What killed Jesus

     God didn't die on the cross but He did experience death, albeit His Flesh did die. How then did God experience the toll of death? God in all His "aspects" was nailed to the Cross: Mind, Body, and Spirit. His only "Person" - Jesus - was who died but God in totality experienced death.

     Jesus felt as if God had abandoned Him as he was dying, "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me" (Mat 27:46). God had not; Jesus was quickly losing virtue and felt as if God had left Him. How is that known? God will never leave nor forsake us (Heb 13:5). God with all three of his aspects suffered death on the Cross. Mankind heartlessly murdered God out of ignorance. They saw only a man on the Cross, but failed to see that they were killing God. Jesus even said, "They know not what they do" (Luke 23:34).

     Jesus's purpose was described in John's revelation: "The leaves of the tree (of life) were for the healing of the nations" (Rev 22:2). For now, take my word for it, Jesus was the Tree of Life in the Garden, and now stands in the Paradise of Heaven. (For further reading see my blog on that subject at https://kentuckyherrin.blogspot.com/2013/10/whatever-happened-to-tree-of-life.html).

     Jesus died to heal the nations, specifically the world that he so loved (John 3:16). How did Jesus heal? By his goodness. It was sufficient to compensate for all the evil in the world. Jesus took all the sins of all time (1 John 2:2), even future ones, and disposed of them in Hell.

     David, according to Paul, "spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption" (Acts 2:1). Yes, Jesus visited Hell for us but only to dispose of our sins. Not his body, but his Ghost visited Hell as "his flesh did not see corruption." When did he visit Hell" Between the time that he "gave up the ghost" (Mark 15:39) and the time he was resurrected. 

     The Holy Spirit experienced death on the Cross with Jesus, and the Father observed His own demise from above and with was him since God is omnipresent. Jesus's thoughts on the Cross was cognition in the mind of God who realized that His creatures were destroying their Creator. Talk about agony!

     Jesus went to the Cross with the perfect Mind of God and the Holy Spirit of God. When Jesus died, he was transformed from life into death, and God's Spirit was transformed into the Ghost of Jesus as "ghosts" are disembodied spirits. Jesus testified to that, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost" (Luke 23:46). Furthermore, John clarified how that could be:

(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) (John 7:39).

     Death released the specific Spirit of God dwelling in Jesus, and the departure of Jesus's Spirit became Jesus's Holy Ghost. As Jesus was transfigured on the mountain before, his Spirit was transfigured on the mount of Calvary. As Comforter, the Ghost of Jesus delivered the sins from the sacrificed body of Jesus unto Hell. That comforted mankind because we no longer had to carry the burden of sin.
     Jesus didn't die because of the beatings, nails, humiliation, or even the heat and piercing! What killed Jesus? He lost all his virtue in becoming the sacrifice for all mankind. In his agony the night before, was when he sweated blood for us all (Luke 22:44). His agony did not cease until his Holy Ghost deposited those sins on the shoulders of Satan, cowardly hiding in Hell. God didn't die that day; Satan suffered a vicarious death as his son - the unrepentant thief - died in his place. With the crucifixion and power of God, Satan was as good as dead. That took all the virtue from Jesus and he died drained of power. Examine that contention from scripture:

She (woman with a blood issued) felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? (Mark 5:29-30).

And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. (Luke 6:18-20)

     With the woman, Jesus felt virtue leaving him. When all those with unclean spirits were healed, a tremendous amount of virtue left him. Think about the healing of the nations - the entire world; all the virtue drained from Jesus, he felt abandoned, and died. But only his flesh died; his Ghost left him and with the power of God, carried all the sins of mankind off to Hell. When he was finished with his task, Jesus, in the form of his Ghost, reunited with his body, and merely walked through the walls of his tomb. The resurrection was the reunification of God's Flesh with God's Spirit - Jesus got his Ghost back, only to release him later on!
     In Acts chapter one, Jesus ascends into Heaven. In Acts chapter two, the Holy Ghost of Jesus returned to continue the miracles and to reside in the souls of men which had been too impure previous to God's death. Just as Jesus's Body and Ghost will be reunited, because his was, the rapture of Christians - the living and the dead - is a reunification of their bodies with their ghosts. That's because those who have the Spirit of God within them, live on in Heaven as ghosts.
    God's Plan is so simple if we only consider Jesus. Because we were made in the image of God, we are much like Jesus. The biggest difference being that He Is God, and we only think we are gods. Regeneration is abandoning that false notion! It's all so simple!
