About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"JESUS DID IT ALL" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
HAVE YOU EVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT JESUS WENT THROUGH ON THE DAY OF HIS CRUCIFIXION? LET'S JUST LOOK AT A FEW THINGS. HE KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE BAD. LOOK AT WHAT HE SAYS IN MATTHEW 26:39 O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." AND IN VERSE 42 "He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done." AND VERSE 44 SAYS "And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words." HE KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE BAD AND HE PRAYED THREE TIMES TO LET IT PASS FROM HIM UNLESS GOD REALLY WANTED HIM TO GO THROUGH WITH IT. GOD DID AND JESUS WAS OBEDIENT BECAUSE HE KNEW HE WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH WITH IT TO REDEEM US.
WHEN WE THANK HIM FOR OUR SALVATION, WE DON'T REALLY THINK OF WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT. 1ST PETER 2:24 SAYS "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." WHAT DOES IT MEAN HE BORE OUR SINS IN HIS OWN BODY. HE DIDN'T JUST TAKE A LITTLE SAMPLE OF THE SINS FOR THE WHOLE WORLD, HE BECAME SIN FOR THE WHOLE WORLD. HE TOOK THE SINS OF THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE, FOR ALL TIMES, INTO HIS OWN BODY.
SOME PEOPLE THINK 1ST PETER 2:24 IS TALKING ABOUT SIN WHEN IT SAYS THAT BY HIS STRIPES WE WERE HEALED AND NOT SICKNESS BUT LOOK WHAT ISAIAH PROPHESIED IN ISAIAH 52:14 WHERE HE SAYS "His visage was so marred more than any man, and His form more than the sons of men." JESUS' SINLESS BODY WAS CORRUPTED WITH SIN AND ALL OF ITS UGLY RESULTS, SICKNESS, DISEASE, ETC. NO WONDER HE ASK GOD TO TAKE IT FROM HIM. AS IT SAYS, "HE WAS MARRED MORE THAN AND MAN".
DID YOU NOTICE THAT THIS VERSE PUTS HEALING INTO THE PAST TENSE? IT SAYS "by whose stripes ye were healed." HE HAS DONE HIS PART AND NOW IT IS UP TO US. HE HAS PROVIDED OUR HEALING AND WE HAVE TO EXERCISE OUR FAITH AND COMMAND IT TO BE MANIFESTED IN OUR BODIES. I AM GOING TO USE HIS POWER IN MY LIFE, HOW ABOUT YOU?
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
