Very dear and beloved of Lord God Holy Scripture says, every one (we ) know that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23) (Genesis 3:8, 23), & for the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Our loving God Jehovah could not see human dying, so He chalked out a programme to redeem human from the clutches of sin (Isaiah 53:1-12). Through His prophet He explained His programme. He said “for the forgiveness of sins of world, I am sending my only son in the form of a human. He will manage & perform & complete this programme of salvation of human. I am going to put the entire burden on Him.
For into us a child is born, into us a son is given; & the Govt. will be upon His shoulder, and His name will be called wonderful, counselor, mighty God, everlasting father, prince of peace (Isaiah 9:6).
And when the time came, an angel of the Lord God came to Joseph (husband of (holy virgin) named Mary) and said, “she will bring forth a son, and you shall call His name ‘JESUS’ for He will save His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21)”. Lord God said, “He will take all your burden of sins, punishment of iniquities On Himself”.
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one, to one’s own way: & the Lord has laid on Him the iniquities of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth (Isaiah 53: 5-7).
And when Jesus Christ was just to shed His blood on cross, He told His disciples, “For this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins (Matthew 26:28)”. And He was nailed on cross to die. Blood flew from the wounds in head with thorns; Blood flew from the wounds in hands and feet with nails: Blood flew from the wounds in back by 39 strips.
Who himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we having died to sins might live for righteousness! By whose stripes you were healed (1st Peter 2:24).
Isaiah 53:7
He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth.
Isaiah 53: 9
He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth. He did nothing for which he could be punished.
Isaiah 53: 12
He poured out His soul unto death, and He was numbered with transgressors, sinners, criminals; and He endured the sins of many & Prays for forgiveness of sinners.
So under this program of forgiveness, Jesus came on earth in form of a man and gave Himself for crucification as ransom/sacrifice. He was beaten, He was spat on mouth, He was slapped, He was crowned with thorns on His head, but He bore all silently. He was nailed to cross. (Matthew 27:27-35).
(Hebrew 9:22) …And according to law almost all things are sanctified, purified with blood. And without shedding of blood there is no remission, no forgiveness of sins. For this He took our sins, our iniquities (Isaiah 53:11). So we are sanctified by the blood of Jesus flowing from the cross for which therefore, “Jesus suffered outside the gate, that he might sanctify the people with His own blood” (Hebrew 13:12).
So Paul says in 1st Corinthian 1:18 for the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is power of God.
In fact our sins have separated us from our God, and our sins have hidden His face from us. Genesis 3:8 tells the love of God, that Lord God Jehovah used to come to see Adam & Eve daily. He walked with them & talked with them. Until the sin entered in their life, they talked with Lord God; they could see, & they used to see His face. They waited for Him, for His call, and when Lord Jehovah called them, they would have come running to God. But when sin entered in them, they hid themselves from their Lord God! (Genesis 3:8 & Isaiah 59:2). And something happened horrible. A wall of separation stood among them & their loving God. They had to leave their house, Eden. To break this wall of separation, Jesus had to shed His precious blood (Matthew 27:51). In Corinthians 15:1-4 Paul says, “brethren I declare the gospel to you which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you, unless you believe in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received, that according to Holy Scripture Christ died for our sins; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures”.
And Holy Scripture tells in 1st John 1:7(b) that the blood of Jesus His son cleanses us, sanctify us from all our sins. Then what shall we do now after remission.
“What shall we do? Shall we continue to sin? No we should walk in newness of life, knowing this that our old man was crucified with Him. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal bodies, sin should not dominion over you (Romans 6:1-2). And one thing to remember that after remission of sins, if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains any sacrifice for sins (Hebrew 10:26).
Colossians 3:1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. Lord God reconcile the broken relationship (with men) (Colossians 1:20 & matt.27:51) by giving the punishment of men’s sin to Jesus as described in Isaiah 53:5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.
So now because we have been washed & cleaned through the precious blood of Jesus flowing from the cross, we have to listen to the voice of Lord our God that is, “Be Holy and keep yourselves Holy, you shall be Holy because I, the Lord your God am Holy” (Leviticus 19:2, 20:7, Matt.5:48, 1 Peter 1:15-16).
The great thing Lord Jesus done is that being in great pain, nailed mercilessly on the cross, He did not remember His pain, but He was praying for those who tortured Him & nailed Him on cross. He prayed for them because He Himself forgave them (23:34). Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.
And Jesus did this and says to His followers, “I give you a new commandment that you love one-another, as I have loved you” (John 15:13 & 13:34). And His love for us is that He gave His Life for us. He himself took our sins on His body on cross so that we may die from sins and live a righteous life. By His stripes we are healed.
So dear in Christ when we have been given such promises, let us wash ourselves in our bodies & spirit from all kind of evils, sins and be Holy in His Holiness (Leviticus 19:2, 20:7, Matthew 5:48, 1st Peter 1:15-16).
So we see that cross of Christ mean to forgive sins, evils, trespasses done against us. Jesus bore the death on cross and forgave all who crucified Him. Scripture says that let this mind be in you which was in Christ. Mind of Jesus is seen in Luke 23:34. He forgave and prayed for those who had beaten Him, insulted Him & put Him to death.
Today for us the message of Christ is that we should forgive our trespassers, who sin against us, who tease us, who do evil against us in the likeness of Christ our Lord, our redeemer (and as we claim in Lord’s prayer). And believe that one day every evil-doer will repent over his each evil and feel ashamed on his work. And one day hate shall disappear from human life. And love of God shall dwell in every heart, every mind, than even earth shall be a paradise.
AMEN.
