes till döden, Jesus korsfästes på ett träkors. Men varför? Varför stenades inte Jesus till döds? Varför korsfästes Jesus på ett träkors?
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 (Mosebok 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; i olydnad mot Gud.
The whole congregation became a partaker of his sin and that’s why the curse came over the congregation and became separated from God (Läs också: Vad är meningen med Achors dal? och Vad säger Ordet om synd i kyrkan??).
When a person committed a sin worthy of death, which is a synd till döden, 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.
Varför korsfästes Jesus på ett träkors?
Alltså, såsom genom en enda doms brott kom över alla människor till fördömelse; På samma sätt kom den fria gåvan över alla människor genom en enas rättfärdighet till rättfärdiggörelse av liv. Ty liksom genom en enda mans olydnad många gjordes till syndare, så genom en enas lydnad skall många göras rättfärdiga (romare 5:18-19)
Since this punishment for the synd till döden, was part of the Old Covenant, Jesus was also hanged on a tree, according to the law of the Old Covenant. Jesus was hanged (crucified) on a tree (korsa), and He took the punishment, which was meant for syndare, på sig själv (Handlingar 5:30; 10:39; 13:29).
Trots de många frestelserna i köttet, Jesus stayed obedient to God even unto death and carried the punishment (dödsstraff) for the disobedience of fallen man (syndare), och blev Ersättaren för fallen man.
Jesus bar alla världens synder och missgärningar, som leder till döden. He took the blame and the punishment (dödsstraff).
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 Född på nytt i Honom (Galaterbrevet 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. Så att, alla, som skulle tro på Jesus Kristus, Guds Son, 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 (hebréer 5:9).
That is to say, if a person is willing to give up his own life and dö bort från köttet och följa Jesus (ordet). Därför att, 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.
