Chris.
The Law of the Old Testament was strong and clear. Those people who heard the man blaspheme the Name of the Lord and curse were to lay their hand on his head, then he was to be stoned to death. Jesus Christ was punished by death sentence on the Cross for us so that we might be forgiven and freed from our sins. He then, remarkably, rose from the dead to give us New and Eternal Life.
