Have you ever thought about how someone outside of the Christian community must feel when they hear that there was this man from Nazareth who lived 2,000 years ago and He purposefully “died for our sins“? And then you have to logically follow this logic, which may not seem quite so logical to them. Follow along now.
1-Jesus died for our sins.
2-Jesus was a sacrificial lamb that made our forgiveness possible.
3-This was needed because God is a lawgiver and judge and He’s upset that we’ve violated His commandments.
4-Therefore we are all sinners!
5-God hates sinners and wants to kill them, and in fact, He can’t stand to have us in His presence and would not were it not for Jesus hiding our sins.
6-God will not forgive us unless some sort of blood atonement is made that’s acceptable to Him.
7-So, Jesus must die and be that blood atonement.
8-Jesus becomes a substitutionary sacrifice leading us into forgiveness and out of sin and guilt.
Not a very easy logic to sell is it? Is it even logical?
Maybe we should get back in touch with God and ask Him what He thinks. Mayve the church doesn’t have it all right yet.
