The MESSAGE of the CROSS:
"SIN" , SEPARATED the world (HUMANITY) from GOD.
The consequence of "SIN" is "DEATH"!
DURING the CRUCIFIXION of Jesus, He became the "SIN".
Jesus suffered the "DEATH" for US!
Before Jesus DIED on d’ CROSS, He cried, "My God! My God! Why have You FORSAKEN me?"
The cry of Jesus,"Why have You ’FORSAKEN’ me? ", was a proof that there was a "SEPARATION" .
The CRUCIFIXION was a "SEPARATION" between the 100% GOD and 100% MAN, w/c is JESUS CHRIST.
It was a "SEPARATION" of Jesus as GOD (100% Holy) and MAN (100% sinner).
a. The "SEPARATION" was a REVERSAL of God’s JUDGEMENT for MANKIND. Jesus became the "SHOCK ABSORBER" of God’s JUDGEMENT(WRATH/PUNISHMENT) .
b.The "SEPARATION" have to FULFILL the PROMISE of God that He will never "FORSAKE" nor LEAVE us.
C. The "SEPARATION" proves that the world (HUMANITY) was RECONCILED God.
CONCLUSION:
----------Jesus said just before His "DEATH", "IT IS FINISHED!". Meaning, "PAID IN FULL ".
----------God wants us to RESTORE what the DEVIL tried to STEAL from us w/c is "SHALOM" .
"BELIEVE that Jesus DIED for your SINS.
You will RECEIVE your ’SHALOM’ if you ARISE and POSSESS it!
Jesus paid your "SHALOM" in "FULL".
BY FAITH, WE ARE DECLARED RIGHTEOUS and the BLOOD of Jesus SHUT the mouth of the ACCUSER!
DECLARE it to the DEVIL, "NO WAY DEVIL! The "SHALOM" is MINE! JESUS PAID IT ALL!"
"And this is My COVENANT with them," says the LORD. "My Spirit will NOT LEAVE them, and neither will these WORDS I have given you. They will be on your lips and on the lips of your children and your children’s children forever. I, the LORD, have spoken!" Isaiah 59:21(NLT)
