Jesus life, death and resurrection defeated sin and evil...
When Jesus was alive he was able to preach and spread the word of God to defeat sin and evil. The message he preached to people was to live the life that God wants them to, by doing the right things and turning away from their current state of sin and evil. Jesus preached effectively and turned many into people of God. An example of Jesus preaching in the bible is in Mathew 13:1-9 where he tells the people about the Parable of The Sower teaching them about how if people allow themeless to be mislead they will not end up well as opposes to those who strive for goodness who end up well.Therefore in Jesus’s life the ending of sin and evil was accomplished by preaching the word of God when he was alive. In death Jesus defeated sin and evil by taking away the sins of the world, Jesus's death on the cross represents Gods his love for us, love to the extent that he would sacrifice his only son for us. In the bible it also says that Jesus died for mankind's sins because all sinners will not go to heaven unless we put our faith into Jesus so that we will be forgiven for our sins and allowed into heaven. In the Catechism of the Catholic Church it states “The Scriptures had foretold this divine plan of salvation through the putting to death of "the righteous one, my Servant" as a mystery of universal redemption, that is, as the ransom that would free men from the slavery of sin.” To conclude Jesus defeated sin and evil in death by dying on Gods behalf to save man from sin. In the resurrection Jesus defeated sin and evil by telling his disciples to be brave and continue to preach the word of God. By Jesus telling his disciples to be strong and keep preaching, the disciples were able to preach to even more people and make sure more people turned away from sin and evil. An example of Jesus telling the disciples to keep preaching is found in Luke 24:45-49 “I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.” In conclusion Jesus resurrection defeated sin and evil by giving his disciples courage to continue to preach the word of God and goodness. |
