Iniquity Laid on Christ JESUS

“ All we like sheep have gone astray; we have  turned every one to his own way; and the  LORD hath laid on HIM the iniquity of us  all.” -Isa iah 53:6 [KJV] We trust Christ our risen Savior who died on the cross to put away all our sins. All our sins, not one omitted, were laid upon Him, and He died under the justice of God’s law for us. He became accountable for ALL our sins (sins of omission and commission), all our evil deeds, thoughts, and motives, all our iniquities were “laid on Him.” When He died, did He put ALL our iniquity away, or did He leave part of it to be borne by us? Praise God, HE PUT IT ALL AWAY BY HIS ONE SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS! How can we know this for certain? HE IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD! We trust Christ, “ Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification” (Romans 4:25). By His experience on the cross in His actual suffering the full punishment due unto all the iniquity of all His sheep, He brought in the rig

THE FINISHED WORK, part II

My friends, when the Lord Jesus is truly seen, believed, and loved, there will be joy in the Lord with genuine peace of conscience. Yes, we are sinners; but Christ died for sinners! Yes, the law condemns; but Christ honored the law! Yes, justice has a claim; but Christ satisfied that claim! Yes, we are imperfect in faith, in commitment, in love; but "He know eth our frame; He remember eth that we are dust" and loves us all the same. We are in Him by HIS CHOICE, redeemed by HIS BLOOD, called by HIS SPIRIT, and kept by HIS POWER, through faith which HE GAVE US! How can I entertain any doubts based on shortcomings found in me when the whole affair is THE LORD'S DOINGS? -Gospel report by preacher Henry Mahan -see Psalm 103, vss. 1 – 14 [KJV]

THE FINISHED WORK

When Moses had set up all the furnishings within the tabernacle and hung the curtain at the court gate, Exodus 40:33-35 says, "So Moses finished the work. Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. " Moses, a mediator appointed by God for Himself and the people, pictured Christ and the work of redemption that He accomplished on the cross. There, as the real Lamb of God, He poured out His life's blood on the heavenly mercy seat and cried out for all to hear, "It is finished." When the tabernacle was finished, "the glory of the L ORD filled the tabernacle." Moses and all the people were not able to enter the tent because the glory of God filled it. This teaches us an unchanging truth. The glory of Christ in all things, especially in sa
