Jesus’ Sacrifice Flashcards
Jesus gave His life for [Greek word “for” (hyper), which carried the notion in this context that His death was “in our place”, “for our sakes”] on our behalf, voluntarily.
John 10:14-18 AMPC
I am the Good Shepherd; and I know and recognize My own, and My own know and recognize Me- [15] Even as [truly as] the Father knows Me and I also know the Father-and I am giving My [very own] life and laying it down on behalf of the sheep. [16] And I have other sheep [beside these] that are not of this fold. I must bring and impel those also; and they will listen to My voice and heed My call, and so there will be [they will become] one flock under one Shepherd. [17] For this [reason] the Father loves Me, because I lay down My [own] life-to take it back again. [18] No one takes it away from Me. On the contrary, I lay it down voluntarily. [I put it from Myself.] I am authorized and have power to lay it down (to resign it) and I am authorized and have power to take it back again. These are the instructions (orders) which I have received [as My charge] from My Father.
Everybody left Him, yet He was not alone, for the Father was with Him
John 16:32 AMPC
But take notice, the hour is coming, and it has arrived, when you will all be dispersed and scattered, every man to his own home, leaving Me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.
Glorified Jesus so that the Son could glorify God
John 17:1 AMPC
When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour has come. Glorify and exalt and honor and magnify Your Son, so that Your Son may glorify and extol and honor and magnify You.
The cup given by His Father
John 18:11 AMPC
Therefore, Jesus said to Peter, Put the sword [back] into the sheath! The cup which My Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?
His people saved a robber (Barabbas) in His stead
John 18:39-40 AMPC
But it is your custom that I release one [prisoner] for you at the Passover. So shall I release for you the King of the Jews? [40] Then they all shouted back again, Not Him [not this Man], but Barabbas! Now Barabbas was a robber.
He was tortured
John 19:1-2 AMPC
So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged (flogged, whipped) Him. [2] And the soldiers, having twisted together a crown of thorns, put it on His head, and threw a purple cloak around Him.
He was delivered to crucifixion by His people
John 19:6,12 AMPC
When the chief priests and attendants (guards) saw Him, they cried out, Crucify Him! Crucify Him! Pilate said to them, Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no fault (crime) in Him. [12] Upon this, Pilate wanted (sought, was anxious) to release Him, but the Jews kept shrieking, If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar! Anybody who makes himself [out to be] a king sets himself up against Caesar [is a rebel against the emperor]!

John 19:6,12,15 AMPC
When the chief priests and attendants (guards) saw Him, they cried out, Crucify Him! Crucify Him! Pilate said to them, Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no fault (crime) in Him. [12] Upon this, Pilate wanted (sought, was anxious) to release Him, but the Jews kept shrieking, If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar! Anybody who makes himself [out to be] a king sets himself up against Caesar [is a rebel against the emperor]! [15] But they shouted, Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him! Pilate said to them, Crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar!
We are justified by His sacrifice
Romans 3:24 AMPC
[All] are justified and made upright and in right standing with God, freely and gratuitously by His grace (His unmerited favor and mercy), through the redemption which is [provided] in Christ Jesus,
Provided atonement for our sins and reconciliation
Romans 3:25 AMPC
Whom God put forward [before the eyes of all] as a mercy seat and propitiation by His blood [the cleansing and life-giving sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation, to be received] through faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in His divine forbearance He had passed over and ignored former sins without punishment.
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us
Romans 5:8 NKJV
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
