The Greatest Love Story Ever Lived, So That You And I Could Have Abundant Life In Jesus - Part 2777

"Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which He hath purchased with His own blood." (Acts 20:28)

The Lord said, |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 Lord Jesus being the Bread of life' the Light of this world;  the Living Water wherein if ye drink, ye shall never thirst again. This is why Jesus could say that He is the resurrection and the life. 

"I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man comes unto the Father but by Me!" (John 14:6)

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. (Hebrews 2:5-6)  Angels cannot die. Thus. in order for Jesus to redeem man from His fallen estate. if He were to save man from their sins, He would have to taste death for every man, (the Just for the Unjust). In other words, He was to fulfill the determination of that which had already been predetermined before the very foundation of the earth was formed. 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 essence, 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 Ghost (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 but the world knew Him not. (John 1:10-11) Further, John testified that his own hands handled 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."

The bottom line is this. There was none righteous in God’s eyes. No, not one. Therefore, God Himself made a way of salvation for you and I. The same God who created us in the beginning - He Himself as a son would become man's Saviour. He came to sacrifice Himself. He offered His own flesh. which had been incapable 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 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!
