1. Many times we have listened about religion and moral ideas which try to
teach us different points of views about many common and daily things in the life,
but there is a mystery event which is not clearly understood and also it has many
consequences not only in the Christians´ life but also in the human´s life. Maybe
you can recognize this phrase, “If it is possible, may this cup be taken from me”
(NVI, Bible Matthew 26:39), especially in Easter circumstances. Nevertheless,
have you thought what it means? Why this historical character pronounced those
words? Several questions could born in our mind related to the cross and few
answers could be given because the mystery of the cross has two sides one of
them requires your faith and the other your conscious.
First at all, let´s imagine the scene. Jesus is alone and he knows what is
going to happen with him in a few minutes more. His disciples are sleeping in the
same place but they are not with him in the same way because they are tired and
Jesus „soul is sorrow. The main issue is why? Why it was necessary to happen,
why an innocent had to go to the cross as an evil person and paid for humans
„sins. For us, it has not sense because we cannot comprehend effectively for the
reason that we never offer a child for people who are guilt, rapist, selfish, liar
among others. Nonetheless, “it was the Lord´s will to crush him and cause him to
suffer” (NVI Bible, Isaiah 53: 10 a) so God “who did not spare his own son, but
gave him up for us all”(NVI Bible, Romans 8:32) wanted to crush Jesus in order to
save us because we are lost without Jesus „sacrifice. According to God „justice, we
have to die because God hates the sin and we lives in sin all the time in our mind,
in our hearth and also in our actions. Hence, Jesus changed our place; the
innocent took the place of the guilt and now we are innocent for the Jesus „blood.
In conclusion, when Jesus said that “If it is possible, may this cup be taken
from me” (NVI, Bible Matthew 5: 23) he referred this cup as God´s ire which had to
be accomplished. Thus, this ire was over Jesus in the cross but God is not a bad
father. His love is so huge that he offered his only son for our life and now we have
the opportunity to be saved by Jesus „sacrifice; nevertheless, Jesus has risen and
this is splendid new for us.
