What does the death of Jesus mean to us?
In the light of the resurrection, then, the general meaning of his death would be that the vicarious suffering and punishment of the man Jesus has robbed death of its character as judg- ment for human existence, and vindicated the hope of man that reaches beyond death. Thereby he also makes his death understood.
Why did Jesus rose from the dead?
Jesus rose from the dead to transform us, so that we can live out our baptism by dying and rising with Christ (Rom 6:4). This transformation begins with our worship each Sunday, the commemoration of Easter Day in word and sacrament, the day on which we acclaim Jesus as our ‘Lord and God’ (Jn 20:28-29).

What did Jesus actually do for US?
First, it is through Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection that we receive new life.

Jesus would have taken the punishment we deserve, but our hearts and lives would have remained the same.
Why did Jesus have to rise from the dead?
Jesus Christ had to rise from the dead because His blood needed to be applied in order to obtain our redemption from sin. The Old Testament picture of the Passover shows us that it is not just death that is important, but the applying of the blood.
What does it mean that Jesus died for our sins?
The quick answer is that Jesus died on the cross to provide the way for us to receive forgiveness from our sins. The Bible provides many details regarding this sacrifice of Jesus. As we study the Bible, we understand more and more of salvation and forgiveness. When we say “Jesus died for our sins,” we are saying that He died because of our sins.
What was the reason for the death of Jesus?
The death of Jesus was significant because only that death was the complete and final, once for all sacrifice for the sins of the world. “And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all” (Hebrews 10:10).
