The Man-Savior’S All-Inclusive Death
THE MAN-SAVIOR'S ALL-INCLUSIVE DEATH
We need to see that the Lord Jesus died an all-inclusive death. His death on the cross was not merely vicarious; it was also all-inclusive. Because the Man-Savior is an all-inclusive Per son, on the cross He died an all-inclusive death. Let us now go on to consider different aspects of the Lord's all-inclusive death.
THE LAMB OF GOD
According to the record of the entire New Tes tament, when the Man-Savior died on the cross, He died as seven items. First, He died as the Lamb of God to deal with sin and sins. John 1:29 says, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" Here the world denotes man kind. From 1 Corinthians 15:3, 1 Peter 2:24, and Hebrews 9:28 we see that as the Lamb of God the Lord Jesus died for our sins. Furthermore, according to 2 Corinthians 5:21 and Hebrews 9:26, His death dealt with sin. Therefore, both sin and sins were dealt with by the Lamb of God, who was under God's judgment on the cross.
