Perfectly Executed Hostage Rescue Mission - The Captain of our Salvation!


THE DESCRIPTION OF THE MESSIAH'S WORK
  In Daniel chapter 9, the angel Gabriel was sent to declare and inform Daniel about the certainty of the coming of the Messiah at the appointed time [Galatians 4:4], the glory and sufficiency of His redeeming work that He would accomplish for His people. It was the same message and maybe the same messenger that declared unto Joseph that Mary would bring forth the Son of God to put away the sin of God's chosen people [MATTHEW 1:21]. We know according to the record of scripture when the Lord Jesus Christ was manifested in the flesh, He perfectly performed ALL THINGS necessary to accomplish and secure the salvation of God's elect [PSALM 57:2]. Let's take a close look at the six things mentioned in this scripture; DANIEL 9:24:

1). "To finish the transgression," or to restrain and shut it up. Our Lord said on the cross, "It is finished." He has accomplished a complete victory over sin. By His precious blood atonement our sin has been arrested, taken prisoner and confined. Sin is no longer able to exercise dominion and condemnation over God's sheep [JOHN 10:15; ROMANS 5:20].

2). "To make an end of sins," or to seal it up. Our sins and transgression have not only been shut up, but also everlastingly sealed up. God's infinite justice has been meticulously satisfied by the substitutionary work of Jesus Christ and the blood of Christ has forever cleansed us from all sins [I JOHN 1:7; HEBREWS 2:17].

3). "To make reconciliation for iniquity," or to cover it up [PSALM 32:2]. Our sins had separated us from God [ISAIAH 59:2]. But now through Christ putting away our sin by His blood, the cause of separation is removed [I JOHN 4:10]. Therefore the believer is eternally reconciled to God through Jesus Christ [II CORINTHIANS 5:18]. Every trace of sin has been removed [HEBREWS 10:17].

4). "To bring in everlasting righteousness." Christ Jesus has established, provided and imputed perfect righteousness to everyone that trusts Him alone for salvation [ROMANS 4:6]. He is the believer's righteousness [ROMANS 10:1-4; JEREMIAH 23:5].

5)."To seal up the vision and prophecy." All things that have been written in the scriptures concerning the Messiah and the blessed, redeeming work He would perform; Jesus Christ has fulfilled [I CORINTHIANS 15:1-4]. We have found Him who is the Christ [JOHN 1:41].

6)."To anoint the most holy." Our Lord and Saviour died at the appointed time as God's Lamb [ACTS 2:23], but He was also the anointed High Priest acting as the representative for His people [LUKE 4:18]. Being appointed, anointed and empowered to fulfill all things He did not fail to glorify God and secure our salvation [ISAIAH 42:1-4].

JESUS - Rock of Ages

Jesus remains the same in all ages. He is the One who is constant when everything and everyone else fails. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever; the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. He is our R ock [I SAMUEL 2:2 ] . In the Old Testament, in Exodus 33, Jesus is pictured as the Cleft Rock. In that chapter, verse 18 and following, Moses desired to see the glory of the Lord, but was told, "You cannot see My face; for there shall no man see My face and live.” And the Lord said, “There is a place by Me, and you shalt stand upon a rock: and it shall come to pass, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by." Notice that as Moses stood upon the rock, the Lord hid him in the cleft. This wonderfully applies to us today! Believers are both standing on and hidden in Christ [COLOSSIANS 3:3 ] . We are both in and on the Rock. As life with its many bitter events presses upon us, ...

CHRIST OUR ONLY AND PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS

" The flesh lusteth against the Spirit." —Galatians 5:17 [KJV] Christian experience fully proves this apostolic truth. Hence the children of God cannot do the things that they would: nor have we any authority from God's word to conclude this lusting ever ceased in any of the saints till they got to glory; none are delivered from it while in the flesh. For, as the renewed soul or spirit loves to enjoy spiritual and heavenly objects, so the flesh, or unrenewed part, lusts after those objects it is naturally conversant with, and from which it derives its happiness.  Here is thy conflict, O Christian. Hence the necessity of thy Lord's command, "Watch always." This is the use of the doctrine. What woeful effects have fulfilling the lusts or desires of the flesh produced in eminent saints! Thou standest by faith, be not high-minded, but fear. The conceptions of lust are the productions of sin.— see James 1:15 . The commission of sin contracts fresh s...

GLORY ALONE IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

" Lest Israel vaunt themselves against Me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me." -Judges 7:2 [KJV] Thus the Lord reasoned with Gideon. He knows what is in man. He sees the pride of the human heart: how prone we all are to boast in an arm of flesh. The Lord is jealous of His own glory. Gideon’s army of two and thirty thousand, is brought down to three hundred. By this handful of men, and no more, did Gideon gain the victory of the Midianites. The Lord’s wisdom in this was, “Lest Israel should vaunt themselves, and say, Mine own hand hath saved me.”   But I have not transcribed the text right. There are two little words of great import, which I have omitted. Mind then, O Christian— against Me. Now remember, whenever thou dost boast of thy power, thy free-will, thy human goodness, thy works, ditties, conditions, and performances in order to be saved, thou art then, as it were, two and thirty thousand strong. Thou vauntest thyself against the Lord . Thou art gloryi...
