Crucifixion of Jesus Christ - is an event that has tremendous importance for all Christian believers.This symbol is also occupies a central place in Christian art.Not everyone understands the meaning of this penalty."This had to be the crucifixion of Christ, the Romans or Jewish priests?"- Ask the people.In response, the true believers respond that it was necessary to all mankind.
place of Christ's crucifixion - Mount Calvary, which was outside the city walls of Jerusalem.Traditionally, there were committed executions of criminals who have committed serious crimes.Today Calvary is attached to the "Holy Sepulcher" and became the second main shrine for Christians around the world.So the crucifixion of Christ took place not because of the bad and evil people do not like a good preacher and a good, everything is much more serious and grandiose.The Old Testament of the Bible tells us that one of the Universal Law states: "No sin can be forgiven, if not there will be blood."
For this reason, "Red Thread sacrifice for sin" goes through the entire Bible, until the day when there was Christ's crucifixion.First I sacrificed for each person, and we can recall the story of Cain and Abel.Then, during the exit of the Jewish people from the slavery of Egypt have each family had to bring an animal to sacrifice its blood and anoint the doorposts of their homes.So they are not only in place of his blood shed the blood of an animal, but as we know, have received protection from the Angel of Death.
more useful to recall one episode of the Old Testament.Once, during the exodus from Egypt, the nation of Israel fell into transgression.People began to murmur, showing resentment against God and His prophet Moses.As punishment complainers began to sting poisonous snakes.When people repent, then Moses prayed to the Lord, and He told him to make a bronze serpent and raise it up, attaching the flag to a pole.When stung by a man looking at a snake, you heal and remained alive.This event symbolizes the crucifixion of Christ.The serpent is a symbol of sin, which made Adam and Eve and the tree - Cross.
crucifixion of Jesus Christ was sealed originally.This can be read, for example, in chapter 53 of the Prophet Isaiah and other books of the Old Testament.At the time of this execution Jews we have sacrificed for the nation.This makes the high priest who enters the sanctuary with the blood of the sacrificial animal, and all the people remained outside.It should be noted that the death on the cross was very painful and shameful, but the Son of God took it voluntarily as the sacrifice of animals could not bring inner liberation of man from his sinful nature.
person commits a sin for the reason that I was born so, presumably because all people are descended from Adam, who, thanks to the snake was "infected" by sin.Jesus is the Son of God in the Bible named "Second Adam" that existed before the advent of the first people in the world."Second Adam" came to fix what did in the Garden of Eden, Adam first.The sacrifice of Christ on the Cross was born for the whole world, for every person who is aware of its meaning, believe in the death and resurrection of the Son of God and accept Him as their Savior.
Crucifixion of Christ in the paintings of some artists portrayed this way: dripping from the wounds of Jesus Holy Blood washes lying at the base of the skull Cross.It belongs to Adam, and thus it is possible to comprehend that original sin has lost its power over the believer.In fact, for the sin of the world paid.In addition, Christ took as original sin and the punishment for its commission on himself.Therefore, its victims are also called "Substitution".He took a terrible penalty and actually defeated the forces belonging to the kingdom of darkness.It is written that Jesus Christ triumphed over them and with the government subjected the shameful defeat.Christians also believe that the Son of God, thus freed them from curses, sickness and disease.
