Why Christ Died

Article Summary by: gerrylegister    

Original Author: Gerry Legister
Some days I could kill for a hug and die for a kiss and if you ask me sincerely about giving up my life for some worthwhile
cause, I would rather die in battle for my country, than perish in hopelessness, but scarcely for a righteous nation will one die, or even dare to die for the benefit of others, although there are no righteous nations presently on earth, because there is vast dereliction of duty to mankind and corruption looms fostering dark cruelty and evil surmising coming from all the international countries, we hear of atrocity daily in the media coverage pressing insecurity, from the cradle arms of Africa to the splendid eastern promise land, we are sometimes ashamed at what we have seen taking place in our society, and our imagination needs not stretch too far to find grotesques figures riveted with pain and lasting anger, often seeing more fanatical suicide bombers detonating their purpose build devices to go off in crowded streets and designated high profile areas, wounding and killing, their action counting on the full scale impact to achieve mass publicity in bringing terrible consequences adding damaging affliction to the unsuspecting innocent public, whose lives have been caught up in the unstable regime of political mine field.
Christ died for us because we did not know right from wrong, many people were for all intense and purpose, ignorant gentiles carried away with the unfruitful worshiping of dumb idols, unaware of the importance of the crucifixion, and been in agony Jesus reflected upon mankind''s dire predicament, by seeing the travail of his soul decimated for the innocent and reliving the torment of his persecutors gaining for a moments pleasure the cheapest notoriety, ridiculed history in making, but for the joy that was set before him Jesus hung limped nailed to the cross, love kept him there purposely driven, in his closing breathe he presented to his father a final request, " father forgive them for they know not what they do" Luke 23:34
The death of Christ will always be a mystery to some people, who are spiritually not aware of Adams fallen descendant’s, and the root cause flooring our inability to have dominance over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, lackluster in performing great feats, and perhaps many do not believe that it was for a genuine reason and connecting purpose in fulfilling Gods master plan that Jesus died to emancipate and proclaim secure redemption for mankind along with the ultimate reward of eternal life. God who is rich in mercy, commended his love towards us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for the ignorant . On the cross he asks for the forgiveness to be given for those who had nailed him to the tree. His captors included were also to be forgiven.
But God commended his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."-Romans 5:8.
The flawless life giving sacrifice of Jesus the blessed redeemer who came from the towering heights of heavens splendid domain, wins the title deeds of redemption, a prize that could not be bought by silver or gold, a state of spiritual dominion which was under the jurisdiction of the angelic spirit of darkness, but in the line of tempted fire Jesus held on bravely to complete his suffering passion, entering hell to take a way the keys of death from Satan.  
  No one else has ever achieve what Jesus did for the restoration of mankind, and none on earth will ever come near to the gift Christ gave, releasing us from our hearts tortured captivity, to gain noble Honor which justification by faith has elected the proof of precious peace, mending broken hearts, healing the walking wounded, restoring sight to the blind, Christ death for the worldly wise has adorn the graceful doctrine and beautify the meek with secure salvation, and the question I keep asking myself, is how do you love someone who loved so much ?
