Yesu alipohukumiwa kifo, Yesu alisulubishwa kwenye msalaba wa mbao. Lakini kwa nini? Kwa nini Yesu hakupigwa mawe hadi kufa? Kwa nini Yesu alisulubiwa kwenye msalaba wa mbao?
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 (Kumbukumbu la Torati 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; katika kutomtii Mungu.
The whole congregation became a partaker of his sin and that’s why the curse came over the congregation and became separated from God (Soma pia: Ni nini maana ya bonde la Akori?? na What does the Word say about sin in the church?).
When a person committed a sin worthy of death, which is a Dhambi hadi kifo, 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.
Kwa nini Yesu alisulubiwa kwenye msalaba wa mbao?
Kwa hiyo, kama kwa kosa moja hukumu ilikuja juu ya watu wote na kuleta hukumu; Hata hivyo kwa haki ya moja zawadi ya bure ilikuja kwa watu wote kwa sababu ya maisha. Kwa maana kama kwa kuasi kwa mtu mmoja wengi walifanywa wenye dhambi, Hivyo kwa utii wa mmoja wengi watafanywa kuwa waadilifu. (Warumi 5:18-19)
Since this punishment for the Dhambi hadi kifo, 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 (msalaba), and He took the punishment, which was meant for Wadhambi, juu Yake (Matendo 5:30; 10:39; 13:29).
Despite the many temptations in the flesh, Jesus stayed obedient to God even unto death and carried the punishment (Adhabu ya kifo) for the disobedience of fallen man (Wadhambi), na kuwa mbadala kwa mtu aliyeanguka.
Yesu alibeba dhambi zote na uovu wa ulimwengu, ambayo husababisha kifo. He took the blame and the punishment (Adhabu ya kifo).
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 kuzaliwa mara ya pili ndani Yake (Wagalatia 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. Kwahivyo, kila mtu, ambaye angemwamini Yesu Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu, 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 (Waebrania 5:9).
That is to say, if a person is willing to give up his own life and Kufa kwa mwili na mfuate Yesu (neno). Kwa sababu, 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.
