Jesus is the sacrificial victim who pays for the sins of the world. Only an innocent victim can pay for the sin of another and only God Himself can pay for the sins of all. The statement goes on with… that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures and that he appeared to Cephas (Peter) and the twelve. This is a statement of faith about who Jesus is. The followers of Jesus declared: Jesus' deity Jesus' death Jesus' resurrection These are the fundamentals of biblical faith and they are at the heart of everything Jesus taught, Jesus has done and Jesus is doing and they are everything the Scriptures proclaim.
