If Jesus had the possibily to save his own life and he didn't, why do we have to feel guity for his death?

he was a great man. i do have sympathy for him for the way and reasons he was killed. i do feel neither guilty nor grateful. but it is sad that, while he was killed because his philosophy views, his followers often have followed the ways of his percecuters in his very name..

.the reality which you began your question with 'Christians.....' tells me you at the instant are not one. And your question is as previous as Methuselah. Why do not you bypass see the movie "the keenness of Christ" - Mel Gibson's movie. you will finally end up status interior the group on the foot of the pass. all of the unbelievers have been status there - mocking. yet you will additionally locate that they have got been all afraid. frightened of what? Who?.........Ah, it is the question. Now the question for you is, because you took the time to look up Matthew 27: 40 two-40 3, do you have the 'guts' to bypass and notice the reality revealed precise earlier your eyes? Why do not you bypass and study alongside with people who mocked. that is a foul element to mock the Lord. bypass get enlightened. Oh, by potential of how, did you forget approximately that Jesus DID save himself. undergo in strategies the 'Resurrection"! on the third day he rose lower back! Jesus laid down his existence (pass), no person 'took' his existence. He GAVE his existence for you and me. it variety of feels absurd to you, my chum, because you don't understand that form of love. bypass see the movie......

We don't have to feel guilty for his death! Jesus came into the world, to save the sinners from going to hell. His whole purpose/will was to come in and die for our sins. Think of life this way, we aren't from the this earth un Christian's we are aliens to the land we know. Our true home is in heaven with God. Keep your mind on heavenly things, not of worldly things. Amen

God Bless,

Jesus didn't die to make us feel guilty. He died in order to free us from our sin. If he had saved his own life, we would still be under the old covenant whereby forgiveness of sins would only be possible through a sacrificial system. Jesus became our sacrifice when He (being perfect) died on the cross.

Hi ...

As Willowprincess and I'llTry put so well, Christ did not go through His suffering and death for the purpose of making us feel guilty.

He did so in order to save us. He made Himself the perfect sacrifice for humanity's sins.

Don't feel guilty. Just thank Him!

I don't.

I don't see his death as any better/worse than that of so many others who died via. cruelty.

I wasn't there.

I didn't kill him.

I didn't even participate in the killing.

I do admire the guy for his love of being fully human and using all his skills to set all the goodness in motion he could while living here on this earth...

Two views

1. God has taken the suffering to demonstrate the mankind about the evilness.

2. If God can't save himself, what the hell do we common people trust

I don't feel the least bit guilty. I've never even heard of the guy.

we're not supposed to feel guilty, but realize that He died because He loved us ever so much. all He asks is that we love Him back.

we don't need to feel guilty, we need to feel grateful.

we can feel guilty over our sins that caused the need for Him to die, but once we repent, then we have no guilt over those sins.

We are not to feel guilty. We should be grateful to Him for what He did for us.
