The reason for Crucification and Resurrection of Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ - The Son of God - The God himself manifested in human flesh said about the crucification  and the death to his disciples way ahead than what has happened.
Matthew 26:2 NIV
"As you know, the Passover is two days away--and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified."

Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:12-19 says that - Our understanding of Resurrection of Life must be sure through Christ who has been crucified and rose on the third day. The first thing we need to be assure is of the Resurrection of Life. The second is that of our faith in Christ Jesus - Who was crucified for our sins. We would have been in our sins, if Christ has not crucified on the cross, It was not just the crucification that brings out from our sinful ways, but the power of resurrection, that which enabled Jesus Christ to rose from the death.

1 Corinthians 15:12-19

New International Version (NIV)

The Resurrection of the Dead

12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. 15 More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. 19 If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.


Most of us who believe in Jesus Christ, his crucification and Resurrection as true and we believe that he has chosen us for a specific purpose in this world, at first think that we will be enabled with greater powers, we will have no problems in life, everything will change. But the truth is that things will be same as it is, but the power of resurrection will enable us to overcome all such sufferings, enable us to be away from sinning, because we have been purified by the blood of Jesus Christ. The remembrance of his pain for us at cross, will enable us to be like him, to sacrifice this worldly pleasures. Then the power of his resurrection, that which enables us to say "NO" to those things which defile the holy temple, i.e. our flesh, hearts, souls...


As far as many even think that Christ has died but not rose, he will show his grace and he will enable us to understand all the mysteries then at his second coming. 


1 John 3

New International Version (NIV)
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.
Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.
Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seedremains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.


HAVE A GREAT AND BLESSED DAY AHEAD
