THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS

[charles njoroge]

I have been wondering what would have happened if Judas did not betray Jesus if jesus had to die for our sins. Many scriptural verses tell us that Jesus was sent to be received and not to be killed.   Come someone please assist.   Karori, Nairobi, Kenya.

What verses indicate that Jesus was not to be killed?

There are MANY verses that teach He came to die! Here are a few...

Isaiah 53:3  He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and
acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he
was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4  ¶Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we
did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5  But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our
iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his
stripes we are healed.
6  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his
own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7  He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his
mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before
her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8  He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare
his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for
the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9  And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his
death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his
mouth.
10  ¶Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief:
when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his
seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall
prosper in his hand.
11  He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied:
by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall
bear their iniquities.

He came for the express purpose of:

1. Revealing to us what God was like: God is like Jesus. If you have any idea about God that is not part of what Jesus has shown, it is not a good idea of God.

2. Showing us US. By his total identification with our sin (2 Cor 5:21) and our total identification with His righteousness (same verse) we have became like Him.

3. Dying as a redemptive sacrifice for the sins of the whole world: past, present and of all future generations with no exception. A full provision for the sin problem has been made and the price has been paid. Therefore nobody needs to die anymore for their sins. Yet people are still dying for their lack of knowledge.

3.1 In John 12:23-34 we read:

²³And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

 ²⁴Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

 ²⁵He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

 ²⁶If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

 ²⁷Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

 ²⁸Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

 ²⁹The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.

 ³⁰Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.

 ³¹Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

 ³²And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

 ³³This he said, signifying what death he should die.

 ³⁴The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
