Jesus Does Not Punish Sinners With Death

“And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, 
and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 
For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, 
lest his deeds should be exposed. 
But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, 
that they have been done in God” 
(John 3:19-21).

Jesus is the light of the world; He has no darkness in Himself. 
He is the source of our life. 
He is the creator of life and not of death. 
He said in the Gospel of John, chapter eight, 
“I am the light of the world. 
He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, 
but have the light of life.” 
(John 8: 12).  

Jesus does not punish man for his sins, but He came to free us 
from the bondage of sin and death that the devil, our enemy, 
has enslaved us with. 
Death and darkness are the devil’s work. 
We read in the book of Hebrews, chapter two, 
“Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity 
so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death, 
that is, the devil, and free those who all their lives were held in slavery 
by their fear of death.”
(Hebrews 2:14-15.)

Jesus said that the devil is the one who murders. 
We read in the Gospel of John, chapter eight,
 “He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, 
for there is no truth in him.” 
(John 8:44.) 
So Jesus did not come to condemn us, but to save us. 
All evildoers hate the light lest their deeds should be exposed, 
but we are the ones who formed our destiny. 

God the Father loved us and sent His Son to our world 
to save us from the power of sin 
which leads to our death, “
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, 
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, 
but that the world through Him might be saved.”
(John 3:16-17).

Jesus’ life destroyed death on the cross. 
He confronted all evil works of hatred, 
rejection, unfaithfulness, cruelty, etc. 
He took our death and gave us His resurrection. 
He gave us this overcoming power over death. 

We are the ones who have chosen the ways of the devil 
which led us to death. 
Death is both cause and result of missing the way 
and of being separated from the life of God. 
God is immortal and the only source of immortality. 
Losing the unity with Him in His Son Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit 
is the cause of sin and death. 
So death is not a punishment of God: it is, rather, the result of man's failure
to live up to his destiny of participating in God's immortality. 
Death is the primary manifestation of separation and alienation from God;
it is also our main source of bondage and the driving force behind individual sins.  
May we all receive Jesus’ life in the Holy Spirit 
and live in His light, love, and peace. 
Amen.
