The suffering death and resurrection of Jesus

1)        

Christians believe Jesus suffered so that man could once again be close to God. Throughout the years, man has been gradually separated from God due to sin. The original sin committed by Adam, separated us from. Jesus died so that we were back with God. He removed the wall which separate man and God. By resurrecting, Jesus had overcome death and had showed that there is eternal life. “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life.

Also as said in Mark 14: 53-65, the soldier mocked Jesus. “…struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him.” Later on, when he was being Crucified, Jesus could have jumped off the cross, but did not. In Mark: 15, line 23, it says that soldiers offered Jesus wine mixed with myrrh to act as a pain killer, but Jesus did ...
