1. Original Sin, part 68, Salvation through Faith, part 3
The Bible relates that Jesus, while painfully dying on the cross, cried out
with a loud voice, “Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit!” (Luke 23:46)
Despite his suffering, Jesus seems to have been at peace. He had dedicated
his life to God, and this gave him a sense of equanimity, even while
enduring torture at the hands of the Romans.
We all want this sense of peace, because we know that life involves
suffering and that death awaits us all, sooner for some than others. Yet, we
also want to serve the desires of the flesh, and this often conflicts with
our desire to be at peace and harmony with the rest of creation. Jesus, as
described in the Bible, was perfectly focused on his divine mission. Though
we cannot fully emulate his life, we can take comfort in recalling from the
story of the three temptations that he had the same desires as we have. The
Bible describes Jesus as fully human in his desires, which means that we
humans also have the capacity to transcend selfish and hurtful desires and
dedicate ourselves to serving others.
Many Christians believe that God saved Jesus because Jesus had faithful
trust in God. While this formulation might be true, there is another
way in which Jesus was saved. We learn from the Bible that Jesus, by
choosing a faithful, God-centered life, was saved from a sense of despair
that can accompany the pains and sorrows of human existence. Jesus found
direction, purpose, and meaning in life by serving God. We, too, can serve
God by loving and caring for everything that God created. In this way, we,
too, can be saved by the faith of Christ.
