Christ shed His blood for our sins

The movie “The Passion of the Christ,” which portrays the last few hours of Christ’s life, once created a sensation all over the world. This film depicts Christ’s agony after the Passover and it ends with His resurrection. To put it simply, it vividly depicts the process of Jesus becoming a kernel of wheat to save souls.

Like Christ, we, too, ought to devote ourselves to saving lives, as a kernel of wheat. Now, through the Bible, let’s take an in-depth study of Christ, who sacrificed Himself to save the lives of many people, and of the new covenant which He established through His blood.

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, …
1 Co 15:3-4

Christ was badly whipped and beaten; His hands and feet were cruelly pierced by nails; His flesh was torn and His blood was spattered over the floor.

Watching Christ suffering and dying on the cross in the movie, we were reminded how grave our sins were that Christ had to pay such a terrible price so that we might be forgiven.

As described in the Bible, Christ sacrificed Himself for our sins. He came as a man, weak and feeble, just like one of us, and was slandered, reproached and insulted by the religious leaders in those days; He bore all the inexpressible pain and shame to save our lives.

Christ tried His hardest even to the point of willingly giving Himself to death on the cross in order to save our lives. Like Him, we should also spare no effort and sacrifice to save the lives of all human beings. For Christ said, “I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you” (Jn 13:15).
