This is kind of my point. I am not much of a guy. I drink a little too much and gamble too much but as I was thinking about the dying on the cross thing it came to me that I would take one for the team too. I mean, do not get me wrong, I really appreciate what he did and all but would not anyone do that?
We have kids go "over the hill" in war into a hail of bullets and take one for the team. The Japanese have kamikazes. These people are sacrificing themselves for others. Jesus made a good call and all by dying on the cross to take care of all the sins of man but I think most people when faced with this decision would have done the same?
Not all that big of a deal?
You must be kidding right? No way do you honestly think that most people would do the same for all of mankind like Jesus did. Especially is this day and age of greed and selfishness. Either your kidding or you don't exactlly understand what it could be like to be tortured the way it's described Jesus was. In his time there was a lot of ways to be killed for whatever reason, and if you had ever seen or heard of any of those other ways, you would see that they were all pretty horrific. At the time they considered crucifixtion to be the worst way to be killed. So considering that, and even still you might be a strong person, would you still think that MOST people would do that for anyone else? I would consider myself a strong man, but if I knew what I had to go through, I don't think I could easily say I would, however go through it, because I beleive in mankind. It just wouldn't be an easy thing to do.
no?
