THIS IS MY BLOOD SHED FOR REMISSION OF SINS - PART FIVE

This is my blood shed for many for the remission of sin. As often as you eat this bread and drink this wine, you do show forth the Lord’s death. The apostles divided the wine among themselves.

God is not the author of confusion. Let all things be done decently and in order. Moses lifted up a bronze serpent in the wilderness which had been secured to a pole, thereby securing healing to whoever would gaze upon it. So, likewise JESUS, that He also would be lifted up on a pole that whoever should look upon Him could also be delivered from whatever bondage engulfed them!

Let's consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession Jesus, who had taken upon Himself to take on a lower fashion in appearance than that of the Angelic Hosts.  Angels cannot die. Jesus in order to redeem man from His fallen estate would if He were to save man have to taste death for every man, (the Just for the Unjust). He was to fulfill the determination of that which had already been predetermined before the very foundation of the earth. That  is He, the Lamb of God, would be delivered into the midst of wicked men and be slain, thereby achieving opportunity for the lost to have redemption. In other words, He Himself taking away the sin of all those individuals who call upon His Name - "JESUS"

He, God Himself as a son conceived of the Holy Spirit (as a child) to be veiled in sinful flesh , thereby enabling the predetermined counsel of God to be manifest, He was in the world and the world was made by Him as John recorded. Further, John states that his hands handled of the Word of Life.

Abraham had it revealed to him that in his seed would all the nations of the earth be blessed. That seed of blessing was the seed of the Holy Spirit JESUS. Like Simeon of old, who upon seeing Jesus in the temple as a babe, adopted a prayerful attitude before God saying, “Now let your servant depart in peace for my eyes have seen your salvation."

There was none righteous, in God’s eyes. No, not one. Therefore, God Himself made a way. The Creator God Himself as a son would become man's Saviour. He came to sacrifice Himself. He offered His own flesh. which had been capable of sin but had not sinned. Instead, He walked in the Spirit accomplishing His Father's business. He became a propitiation for sin. His own blood, the blood of the Holy Spirit to be shed once and once for all. As a consequence, there is no more or other sacrifice for sin. JESUS, the only priestly mediator presenting Himself to the world was sacrificed, causing the veil of the temple to be rent in two from top to bottom. He did so that we who believe in Him can now come boldly to God’s Throne of Grace. As such, we become redeemed by God Himself as a son! Therefore, who would dare to say that this sacrifice was inadequate?

Christ died for our sins. Yes. And He arose from death for our justification. Peace in Jesus name!
