Question 35: Did Yeshua die spiritually on the cross?

Question 35: Did Yeshua die spiritually on the cross? Answer: Yes, Yeshua did die spiritually on the cross. By “spiritual death” we mean separation from God the Father.

God With Us Always

by

Reflections God With Us Always I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (John 14:18) I am with you always. (Matt. 28:20) These are not merely sentimental promises meant to stir emotions. Rather, they are concrete promises of God based on the reality of Christ in us. The idea that God is floating around, comes and goes, is with us one day, and far away the next, is contrary to the Truth. We may FEEL like God is that way, but the Truth is not determined or apprehended by how we feel. Indeed, even if we feel …
