The Ultimate Sacrifice

Preface

2.4 billion people of the earth believes that 2000 years ago, a man by the name of Jesus of Nazareth was crucified to save humanity. His teachings were recorded in 4 books now known as the Gospels. Many people tried to interpret His teachings, this includes the disciples and especially Paul. It is unfortunate however, that later generations accepted these interpretations as the ultimate interpretation, and that begins the 2000 year distortion of Christ. I have begun this journey first with my analysis on the trinity, and I tried to fit it with my idea of God. However, I encountered problems, namely of the crucifixion. It is time though, for me to reveal what I know, believe in what you will.

Death

I read an article made by a priest a week ago more or less, detailing about what kind of sacrifice Jesus made to save us, humanity. Of course, I used to think that it was just a physical death and suffering, but I know that is illogical. How can suffering in a physical level be equal to the sin of all? Furthermore, this death that befalls Jesus was enough to terrify Him into falling into despair and fear in Gethsemane. How could mere physical death terrify the Son of God Himself, when His future followers would die happily for the truth? It is not a physical death He fears, but it is a spiritual death. This is possible as consciousness is separate from the flesh. But what is this spiritual death exactly?

Spiritual death is the natural and logical consequence of sin, or immorality. It is not the termination of consciousness, as non existence is meaningless to consciousness, and thus it is impossible to experience non existence. It is in fact, a form of suffering, it is what some people describe as “hell”. When one sins, they have surrendered themselves into an unfree state, they chain themselves to the flesh, or to something else. And when you are unfree, you are the same as a dead man. Once you become chained, light will fade from your eyes, and you will slowly be dragged into an eternal darkness. Where you are alone, with no hope of salvation, tortured by your desires and your guilt, trapped in an eternal despair. This is what usually happens, until one time, one offered Himself for death.

Sacrifice

This man came up to God, the culmination of all existence, and a reflection of all things good about which that existed, and offered to end this cycle of madness. A cycle of death, where man and others will continue to sin until death consumes them, and in the end, existence will be doomed by the natural corruption it had caused, God too will then be corrupted and die. This man, offered to take the place of everyone else, and let the consequences of all sin on earth be administered upon His soul. Yet He is a noble man, He is sinless, with no stains on His pure soul. And so, He is condemned, by His own choices, He became cursed and damned for eternity. What happens next, has been recorded in the books.

As the man takes the form of a servant, He would have the knowledge that He has from the beginning, and He would corrupt Himself by His own consent. A knowledge, of an inevitable death, an inevitable suffering would burden Him for the 33 years of His life. He would speak in metaphors and parables, and He would lay down the truth, in hopes of someone to expose it. He would hide His own emotions, for the sake of others. All He does is for others, just so He can see people be saved from their deaths. And in the end, He would give up His life, His freedom and His sanity, to save the world from a damned end.

Jesus is a human, like all of us, but He is fully aware of His true nature, that He is God as well, and such, He is one that is in full communion with God. He requires to be in such a communion, as His curse would shatter Him if He were to go alone. He is chained to His God, for were the chains to break free, He would truly turn insane and a horror of unimaginable magnitude shall be unleashed. This is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. One who gave His body and blood for all of us, so we can live from it, while His soul writhes in pain.

The Truth

It is a common misconception that by the time Jesus was resurrected, His curse is lifted. No, in fact His curse is never lifted. His resurrection is only there to give hope, hope that in the end the curse will be lifted, and all of this pain will disappear. It is to reassure the disciples that He is still with them. But His wounds, a sign of the curse, shows that His curse still applies. His curse did not leave Him woundless, it disparaged Him and broke Him in ways unimaginable to the human mind. But He hides this, as such He shows no signs of weakness, as no human would understand. None would accept Him.

He became twisted, and depraved as a human. He feels the worst of pain, and His suffering outweighs all others, for it is the suffering of others that He feels. His soul is constantly haunted and tortured by our sins, our desires, our crimes. Jesus Christ, while painted as a Godly being, as a superman, savior of all, noone realized what He had endured and what He became to do all of that. His wounds tore His heart apart into an unrecognizable mess. And if it was not for His communion with God, surely He would have turned into darkness, and turned on all of us. He is a soul in pain, in the worst of sufferings. His glory is a misunderstanding. He is continously cursed for us.
