Jesus Christ Is The Sin Bearer
Good Mornin, Well,I had a good weekend .It was a cold one here in The Bottoms.But my weekend was great spent with my granddaughter and famly.Ive watched Sophie grow from a small baby to a beautiful 10 year old young lady who loves JESUS. I wish I could slow her down ,because shes gona be growed up and wont wana hang out with pawpaw and mawmaw. I have a few more years till then and Im gona enjoy her every minute. Lets get to the message for the day. Jesus Christ the Sin Bearer
Matthew 26:26-27
The cross is so common in our culture that most people don’t think twice when they see one on a church. But unfortunately, familiarity with the symbol can actually get in the way of understanding what it truly means. So let’s stop to consider how Jesus became the bearer of sin.
We begin with Scripture written long before Jesus was born. Genesis, the first book of the Bible, explains how man chose to disobey God. Because Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, their descendants are all born under the curse of death, having inherited a sinful “flesh” nature.
In Leviticus, God’s laws for the Jewish nation included observance of Yom Kippur, the day each year when the Israelites fasted, prayed, and sacrificed an animal to atone for sin. In essence, the goat would bear the wrongs done by the people and suffer the penalty that divine justice required.
Centuries later, Isaiah prophesied that a Savior would atone for transgression once and for all (Isa. 53:5, 8; Heb. 7:27). After another 700 years, John the Baptist identified Jesus as the Lamb of God who would take away the sin of the world (John 1:29). The Messiah had come, though He was totally different from what the people expected—so much so, in fact, that they rejected Him and requested His crucifixion.
In all, God gave 613 laws through Moses. But none of us can perfectly follow even the Ten Commandments. In fact, one reason He gave us these rules is to show us our need for a Savior (Ps. 19:7; Gal. 3:24). Meditate on those commands (Ex. 20:1-17), asking God to speak to your heart.God Loves Yas,,, We Love Yas,,, Your Friend In Christ ,,, Have a Blessed day,,, From The Riverbottoms ,,,Ron ...Prayers for you all { MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!!!}
