Jesus said that by reason of your teachers, you do greatly err. Why? Because believers in Jesus the Christ by faith have not taken the time to seek Jesus. And, as a consequence, these same believers are not familiar with the scriptures. How do we know this? Because in the first chapter of Acts, we learn that the Holy Ghost had not yet been given because Jesus had not yet ascended. Indeed, Jesus had not yet been crucified, buried, and resurrected. It was only when Jesus was resurrected and glorified that His holy Spirit was poured out into believers' innermost being.
We also know from studying His Word that the Holy Ghost is our Comforter. He leads and guides believers into all truth. It is the holy Spirit of Jesus that brings all matters of recollection to believers' minds. In other words, whatsoever was said by Him when He walked among men on earth would be similarly taught to those of us who believe in the promises of God.(CHRIST IN YOU)
God who previously was on the outside has now taken permanent residence into the innermost being of the believer. When someone asks Jesus into their life, Jesus becomes an integral part of the believer's body, now cleansed, by the pure shed blood of His holy Spirit. This refers to a new bloodline and not an Adamic blood line - see earlier posts. This new blood line, which flowed within the veins of Jesus -- the conceived child and seed of God’s holy Ghost -- veiled within a sin prone body taken from Mary. His surrogate virgin mother’s sin prone body.
It is here that the Spirit of God was clothed with sin prone flesh enabling the manifestation in the flesh of God as a Son. Jesus' flesh now capable of being tempted, tried in all points and yet not succumbing to sin's temptations.
So in reality, Jesus was not guilty of any crime, even though He was submitted to satanic justice. Still, He placed Himself into the hands of sinful men to be crucified. God transferring and laying all our demerits of sin upon Himself. Note again however that Jesus NEVER sinned. It is recorded in the scriptures that in Jesus death, JESUS died -- the JUST for the UNJUST that He might bring us back to God.
In other words, the King of kings shed His precious blood for you and I.
It is also stated in the scriptures that when the fullness of time was come, then God would send forth His Son. At a time when darkness covered the face of the earth, and gross darkness covered the eyes of the people, satan and his demonic hordes had taken the upper hand. In this context, men had no hope. One and all were deceived by the religious leaders that abounded at this time. People were reduced to trampling the grapes whilst others drank the wine. Many of us could compare these former times with today's entitlement mindset.
But in the dead of night when not one hope was in sight, then God sent His Son. Indeed, His only begotten Son to rescue His earthy image and likewise man, from their captivator satan.
Right from the get go, satan hastened to defend his kingdom of wicked darkness, appearing as light. It is no wonder that Jesus asked that if the so-called light that is in you is in reality darkness. If so, then how great is that darkness? But I digress.
The good news is that God is about to open a can of worms. God's eye is on the sparrow. He is watching you. He cares for you. His hand is not short that He cannot save. Neither is His ear heavy that He cannot hear you. In fact, He is attentive to our cry. He proved His love on a cross, when He willingly shed His precious holy blood for us.
Unfortunately, since that time, satan had obscured the truth. Wolves in sheep's clothing have made themselves at home within the religious system. They keep people busy doing good works so that they don't have time to be silent "and know that I am God." These same believers don't have time to study the scriptures, such as a workman does, so that they can become ministers of the good news gospel of Jesus Christ.
Add to this the worldly constructs (in which the world also expects us to subscribe) and we miss the inherent message -- Jesus sets us free. The result? Sadly, a diabolical mess. The powers that be present another God, of which we should note that our forefathers fled when they came to the New World. We recognize their actions through the motto -- In God we trust.
God's name for this dispensation of grace? Jesus the Christ. The only name under heaven whereby we must be saved. Trust in your Lord God and Saviour today. Fill your heart with His Word. Believe in His goodness and love with all your soul, heart, mind and strength.
"So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation." (Hebrews 9:28)
The only good news message that matters. Stand in the offering plate.
