Topic:Crucifixion & Resurrection
RKS Spiritual father
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
As we all know that we are the reason for CHRIST's crucifixion and resurrection. GOD created heaven, earth, mountains, seas, animals and man. The Heaven, Earth, Mountains, seas, animals all obey GOD and they never rebel against GOD. The only one who rebels against GOD is MAN whom GOD loved more than everything else, whether in Heaven or on this earth. Even devil could not rebel against GOD directly, but indirectly through HIS Children Adam and EVE and also through every one in this world.
Genesis 3:4 You will not surely die, the serpent said to the woman.
GOD's WORLD is MAN because GOD created Man for GOD's Pleasure in HIS Amazing Love and in HIS IMAGE. GOD did not have problems with Angels rebelling against GOD because they were not created in GOD's IMAGE but they were created for GOD's Purpose. Lucifer, Mighty Angel of GOD which became satan, could not harm GOD even by rebelling against GOD but MAN destroyed GOD's IMAGE, GOD's CREATION and tried to destroy GOD's PURPOSE.
MAN'S REBELLIOUSNESS AGAINST GOD
Man destroyed GOD's World by disobedience and by rejecting GOD and was himself fell out of GOD's Presence. What Satan could not achieve directly with GOD, it has achieved through Man, whom GOD loved so much and created HIM in HIS OWN IMAGE.
GOD had/has so many great plans for man and HIS WISDOM who can understand and it is limitless. GOD became helpless because of us, HIS LOVE is not limited for us. GOD had no options to save Man from Hell. Can you imagine THE ALMIGHTY GOD HIMSELF, who spins the world on his finger and who sees from the beginning to the end, did not have an option to save Man.
Who has affected GOD, is it Satan or Man? We know that the one who is being loved more can hurt more. Who can hurt more whether a assistant in the office or a son at home. Satan was just an assistant to GOD.
Genesis 6:5 The Lord saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time.
6. The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth.
Man is GOD's SON, still today Man is GOD's SON because of HIS LOVE for us. GOD does not change and HIS LOVE does not change for us because GOD is the same yesterday, today and forever.
SEPERATION FROM GOD
Adam & Eve rebelled against GOD and forced GOD to throw them out of GOD's PRESENCE. Man was created from dust and within no time man went back to dust, the earth.
Genesis 3:23 So the Lord God banished from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.
GOD'S LOVE FOR US IN HIS CREATION
GOD did not have any option except GOD HIMSELF paying the price for us. Angels were not worthy and could not die for our sins and saints of GOD who lived on this earth were not worthy to die for our sins. The Man became so sinful and Price was so high that GOD only could pay it. If you have some debts, that debt may not be so high that some other person could pay for you, a rich man can pay for you or a bank can pay for you but for man's sins there was no option except GOD HIMSELF, we can imagine how great was our sin that the HOLY GOD had to pay HIMSELF.
1 John 4:9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only son into this world that we might live through him.
10 This is love: not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
DESTINED TO HELL
Because of our sinfulness and man destined himself to Hell. GOD did not destine man to hell and GOD did not create Hell for Man but for satan, man forced himself to hell by rejecting GOD and HIS KINGDOM. In order to save man from Hell and to bless him with Eternal Heaven, which was GOD's purpose in creating man. We need to understand that no one can destroy GOD's purpose for our lives, not satan or man. If the created beings can be so sinful, then GOD shows HIS HOLINESS and the POWER in HIM. No one should be worried about bad results or powerful opponents because our GOD is GREATEST and ALMIGHTY and SOVEREIGN. Our LORD JESUS CHRIST defeated our greatest enemy Satan already on the CROSS.
Hebrews 2:14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death- that is the devil.
15 And free those who all their lives were held to slavery by their fear of death.
GOD'S AMAZING LOVE FOR US
In GOD's AMAZING LOVE for us, HE HIMSELF came down in FLESH as our SAVIOR and LORD JESUS CHRIST (EMMANUEL: GOD WITH US). With this we can understand that GOD loved us more than HIMSELF, HE did not hesitate to give HIS life for us, sinners who rebelled against and crucified by mocking, cursing, spitting and piercing HIM.
GOD gave man mouth to PRAISE HIM but man used it to curse and spit on GOD HIMSELF. GOD gave hands to WORSHIP HIM but man used it to mock and pierce HIM. But GOD still loves us because GOD is LOVE and GOD can only LOVE us because we are created by GOD with LOVE, not by HIS HANDS. GOD's LOVE was with us, is with us and will be with us irrespective of how sinful you are or how great sins you have committed. It does not matter to GOD because HE LOVES YOU as YOU ARE. Your own husband or wife or children or parents would not come to you if you have a contagious disease but nothing can stop GOD LOVING us. GOD LOVES US MORE THAN HIMSELF.
1 John 3:16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.
The question here is: DO WE LOVE GOD MORE THAN OURSELVES? Why not, if HOLY GOD can take our sins on HIS HOLINESS, can't we leave our sins and like GOD and HIS HOLINESS.
What is there in Sin that man loves it so much? Certainly it does have GOD in it.
LORD JESUS CAME HERE TO PAY OUR PENALTY for our sins and for all the sins of the world because every one on this earth is created by the MOST HIGH GOD. LORD JESUS shed HIS precious BLOOD, the HOLY BLOOD was shed for the unholy. LORD JESUS showed us to love even our enemies by loving us, when we rebelled against GOD and became HIS enemies.
LORD JESUS came down to this earth leaving all HIS HEAVENLY GLORY to save us from hell and bless us with HEAVEN. When we are used to live with some comfort in life, it would be very hard for us to downgrade our comforts but how much more it would have affected our LORD JESUS CHRIST to live on this earth, full of dirt and sin?
John 1:14 The word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only, who came from the Father, full of Grace and truth.
LORD JESUS not only saved us from Hell, THE LIVING GOD who was supposed to punish us eternally, saved us from Hell and HE is so happy to give us Heaven and many rewards. What makes HIM to do all good for us, ONLY HIS LOVE.
Our sins were so dirty that only the BLOOD of JESUS could clean us and purify us from our sins. LORD JESUS tasted the death because we were in bo***ge and in the hands of death. LORD JESUS tasted death to set us free from the chains of death. And HE rose again on the third day by defeating the satan on THE CROSS to set us free from the hands of satan and to give us life, eternal life.
Mathew 28:5 The angel said to the women "Do not be afraid" for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
6 He is not here; he is risen , just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
When LORD JESUS died on the CROSS for our sins, HE rose on the third day. Before HE rose on the third day, LORD JESUS CHRIST provided the purification for our sins, HE entered the HOLY PLACE of HIS FATHER with HIS OWN BLOOD. This HOLY PLACE, no one can enter because it is SO HOLY, only THE PERFECT LAMB OF GOD. We can never be able to enter this HOLY PLACE as we will be expelled from THE HOLY PLACE because LIGHT expels the darkness. But now we can enter into THE HOLY PLACE in JESUS NAME only because of our SAVIOR and LORD JESUS CHRIST provided the purifications for our sins.
Hebrews 1:3 The son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
Not only this, our LORD JESUS LOVE is ever increasing, HE even went to the people in prison in Heavenlies and preached to them, the people who died at the time of Noah because of flood. GOD gave one more chance for people who died before before CHRIST crucifixion and resurrection to believe in HIM, THE TRUE GOD.
1 Peter 3:18 For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put in death in the body and made alive in the spirit.
19 Through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison.
LORD JESUS rose again on the third day and HE showed HIMSELF as a testimony to HIS disciples and to this world.
1 John 1:2 The life appeared we have seen it and testify to it and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and appeared to us.
Our WONDERFUL SAVIOR LORD JESUS CHRIST ascended to HEAVEN to prepare mansions even when we pierced HIM and crucified HIM and when we are not at all worthy. That is the LOVE of our GOD for us.
In the journey of our life, the only thing that makes GOD to have MERCY and COMPASSION on us is HIS LOVE and we can be safe and blessed in HIS LOVE when we also LOVE HIM, irrespective of our unfaithfulness, disobedience, rebelliousness..... At the time of falling, the ONLY THING that holds us with GOD is our LOVE for HIM. LOVING GOD keeps our New Covenant not broken with GOD.
1 John 4:7 Everyone who loves has been born of GOD and knows GOD.
Let's THANK GOD for HIS GOODNESS and MERCY and COMPASSION and FORGIVENESS and BLESSINGS in our lives.
