Q1. Bearing Our Sin


Recommended Posts

What I think doesn't amount to a hill of peas. But what the Bible tells us is true and He bore our sins in His own body so that we would not have to carry them. Peter just wanted us to know that, that Chirst is our sin taker, and sin forgive. Doesn't that make since for all of us who have and will believe in Him?

Q1. (1 Peter 2:24) Why do you think the Apostle Peter emphasized Jesus' physical body, when he talks about sin-bearing?

The body is only the servant of the spirit and does only as the spirit directs it. Rom. 6:12-13

PETER EMPHASIZED THAT JESUS WAS IN PHYSICAL FORM FOR MANY REASONS. HE WAS AS MAN HERE ON THIS EARTH, HE LIVED AS MAN, SIN WAS ACCESSIBLE TO HIM, BUT HE WAS SINLESS, A PERFECT MAN. IN ORDER TO REDEEM US FROM OUR SINS HE HAD TO BE IN THE PHYSICAL FORM, HE HAD TO BE HERE ON THIS EARTH AND HE HAD TO GIVE HIS BLOOD AS AN ATONEMENT FOR OUR SINS SO THAT WE COULD BE REEDEMED OF THOSE SINS. REMEMBER, GOD IS NOT SIN, HE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SIN, HE CAN NOT EVEN LOOK AT SIN. BECAUSE OF ADAM AND SIN WE WOULD HAVE TO BE REEDEMEMED OF THOSE SINS, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." JOHN 3:16

1 John 3:5.And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. [/i]

Sin entered the world thru a perfect man,Adam. Therefore,only a perfect,sinless man could atone for sin.

Since we sin with our physical bodys, Jesus had to take the punishnment for our sins upon His physical body.

Adam sinned while in the body. The body has senses which rule us. Jesus came in a body to show us how to live without sin, without letting our senses dictate our actions. We have to die to self, die to the physical pleasures our senses desire. Jesus sacrificed His body to show us a better way. We must die to the self nature of the body and live spiritually. Paul disciplined his body daily so that he wasn't a slave to his body. Die to sin and be alive to God.

Q1. (1 Peter 2:24) Why do you think the Apostle Peter emphasized Jesus' physical body, when he talks about sin-bearing?

He emphasized the physical body of Jesus because Jesus offered his physical body as a sacrifice

for the sins of the world past and future sins. and so it was the physical body of Jesus that was

the offering and Jesus' blood was the blood poured out as an the offering of the sins of the world.

I think he emphasized Jesus physical body because He took away our sins so people should live the life that is right. That we have been healed by his wounds.

Peter is truly connecting us to what is holy and pure by drawing our attention to the Flesh of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord's Body is risen and He has conquered sin and death. His Flesh and Blood have been transformed and made eternal. Our sins past, present, and future are taken away by Jesus Christ's pure life-giving Fesh and Blood because we believe and obey.

God is truly the Almighty and He sent His only Son to destroy satan and deliver us from sin. We are His mighty army on this earth sent here for a purpose and we will prevail. Praise God for the power that He imparts to us as we purify our bodies, minds and spirits with the Flesh and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We are made in His own image. He has given us the freedom to choose what fruit we will eat of this world. We choose life everlasting when we partake of our Lord's Supper. We gain His strength to overcome sin and to be delivered from evil because Jesus has made a Way to our God. Jesus Christ opened the Door to God by showing us how to perfectly obey God the Almighty. God asks us to be obedient and trust Him just like His Son Jesus Christ because he has great things in store for us if we will do His Will and lay down our lifes for Him just as Christ did at Calvary.

Somehow it sounds corny, but you are what you eat. I am going to partake of the divine Flesh and Blood of our Lord until I am transformed into the creature that God has intended me to be. My hope is no less for you. God bless and protect, Newbie in Christ

The Apostle Peter emphasized Jesus' physical body when he talks about sin-bearing because Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice. Jesus voluntary sacrificed His body for the atonement of our sins. He bore our sins in His body so that we might die to them and live for righteousness.

To quote from Isaiah 53:5 '' But he was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole, and by his bruises we are healed.'' New Revised Standard Version.

I think it goes back to God asking Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. Jesus became the sacrifice to atone for the sins of mankind. Jesus' body was sacrificed by His willingness to be sacrificed for our sins. He submitted to the bruises, spitting, jeers, nails, lashes, and ultimate death, so we would not have to be separated from the Father. His body was the sacrificial offering for our sins.

Q1. (1 Peter 2:24) Why do you think the Apostle Peter emphasized Jesus' physical body, when he talks about sin-bearing?

I think it might have something to do with the continuous sacrifices made with animals in the old testiment. These sacrifices could not atone for our sins. If they could they would not have to be done over and over again. Jesus came to us in the flesh, as a mortal man. Because He was tested and remained sinless, He was then able to take our sins into Himself. This way he bore the punishment of God's wrath for us sinners, once for all. It had to be His Perfect, Sinless body to do this. It was the only perfect acceptable sacrifice for God to bring us back into his family.

I believe that the Apostle Peter was bringing to our rememberance that it was on the Cross of Calvary that Jesus bore our sins. Prior to the cross the Jews were acquainted with the lamb being sacrificed for the atonement of their sins and now Jesus came to be the last sacrifice for the atonement of sins and bore it all in his physical body. Jesus' physical body was bruised, pierced, and battered so that we may be saved and have eternal life.

Jesus Christ sacrificed Himself upon the cross in the physical body, not spiritual, like any sacrifice made at the temple for the atonement of human sin. The pain and grief was physical as well as spiritual.

The important point is that the Messiah, as prophesied, bore our sins and the punishment due us in His human body.

Jesus came to earth in a human body so He could experience everything we have to deal with. His body became a sacrifice for us. God showed how much He loved us by sending His Son to die for us. :rolleyes:

1 Peter 2:24 - He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

Jesus was both divine and human. It was the human side that would be vulnerable to sin and therefore Peter would have to emphasize that aspect of Jesus.

Because it was the sacrifice for our sins.

It didn't contain sin by itself.

Therefore this was possible.

I think Peter was showing us what Jesus had done for us...of His own free will.....to give His body....it was not taken, it was not forced into this gift....but...given. it is difficult to imagine as a human knowing what that terrible death on the cross would be. To know that Christ Jesus paid this for us....knowingly and with love...He bore all of our sins....He who was sinless became sin for me.

Q1. (1 Peter 2:24) Why do you think the Apostle Peter emphasized Jesus' physical body, when he talks about sin-bearing? It is clear from God's Word that Jesus gave His literal body for our sins. He felt the agony and pain in His body that really should have been ours because it was for our sins and for the punishment of our sins that He gave His body.

Peter was stressing that Jesus bearing man’s sins in His physical body distinguished and excluded Him from the animal sacrifices or works of anyone other than Jesus; making it known, that it was Jesus and Jesus only who was responsible for the redemption of man.  Jesus’ took on man’s sin by suffering in His physical body that was an obvious and outward expression of the agony he endured not for Himself but for humanity so that we may die to sin and might live for righteousness.  Jesus bore man’s punishment putting us back into right relationship with the Father.
