The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum What was Christ's greatest sacrifice?

Interesting that you would emphasize the active obedience. This past Sunday, I led a worship service and I spoke on redemption. I spoke on why we needed a redeemer. The only one that was able to redeem us and why, and what the benefits are that we received from our redemption.

I made a point of showing that Christ had to be fully obedient in His humility. We sometimes think that His obedience was just in His active outward obedience, but He had to be obedient in the inner man also. For me, that boggles my mind, especially since those who He sought to do good were only out to destroy Him. My thoughts would have been far less than holy in that situation. It required complete obedience in order to be the perfect sacrifice, otherwise as you pointed out, we would still be dead in our sin.
