Revisit (2 min.): Revisit someone who has shown an interest and accepted a Memorial invitation (th lec. 6).
PUBLISHER: Good morning, nice to meet you again, how are you doing?
HOUSEHOLDER: Well, everything is normal, and you?
PUBLISHER: All good anyway, as I mentioned the other time when I left you the invitation to the commemoration, we left pending the question about why Jesus had to die, is it a good time to do it?
HOUSEHOLDER: Sure, of course.
PUBLISHER: Well, as we know, Jesus was a perfect, good and just man, but in spite of all that he had to die. Could it be that his death had a specific objective?
HOUSEHOLDER: Well, for the forgiveness of sins I believe.
PUBLISHER: Exactly, the death of Jesus serves to obtain the forgiveness of sins, but also for what the Bible mentions in Matthew 20:28, please read it.
HOUSEHOLDER: Sure, he says...
PUBLISHER: Thanks, based on what you just read, why did Jesus have to die?
HOUSEHOLDER: To give his life as a ransom, what do you mean?
PUBLISHER: Well let's give an example, if a group of people are held hostage against their will and for them to be released, what is usually required?
HOUSEHOLDER: Normally a ransom is demanded.
PUBLISHER: Correct, only in this way can many people be liberated instead of one, the same happens with the death of Jesus, it served as a means of rescue for all humanity and obtain forgiveness of sins, even that opened the door for us to obtain eternal life, shouldn't we be thankful for Jesus' rescue?
HOUSEHOLDER: Surely yes.
PUBLISHER: Good, but how can we show that we appreciate the sacrifice of Jesus? What do you think if another day we also see the answer through the Bible?
HOUSEHOLDER: Sounds good to me, I'll be waiting for you.
