The Case for Christ Student Response #7

In the first term of this school year my grade 7/8 class has read The Case for Christ: Student Edition by Lee Strobel. At the end of the study of the book each student was asked to answer one of the questions posed in the chapters of the book. I told that I would be sharing their responses online. So, throughout the rest of the year I will be posting their work. Please note, I have not edited these responses, they are exactly what the student handed me.

Did Jesus really fake his death!!!!!!

The main question is how could Jesus really fake his death because in the book it said that Jesus got whipped with a whip that had bones attached. It also said that when the whip got embedded to the skin it makes the skin rip and tear. Then they put a big crown on his head that was with thorns and they pressed it on his head and he was bleeding. And then they made him carry a big cross and also they nailed him to the cross. Did you know that the nails were about 7-9 inches and they nailed him in his wrists. He also couldn't fake it because it really hurts and there was a lot of people and there was roman soldiers watching him die and the bible said that when he was dying red blood came out and water. So  how could Jesus possibly  fake a death when he had to go through this many punishments for us.

Why would Jesus fake his own death

Jesus is God’s Son and God sent him to die for our sins so why would Jesus fake his death if he knows that he is going to be risen in three days.

And if Jesus didn’t die for us we would be in hell because Jesus died to save each and everyone of us he went through the pain for us. It said in the bible that every drop of blood was every sin that we all committed.
