- We see Jesus here as </span></span></span><u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">truly</span></span></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
Son of :man as well as Son of God. As Son of :man He is facing a

almost impossible to go through with it. </span></span></span><u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">This</span></span></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
is a death not envisaged or understood by Mel Gibson in his “The

physical death, but a death of the spirit, the second death. In
Isaiah 53:9, the Hebrew literally reads, </span></span></span><b><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">“And
he made his grave with the rich in his </span></span><u><span style="font-style: normal;">deaths</span></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">.”

“Death” is </span></span></span><u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">plural</span></span></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">,
for Jesus died twice. First he died spiritually when God placed upon
Him the sins of the complete Adamic race. When He </span></span></span><u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">became</span></span></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
sin, the world went dark; the Father turned His face from His Son -
and the Son cried out, “My God, My God, Why have you forsaken Me?”
No other human being except Jesus the sinless Son of :man and Son of
God will </span></span></span><u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">ever</span></span></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
go through what </span></span></span><u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">He</span></span></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
went through for us. He literally died in His spirit at that point.
</span></span></span><u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">Cursed</span></span></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
is every man that hangs on a Tree - the Cross!.</span></span></span></font></p>
