The Gospel from different perspectives || Perspective 3: "The Tragedy of Humanity" || Evangelism || 2025 || 2082

 

Tragedy of Humanity?

Everything has to be left behind — no matter how much we work, build, or achieve, we all leave this world empty-handed. The one who toils endlessly and the one who avoids work altogether share the same end: death.

This sobering truth leads us to one conclusion — no human effort can escape this tragedy.

But if there’s someone who truly avoided the tragedy of death — not just delayed it, but overcame it — then He alone can show us the way through it.

And here’s the good news:

Such a person has existed.

He came fully in human form — walked our path, felt our pain, faced our temptations — but lived without sin. His name is Jesus.

Why did He die then, if He was sinless?

Because we are not.

We sin knowingly and unknowingly. And the Bible says, “The wages of sin is death.”

If God started repaying us according to our sins, we'd be wiped out — helpless and hopeless.

But in love, God made a plan. Jesus, the holy and sinless One, chose to die on our behalf. He bore the consequences we deserved.

A sinner dying only receives the punishment for their own sin.

But a sinless man dying can take on the punishment of others — if He willingly accepts it.

That’s what Jesus did.

He took the blame, the guilt, the punishment — so we wouldn’t have to.

But it didn’t end there. He rose again!

Death couldn't hold Him because sin had no claim on Him.

And now, He lives — leading us not only away from death but into eternal life.

So who else could show us the way through death, except the One who conquered it?

Who else could lead us, the blind, except the One who sees clearly?

Who else could give us life, except the One who defeated death?

This is why believing in Jesus is not just a good idea —

It’s the only way.
