Life and Sacrifice of Jesus

GOD-JESUS, CAME-VIRGIN BIRTH, LIVED-SERVED, DIED-SACRIFICED, AROSE-LIVING & ASCENDED-HEAVEN (Revelation 1:18)

Let's write the date, for example 8th October 2008 A.D. (After the Death of Christ). If you go back over 2000 years ago, it was B.C. (Before Christ). So why don’t we find out why the ages past, present and future are based on the life of Jesus Christ on this earth, from the history of the world and from the Bible.

He was the Majesty of Heaven (1 Chronicles 29:11), but in the divine plan He descended (Ephesians 4:10), from His high and holy estate to take the form of man (Hebrews 2:9), so that divinity might touch humanity (Ephesians 3:9). And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory (1 Timothy 3:16).

The greatest miracle of all was the virgin birth of the divine Son of God (Matthew 1:20-25), Jesus Christ who existed from eternity(Colossians 1:17), who is equal with God the Father(John 10:30), who is God Himself(Deuteronomy 10:14) who created the world and man(Isaiah 40:28; 43:7), now takes on a human form in preparation for the greatest act of all time (Luke 2:11), the rescue of man from the clutches of Satan, on the lonely hill top of Calvary (James 4:7).

In His youth Christ was submissive unto His earthly parents (Luke 2:51), an example of obedience to all youth. He learned the trade of a carpenter (Mark 6:3).

From the purity and holiness of His life (John 19:4), Christ flashed the light of truth (John 8:12) amid the moral darkness with which Satan had enshrouded the world(Romans 5:19). By taking upon Himself man’s nature in its fallen condition (John 3:16), Christ in the least did not participate in its sin (John 8:46). There was not a drop of bitter woe which He did not taste, not a part of the curse which He did not endure, that He might bring many sons (and daughters) to God (Hebrews 2:10).

He was subjected to the infirmities and weaknesses of the flesh with which humanity is encompassed, and yet He was without a spot (Hebrews 4:15). That which Christ had specified would be His work was fulfilled (Isaiah chapter 53). The sick were healed (Matthew 14:14), demoniacs were restored (Matthew 8:16) lepers and paralytics were made whole (Matthew 9:6). The dumb spake (Matthew 12:22), the ears of the deaf were opened (Mark 7:37), the dead were brought back to life (John 12:1) and the poor had the gospel preached to them (Matthew 11:5).

The entire life of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, from the cradle (birth) in Bethlehem's stable Luke 2:15-16),His mission Luke 4:18-19), His death on the cross(Luke 23:46), His resurrection(Acts 4:33) to His ascension from Olivet(Acts 1:9-12), was a demonstration of God’s true love. It was a revelation, to the entire universe of the extreme interest heaven takes in humanity(Isaiah 45:22).

Through the struggles and agonies of the last night in the garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36-39) and His death upon the cross (Luke 23:33), Jesus Christ rescued the human race from the cruel hands of Satan (Romans 5:8). This is the time, just now give Him your heart and life and accept heaven’s power (Luke 18:29-30) to live a happy, peaceful and useful life, now and for eternity (Revelation 3:20 & Jude 21).

Laminins are cell adhesion molecules. They are what hold one cell of our bodies to the next cell. Without them, we would literally fall apart. Amazing, the glue that holds us together is in the shape of the cross. And now we see that from a very LITERAL standpoint, we are held together one cell to another by the cross. Jesus sacrifice on the cross holds us together with God. - Please see Colossians 1:15-22.& Wikipedia.

When Jesus rose from death to life, the napkin that was about his head, was not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself (John 20:7). The folded napkin meant, "I'm coming back!" – Please see John 14:1-3.

• HINDHUISM - The meaning of the word ‘Prajapati’ (the Lord of all creation) is fulfilled only in Jesus.  Prajapati is called Purusa, the Man of perfection. (Purusasukta, Rg Veda 10: 90: 1-16). ‘Yajur Veda’ 32:4: “Purvoh jatah Purusah” which means one who is born in the beginning. The Sacrificial Man should be closely tied to the sacrificial pillar (Sathapathabrahmana 3.7.3.1). The blood of the Sacrificial Man should be shed, according to the Vedas. The Sacrificial Man should return to life after the sacrifice. (Brhadaranykopanisad 3.9.28.4, 5). Click Here for More
