Significance of the Death of Christ

It was prophesied in the Scriptures

Luke 24:25-26 

25 He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 

26 Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?”

Preached as the Gospel

1 Corinthians 15:1 

Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand.

1 Corinthians 15:3 

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

Heavenly visitors discussed

Luke 9:30-31

30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, 

31 appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem.

Searched by the prophets

1 Peter 1:10-11 

10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, 

11 trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.

Revealed by the Holy Spirit

1 Peter 1:11-12 

11 trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. 

12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.

Angels longed to look

1 Peter 1:12 

It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.

It was God’s eternal plan

Revelation 13:8 

All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.
