JESUS WAS PUNISHED FOR OUR SINS
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. What Jesus Did
a) There are three words that we can easily commit to memory: perfection, punishment, price; which outline the wonderful things that Jesus did by dying on the cross. These are necessary things which we could not possibly have done for ourselves.
2. Jesus Was Punished For Our Sins
a) Jesus was punished instead of us because our own punishment would have to be everlasting.
b) God's severity (Romans 11:22) demands not only perfection. God also demands extreme punishment for every imperfection.
c) In theory, we could expiate our sins by suffering the just punishment for them. But in practice that is impossible, because the just punishment is nothing less that the everlasting punishment prepared and reserved for the devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41, 46). We can hardly expiate our own sins by a never-ending destruction from the presence of the Lord (2 Thessalonians 1:9).
