God demonstrates his own love for you, in the fact that Jesus Christ died for you. (Romans 5:8)

Jesus was the Only One Who could and die on a cross for the sins of a lost world, “the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God” (1 Pet. 3:18).

Just as Moses lifted up the bronze serpent on a pole in the wilderness, so is it necessary that the Son of Man must be lifted up on the cross,(Numbers 21:9, ‭‭John‬ ‭3:14)‬‬

In order that everyone who believes in Chist who trusts Him, and relies on Him may not perish, but have eternal life and actually live forever! (‭‭John‬ ‭3:15)‬ ‬

God the Father did not withhold or spare even His Own wn Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all other things? Who shall bring any charge against God's elect when it is God Who justifies, that is, Who puts us in right relation to Himself? Who shall come forward and accuse or impeach those whom God has chosen? Will God, Who acquits us? (‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:32-33)‬‬

Jesus was the Sacrifice that Eternal Justice Demanded an Eternal Sacrifice, to Redeem man back to God. For mankind MUST pay the Penalty of His Transgression of God’s Command.

Natural man is unable to Pay the Penalty Justice Demands. He is helpless, He cannot Apporaoch God. So God sends His Solution to Redeem man back to Himself with the Sacrifice of Himself in Human flesh, by His Word becoming Flesh. (John 1:1,14)

The disciples saw what was going on around them and had heard the Words of Jesus, BUT did not understand nor comprehend what was ACTUALLY HAPPENING. Neither did the rulers of this age or world perceived and recognized and understood this, for if they had, they would never have crucified the Lord of Glory. (1 Corinthians ‭2:8‬)

Later the Holy Spirit would stir John to write: “WE ARE writing] toyou about the Word of Life in Christ Who existed from the beginning, Whom we have heard, Whom we have seen with our own eyes, Whom we have gazed upon for ourselves and have touched with our own hands.

And the Life an aspect of His being was revealed, made manifest, demonstrated, and we saw as eyewitnesses and are testifying to and declare to you the Life, the eternal Life in Christ Who already existed with the Father and Who actually was made visible, was revealed to us His followers.

What we have seen and ourselves heard, we are also telling you, so that you too may realize and enjoy fellowship as partners and partakers with us. And this fellowship that we have, which is a distinguishing mark of Christians, is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ the Messiah. ‭‭(1 John‬ ‭1:1-3‬)‬

Lets go back in time and walk with the disciples from the Cross to the Ressurection. The Passover Has filled Jerusalem with multitudes of people. There is great Comotion and talk going on about the crucifictions.

The Disciples did not know that Jesus was going to be made Sin on the Cross, that He was Going to die not only physically, But Also a Once for All Time death Spiritually for mankind. He personally bore our sins in His own body on the cross, as on an altar and offered Himself on it, that we might die cease to exist to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed. (Hebrews 9:27-28, 1 Peter 2:24)

They did not know Jesus was the “Lamb of God that takes Away the Sins of the World with His Precious Blood. Who was slain, and would redeemed us to God by His Blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and make us kings and priests to our God; And we would reign on the earth. (John 1:29, 1 Peter 1:19, Revelation 5:9-10)

The Disciples did not know He was Going to it possible for them to be made alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ;and Have the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life with which He quickened Him.(Ephesians 2:5)

By God’s grace, recieve His favor and mercy which they did not deserve by which they are saved, delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ's salvation, by virtue of being in Christ Jesus the Messiah. (Ephesians ‭2:6‬)

They did not know that the person on the cross was the Head of the Church, His Body which for those who believed would be a member individually. (Ephesians 1:22. 1 Cor 12:27)

They did not know about receiving Eternal Life. No one had received it before. It was an New Experience to them. They had heard Jesus say “Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert on a, so it is necessary that the Son of Man be lifted up. He was refereinf to Bimself on the cross. (Numbers 21:9) In order that everyone who believes in Him who trusts Him, and relies on Him may not perish, but have eternal life and actually live forever! ‭‭(John‬ ‭3:14-15‬)‬
