I Corinthians 11:26
I Corinthians 11:26
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.
His Death is a Substitution
But he was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities:
The chastisement of our peace was upon him;
And with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned every one to his own way;
And the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
His death was a Substitutionary Atonement meaning Jesus took our place and he endured the penalty of sin so we could be reconciled to God.
His Death is a Sacrifice
Jesus was not murdered or martyred
He was not forced or overpowered
He was not guilty or condemned
He was a SACRIFICE
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
His Death is a Satisfaction
The death of Jesus absorbed the full measure of God’s righteous anger against sin.
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
