[Shinchonji (SCJ) Open Bible]
Why did Jesus bear the cross?

There are two main reasons why Jesus bore the cross.
The crucifixion allowed for the atonement of the sins of men
(Mt 26:28; Ro 6:6-11),
and it allowed God and Jesus to come
and unite with people who have no sin (Ac 2:36-38; Gal 2:20; Ro 8:9-11).
Before the crucifixion, the Spirit had not been given to people (Jn 7:38-39),
but after Jesus was crucified he breathed on people
and told them to receive the Holy Spirit (Jn 20:22-23).
Jesus, right before his ascension, commanded his disciples
to wait for the Holy Spirit that the Father promised to send.
He also said to them to be his witnesses to the ends of the earth
after the Holy Spirit came on them (Ac 1:4-8).
After that, they received the Holy Spirit Jesus had promised
and went on to preach the gospel (Ac 2:1-4).
The Spirit of God, which left people because of their sins,
was able to return to people without sin because Jesus bore the cross
on behalf of his disciples to atone for their sins.
Where does Jesus currently reside?
Let us truly believe by meditating on the following scriptures:

• I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, 
   but Christ lives in me.
   The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God,
   who loved me and gave himself for me. (Gal 2:20)

• On that day you will realize that I am in my Father,
    and you are in me, and I am in you. (Jn 14:20)

• Here I am! I stand at the door and knock.
    If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,
    I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. (Rev 3:20)

• Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts,
   the Spirit who calls out, “Abba! Father.” (Gal 4:6)

• You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit,
    if the Spirit of God lives in you.
    And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,
    he does not belong to Christ.
    But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin,
    yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.
    And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you,
    he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life
    to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you. (Ro 8:9-11)

• For we are God's fellow workers, you are God’s field, God’s building.
   (1Co 3:9)

• Don't you know that you yourselves are God’s temple
   and that God’s Spirit lives in you? (1Co 3:16)

• I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority
   to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded
   because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God.
   They had not worshiped the beast or his image
   and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands.
   They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
   (Rev 20:4, NIV)

According to the scriptures, Jesus resides within us
after he has atoned for our sins.
This is why he bore the cross and it is our hope.
It is wrong to talk about the Bible
if you do not understand it fully and if you are not a Christian.
These people are not qualified to talk about the Bible.
You must proclaim and testify the truth only after receiving the Holy Spirit
that allows you to see, hear, and master the Bible.
You should be thankful that you now know the true meaning of Jesus’ cross,
which we proclaim for our own salvation.
