The innocent for the guilty – 2024.11.09

Mark 15:13-15 (KJV)
13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

Jesus Christ came to save what was lost. “Luke 19:10 (KJV) For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”. Everyone is lost because of sin. “Romans 3:23 (KJV) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”. There is no person that never missed the mark. We all inherited sin right from Adam’ sin passed on through the seed of man. “Romans 5:12-15 (KJV) Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: [13] (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. [14] Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. [15] But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.”. The consequences of sin is death, spiritual separation with GOD and physical death. “Romans 6:23 (KJV) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

But as we see here GOD made a way for everyone to be saved through Jesus Christ. He was not of the seed of man but of the Holy Spirit. “Matthew 1:20-23 (KJV) But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. [21] And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. [22] Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, [23] Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.”
Jesus Christ was born sinless, not polluted by the fall of man and while on earth never sinned. Jesus Christ was totally innocent and paid for the guilt of everyone. “Mark 15:26-28 (KJV) And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. [27] And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. [28] And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.”.

Because He was not polluted by sin death could not hold Him down. He defeated sin and death. “Mark 16:6-7 (KJV) And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. [7] But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.”.

Jesus Christ is the answer to humanities demise. “Romans 5:8 (KJV) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
“Romans 5:21 (KJV) That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Jesus Christ did what no none else could do. He paid the price for our sin. If we do not believe and act accordingly we need to pay the price ourself which means death, and everlasting separation form GOD in hell.
“John 3:16-21 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. [17] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. [18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [19] And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. [20] For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. [21] But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”

Therefore be encouraged today to believe in Jesus Christ, call on Him for your salvation.”Romans 10:9 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” And “Romans 10:13 (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”. When you decided to believe then seek out others who believe, start learning what Jesus Christ taught, start reading the bible especially the gospels in the New Testament and follow Him.
