The Lessons of Lent: He Bore our Sins

The Lessons of Lent: He Bore our Sins

It is clear that within the period between Jesus's death and resurrection, He visited paradise. He had made an appointment with the repented thief on the right hand.

[My Offline Bible] Luke 23
42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

But Jesus was carrying our sin. He was made sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him 2Corinthians 5:21. Isaiah said the Lord laid on Him the iniquity of us all. 1Peter 2:24 said that He bore our sins in His own body on the cross.

He also bore our sicknesses and diseases, He was also carrying all our sorrows and troubles so that we can be healed and have a peaceable life. All was on Him as He was pinned to the old rugged cross by the power of God's love beyond the roman's nails.

He had cried, 'Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' Mathew 27:46...As He, for the first time through eternity, sensed the absence of the Father from Him, God who couldn't behold iniquity... The Spirit of Christ in prophesy wondered why God the Father held His tongue as the wicked devoured a righteous man in Christ.

[My Offline Bible] Habakkuk 1
13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?

God, Himself had to make the sacrifice of a momentary separation from His beloved Son so that He could carry our sins and the repercussion of sin into the abyss.

So Jesus with the sin of mankind, yesterday, today and tomorrow headed to hell and deposited the sins of the world, the sicknesses, the sorrows and all the troubles and maladies into everlasting torments where they rightly belong.

Having deposited all that and was now free, He headed to open the way of the Holiest to those that were waiting for our perfection to be perfected and moved paradise to the presence of God where He too would dwell with the saints.

[My Offline Bible] Hebrews 11
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: 40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

With Him going to hell for us we won't have to go again so long we refuse to go fishing for the sins already dumped into the ocean of forgetfulness.

He has removed our transgression from us as far as the east is from the west Psalm 103:12, and entered into a New Testament/Covenant with us never to remember our sins and iniquities any more...Hebrews 8:12, Hebrews 10:17 because now, He had appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself once for all Hebrews 9:26...

The New Covenant with a provision for God's law to be put in our minds and written on our hearts was then made with us Hebrews 8:10, 10:16...Jeremiah 31:31-34

What's left than to rejoice in faith as we receive the reason why Jesus died for us in full!

Our sins are forgiven and taken away forever. There's therefore now no condemnation or guilt for our past sins, and no reason to be guilty in advance for a sin yet to be committed. There's no reason to fear if we might commit sin, so long we remain in faith that our sins are taken away and the capacity to continue sinning is destroyed through the Lamb of God who took away the sins of the world...

Mankind can now stretch forth its hands of faith to receive total forgiveness and deliverance from the power of sin and it's guilt in order to live in righteousness, holiness and confidence without the fear!

Our sins are taken away, we are free and shouldn't be entangled again by the power and guilt of sin...not by our power or strength but by faith in what Christ did!

Good morning!
