JESUS THE CHRIST

Sep 23, 2015

Matthew 16:13-18

13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar–jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

SEVEN STATEMENTS OF CHRIST ON THE CROSS 3

Sep 13, 2015

Lu 23:43 . “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

This statement of Christ on the cross gives the best of hope even to the worst of sinners. When the thief on the cross, believed In Jesus Christ and called upon the name of the Lord, his sins were instantly forgiven, he was reconciled to God and assured of eternity.

This is how powerful the cross is

The joy of our faith-confession is that, Jesus has given us a promise to it. He calls it ASSUREDLY. In other words there is absolute certainty in the future of the believer. We cannot toy with our future. It is therefore extremely dangerous to follow any faith, religion or movement that does not give that level of certainty. There is no room for ‘Had I Known’. We cannot gamble with our eternity.

It is only Christ Jesus, who throughout Human history has been able to give that level of certainty for our future in eternity. Indeed when a person accepts Jesus Christ, in genuine repentance and confession of faith, there is an immediate assurance of eternity.

We only need to live on the confession of our faith.

Indeed, Christ in you is the hope of glory

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: (Colossians 1:27)

Today if we hear the voice of the Spirit calling and we do not harden our heart and we surrender to the Lord, when Jesus comes we shall meet him in the air and shall be with him forever. Hallelujah

What singing there will be up there,
What singing there will be up there,
When face to face with Jesus we shall stand,
And join the heavenly choir in the better land,
What singing there will be up there,
What glory for the saints to share,
Oh glory, glory, glory,
What singing there will be up there,

Seven statements of christ on the cross 2

Aug 24, 2015

STATEMENT 2

Mr 15:34 … “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

The second ‘crossing’ or exchange that took place on the cross was in the statement “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

Christ on the cross was forsaken so that we shall be reconciled to God and accepted by HIM. Jesus, the beloved Son of God, was forsaken on the cross, because looking down on the cross God could see “one carrying the sin of the whole world’. The scripture states that

‘He himself bore our sins’ in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; ‘by his wounds we are healed’ (1Pet 2:24 NIV).

He was made a sin offering and hence appeared a sinner, even though he had no sin.

It is by grace, through faith in Christ therefore, that we are saved. In Christ we have full acceptance and access to God. Glory! Our sins were not only forgiven on the Cross, but we have FULL acceptance in Christ. For just as through the sin of one man (Adam) we all became sinners and were separated by ‘default’ from God, so also through the obedience of One Man ‘Jesus Christ’ we have full acceptance with God (1 Cor. 15:22)

Sometimes it’s a bit intriguing how we easily identify with the sin of Adam and admit that we are sinners, irrespective of our righteous deeds, but unable to believe that we have been made righteous in Christ Jesus and hence full acceptance by God, irrespective of the sins we had committed.

Indeed, it is not because of the sins we committed that we were made sinners, rather it was because we were sinners (through Adam) that we committed sins. In the same vain it is not the good we have done or are doing that makes us righteous and accepted by God. It is rather because we have been made righteous and accepted by God, through our faith in Christ who was forsaken, that we commit acts considered righteous by God.

Praise the Lord, for the Lord is our Righteousness. May we walk in the boldness of the Lord our righteousness and not live in the guilt of the sins of the past. May we enjoy the liberation from the power of sin on the Cross, and burst in the glory of the Lord our righteousness

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Philippians 4:8)

SEVEN STATEMENTS OF CHRIST ON THE CROSS 1

Jul 22, 2015

STATEMENT 1

Lu 23:34 .., “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” …

This statement reflects the heart of the loving Son of God. He eternally declares forgiveness to as many as looks unto him on the cross, where His blood was shed. For without the shedding of blood there can be no forgiveness.

It is only through the power of the cross that a man can have all sins washed away. The death on the cross proclaims forgiveness in Christ for Past, Present and Future sins.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness(1 John 1:9)

Through the cross and the powerful statement of Christ on forgiveness, Jesus has become our advocate. No matter what sin we have committed, there is room for forgiveness if we genuinely confess our sins to the throne of grace.

1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:1-2)

Therefore, it is important we take God by His word about forgiveness, when we genuinely confess and repent of our sins. We should not allow the devil and our mind to deceive us into thinking that we have not been forgiven. FORGIVENESS IS NOT RECEIVED BY FEELING FORGIVEN, IT IS RECEIVED BY FAITH. Indeed when the Lord forgives he completely forgets about it. Not believing and receiving forgiveness is in itself UNBELIEF

This however does not give room for willful sins.

26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries (Hebrews 10:26-27)

Indeed he that is born of God does not continue to sin. The practice of sin is therefore not our portion, for it is written:

“But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God” (1 John 3:8-10, NLT).

Let us therefore walk in the Light of Christ forgiveness. So just us Christ has forgiven us, let us also learn to forgive one another, no matter the sin or offense against us. Forgiveness means ‘IT HAS NOT HAPPENED’

THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS

Jul 20, 2015

The Fall Of Man.

At the Garden of Eden were two trees: The tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the Tree of Life.

What caused the fall was that man ate the fruit, which hanged on tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This was the tree that man was barred from eating. Eating of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil produced death in man according to the scriptures. So man’s pain and death all began with the eating of the fruit, which hanged on the tree.

The result of the fall is as follows:

Loss of the glory of God which was their covering (Ro 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,(NKJV). Hence, their nakedness was exposed.
Separation from God and loss of opportunity to live forever, coming under the control of death Gen 3:22
Came under curses Gen 3:16-19
Loss of dominion which they exercised and were expected to continue to exercise(Gen.1: 26-28) and their position in the garden (Gen 3: 22).
Gave a foothold to the devil. The serpent was to bruise man’s feet Gen 3:15

The Hope For Man

However, when the fullness of time had come, life anew also began with the eating of the fruit of life, which hanged on the tree (the cross).

So when any man eats of the Fruit of Life, in Christ Jesus, he or she would be assured of life eternal.

The sure way according to the scriptures is to believe on Him who hanged on the tree, even the son of God, our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
