Covenant between God and Israel The covenants were made between God and Israel in the past ages when other prophets tried for the betterment of the people of this nation. Those covenants were not as obeyed as they were expected to be. The Israelis remained disobedient towards those covenants and the people of Jerusalem were not able to act according to the will of God. The prophets before Jesus were saved due to their faith and the people were called sinners by law at that time. But God sent many prophets so that the nation will come to the righteous path after all. When Jesus was born then there was a new hope for the people of Jerusalem and they were to be blessed with a new opportunity to …show more content…
Like the sins who were punishable before were still punishable but the false sacrifices for example when it was said to sacrifice the firstborn of the family and for the cattle (Exodus 22:29-30), this was no more valid. So the new covenant was closer to the humanity than the last ones and it was made by Jesus.

The news spread and a trial was held for him and the Roman Judea gave him death penalty. He had realized at that time that he couldn’t go away from that He was agonized in the garden for three hours and it was not witnessed by a lot of people but it has been mentioned in the gospels that came afterwards. He was tortured and mocked by the temple servants and he was hurt with sharp blows and there was a crown of thorns on his head. This was done by the roman ruler, so that the Jews will be satisfied by seeing him in such pain. He suffered all of this because he was a prophet of God and a true believer who was not afraid of these worldly punishments, and he knew that all is done by the will of God
