Jesus
Why Jesus Came
Christians explain the cross as God sacrificing himself to himself. The talk says Jesus came to fulfill Yhwh's law so humanity could be transferred from Yhwh to the Father.
Coming up next A sealed scroll changes who owns humanity
Summary
The talk sets aside the picture of God sending himself to die to himself over a rule he made. Jesus came to change who owns humanity, pictured as a scroll with seven seals in Revelation 5. The lamb is worthy to open it because He was killed and, at the cost of His blood, purchased people for theos from every tribe, language, people, and nation. Revelation 11:15 says the kingdom of the world becomes the kingdom of the Lord and His Christ.
Read from verse 7, Deuteronomy 32 has the Most High divide humankind and Yhwh receive Jacob, and the Exodus puts that allotment under Yhwh's commands until the generation dies except two. Salvation is release from Yhwh's rule, law, fear, and death, which requires one man to live under that law without breaking it. Jesus refuses the kingdoms Yhwh offers, because a temporary deal would not fulfill the law. Moses and Elijah discuss what He will carry out in Jerusalem, the Father says to listen to Him, John 19:30 says it is completed, and a certificate of indebtedness is nailed to the cross.
The lamb stands even though He was slain, so death did not hold Him, and the public transfer comes later. What is left for you is trust in Jesus and love of one another, the test where the least were Him, not a sinner's prayer. Jesus says you cannot serve both, because you will love one and hate the other, and once the contract is executed, Yhwh's law is the wrong one to keep. The answers then run in order: He came to fulfill that law so the contract could be executed, the scroll puts the release into effect, no one else could open it, and slaves become children and heirs.
