The ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ is a pretty big deal to Christians. How can you worship him without knowing what it meant?
What it means long term to Christ in relation to how it effects the relationship with the Father.
Again God Gave His only Son... If this statement ment that God gave his son to be nailed to a cross to only be resurected the 3rd day, and after which it is business as usual then indeed what is the big deal? What I am saying or asking is what is indeed the cost of God giving His only Son? It is appearent that Christ was resurected, and plays the Role of the final judge of the world and set at the right hand of the Father, but for eternity future what does it mean for Christ? Is He still considered God? Or has all of this cost God the Son His title? and he has (for our sake) been demoted to something other than God the Son? Was this the price of our freedom?
Some will conjecture Yes and Some will conjecture no, Neither is the point of what I am saying. What I am asking/saying is that we do not know what it cost God/Christ to be our sin sacerfice. So to say Christ died for us big whup." Is foolishness, because again we do not know nor are we told the complete extent of Christ's sacerfice.
