Christ/Crucifixion Resurrection/Messiah/Savior John 20:24–31 Jesus is the Messiah, God’s holy Son. When He was crucified on the cross, how many souls were won? Why would Jesus die for me? Why would He die when He was free? He did not sin. He had no shame. He had done nothing to shame His holy name. He was crucified as the Messiah for the sin of man. Few truly understood then, and many do not understand now. He was resurrected as the…..

The extreme suffering arose from physical, mental, and emotional anguish with no relief. The…..
Christ’s Crucifixion Love of God Psalm 22:1–10 While on the cross, Christ endured the pain of isolation. This is the realization of the agony of His suffering as a propitiation. He cried out to His Father when God looked away, When He saw all of my sins on Him that day. God, His Father, had forsaken Him while He suffered under the burden of my sins. He was alone, isolated; there was no one, not one single friend. He endured…..

The world system of thinking disagrees with God’s moral truth; the two do not link. The world’s logic thinks it can control what will occur.
