The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

[Paul, writing to Christians @ Corinth, 1 Cor. 15:1-4]

Luke 23:15

Title: He has done nothing to deserve death


The Lord Jesus was not only innocent as charged, but he was also not guilty of violating any provision of the commandments or Roman civil law. Under the interrogation of pagan leaders who could smell and feel the presence of evil intent and who were evil to the core, this became evident as his person exuded the power and command of a spotless life, even in his moments of silence.


From a religious court to a Roman hall of justice, his witness before his accusers and the authorities who had power to hand out verdicts of innocence or guilt was the embodiment of the righteousness that breathed the heavens and the earth into existence.
