 And so, Jesus did not say He will give his life as a sacrifice for many, He said : He will give his life as a ransom for many, Therefore , it is not possible that Jesus was both sacrifice and a ransom, similarly it is not possible for him as both a shepherd (ransom) and a lamb (sacrifice). Do you follow? I am sorry to say this but your answers truly prove your ignorance. Can't Jesus be both sacrifice and ransom? When he gave his life for for us, isn't that sacrifice? Giving your own life to others is an act of sacrifice. On the other hand, he also served as ransom, why? When he took the punishment which is supposed to be rendered for us, sinners, isn't that an act of redemption?
