No matter how many times I have read the book of John, it has never come as alive to me as it did last night when we were watching a word-for-word movie of the book of John. My head was spinning so much trying to comprehend the teachings. We didn't get to finish watching the whole thing becaus it's just over 3 hours and we didn't have that much time last night, but we will finish watching it some time. A question was asked of me a few minutes ago, though: "If Jesus wasn't crucified by man, would He have died anyway?" I responded with "Yes, because He was fully human, and as humans, we die." I was then met with the statement, "But d.e.a.t.h. is the penalty for sin." What are your thoughts?
