Ques: How was the claims of justice to be met? Ans: The devil had the authority of death, and death is meant for sinners, so the devil through his wickedness has to violate the laws of justice by destroying him who knew no sin 1 peter 2:22. Christ manifested in the flesh, lived amongst men but never was sin found in him. Heb 4:14. He conquered death and grave. The strength of sin is the law and the sting of death is sin 1cor 15 vs 54-57 Ques: Why was Mary chosen? Ans: She was only favoured, any other virgin could have been chosen.

On earth, he was 100% man, but after satisfying the claims of justice and defeating the host of hell, he took up his celestial body, but ascended bodily in his terrestrial body. Glory!!!!!!!!!!!!. Ques: Why did he manifest in the terrestrial body? Ans: Man has been a slave of his senses, soulish, Gen 2:7, he came to present himself in sense realm, but with a message of faith that we should get out of the sense realm, and accept salvation by faith. He rebuked Thomas for being a slave of the senses. John 20:27. Ques: Why did Jesus who is a creator submit himself to the baptism of John a creature? Ans : Baptism signifies death and resurrection and since he is to be the firstborn from the dead Col 1 vs 18, he needed to complete righteousness in the realm of senses to save man.

Mattew 9:13 Thirdly, to make us know that while on earth, he could forgive sins, but in heaven, he is the advocate Luke 5:24 and Hebrews 4: 14-16 Ques: Why then do we still need to pray? Ans: In the spiritual realm, there is light and darkness, the forces of darkness have received a judgment and they have a short time to unleash wickedness, they hate man with perfect hatred. We need to pray, to bring their activities in our lives to nothingness. As we pray, we engage the forces of light on our behalf. Luke 18 vs 1-7. We need to pray in Jesus name!. We also pray to remind God that we are still subjects in his kingdom and that we believe his promises. Ques: Why do we need to ask for forgiveness if Jesus died for our sins? Ans: God is not committed to forgive a sin that is not confessed and forsaken; the devil and his host will readily use the sin that is not confessed to accuse us in God's presence. We need to engage Jesus as our advocate. Heb 4: 14-16. Que: What happened after Jesus left the cross? Ans: He FIRST went to paradise {there is no more paradise, only kingdom of God}to meet the Old Testament saints, i.e. Moses, Abraham and others who were waiting for the kingdom of God to fulfill the old covenant.

Ans: He LEFT paradise and proceeded to hell as he had met the claims of justice COLOSSIANS 2:15 gives a description of what happened in hell. He humiliated death and the host of darkness. He had to complete the assignment by being raised so that we are justified Romans 4:25. He carried his blood live into the Holy of Holies so that the supreme court of universe could accept as our justification. Mary could not touch him until he finished all these John 20 vs 16-17.
