"The Passion of the Christ portrays Jews as blood-thirsty, sadistic & money-hungry enemies of God & will enourage violence against the Jews."
~The Anti-Defamation League~
We have seen that many people had a part in Christ’s death, including the Romans, the Jews, Satan, Judas, Pilate, Herod, Caiaphas, Jesus Himself, & every sinner who has ever lived. But ultimately, who was responsible for Jesus’ death?
In what sense do you think we are responsible for His death since we had not even been born when Jesus was crucified?
Given the tension between God’s sovereignty & human responsibility, who do you think the Bible claims is ultimately responsible for Jesus’ death?
Isaiah 53:4-12~Romans 8:3~
Daniel 9:26~ 2 Corinthians 5:21~
Matthew 26:26-42~ Galatians 3:13~
John 5:30~Philippians 2:5-8~
John 6:38~1 Peter 1:19-20~
John 19:9-11~ 1 Peter 3:18~
Acts 2:22-23~ 1 John 2:2~
Why did God put Jesus on the cross (Romans 3:25-26)?
What does propitiation mean?
How does the cross demonstrate God’s righteousness?
How can God be just & the justifier?
How is Jesus’ atoning sacrifice appropriated by
sinners?
