What Jesus Did!
First Jesus lived a sinless
life as a man, being temped in every way (pride, rebellion, disobedience) yet
not giving in to sin, but giving us victory over The Law.
In the garden He took upon
Himself and defeated our rebellion by praying and exercising, “Not My will but
Yours’.”
At Caiaphas’ house, at
Herod’s palace, and at the Roman Praetorium Jesus took on and defeated pride,
arrogance, and vengeance by not defending Himself, by not striking back, by not
correcting, but He exercised humility before men and submission to GOD’s will
delivering us from the power of pride.
Before Pilate He proclaimed His
Kingship then allowed Himself to be traded in exchange for a sinner (Barabbas).
On the whipping post He took
all of our infirmities, sicknesses, and diseases, providing us with healing and
health.
On the road to Golgotha He
allowed someone to serve Him, Simon of Cyrene helped carry His cross. Showing
His humility and need for the Body (Church).
On the cross He showed mercy
and gave forgiveness to the thief who asked for mercy as a sinner. He provided
a care giver for His mother, John. He took upon Himself the sin of every person
that had ever lived, that was alive at the time and that would ever be born.
And, by this He was separated from His Father for the first and only time in
all of eternity.
He died and went to hell
where He took upon Himself the judgment and punishment of every persons’ sin.
There He proclaimed His LORDSHIP over all of creation and defeating every work of the
devil proclaimed Salvation to the dead. Leading the righteous in the
resurrection He rose from the grave giving us the victory over sin and death by
taking the keys of death and hell.
He revealed Himself as the
Risen Savior and sent us the Holy Spirit to comfort, counsel, and instruct us.
He then ascended to the right hand of the Throne of GOD seating us
with Himself to rule and reign with Him for all eternity.
