Understanding the Cross

The cross .... How the religious world has exalted the cross above the Truth. Here in Canada every religious building pretty well has a cross on its highest point so that any who look at the building know its a so called church.

When you enter the building most of the time you will be greeted by a cross and most sermons teach that Jesus the Christ went to the cross to take away our sins.

COUGH COUGH .... LIE!

If the teaching concerning the cross as taught by pretty well most religious buildings was true I guess the Apostle Paul must have missed it when he by the Spirit said--->I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!

So the Apostle Paul wanted to KNOW Christ .... Now that word know is a Jewish idiom for sexual intercourse between a man and a woman. In lay man terms the Apostle Paul wanted to have "intimacy" with Christ so that he would also partake in the resurrection FROM the dead.

Let us look at what the cross truly means and see the Truth that SHALL MAKE US FREE!

Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. John 2:19

Bless Father for His Truth is what we must live on for it is the Word of life. Now the three days of transformation Jesus spoke about regarding his building of the TRUE Temple, was the death (1), burial (2) and resurrection (3).

YET, For most Christians, all they see in the cross is a sacrifice for the sins of the world, but this was not the LAMB OF GOD dying there. for, we are told in scripture that the LAMB of GOD was slain FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD (Rev 3:18)!

The word “Foundation” means = “The Casting Down.”

So the Lamb of God was slain when man took the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden, and continues to be slain whenever man violates the nature of God, even to this day.

Let us see Deep that Jesus the Christ on the cross was MADE TO BE SIN FOR US (2 Cor 5:21), who knew no sin (mortality), so that WE might be made the righteousness (rightness, correctness of thinking ... Gen 1:26,27) of God IN HIM.

So now let us see how He was “Made to be sin” for us?

The Scriptures tell us, “The first man, Adam, became a living person.” But the last Adam—that is, Christ—is a life-giving Spirit. 1 Cor 15:46

He was “Made to be sin” by dying as the LAST ADAM who is the MAN OF SIN!

You think there is another Adam? I think NOT!

Jesus the Christ died as the LAST of that Adamic race of people who came OUT of the MAN OF SIN. For Truth be that, “IN ADAM ALL DIE,” and their death was in Jesus the Christ who was made TO BE THE MAN OF SIN (ADAM), and so DIED AS THE LAST ADAM.

See Jesus the Christ did as He said "....I lay down my life ...." in the Garden of Gethsemane, He took upon Himself SIN (mortality)! NO ONE COULD HAVE TAKEN HIS LIFE ..... NO ONE!

Not ANY army or any amount of men. He laid His immortality down for if He did not do that He could NOT DIE. However, in laying down His immortality, He became as us (mortality) and took that SIN (mortality) to the cross and upon the cross SIN was nailed to be seen by ALL!

After He placed His spirit in Father's hand into the grave went that SIN.

We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. Romans 6:6

G L O R Y!

In that tomb was placed the body of sin and Christ rose from the grave. I tell you that body of SIN NEVER CAME FORTH.

That is the Truth of the cross!

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin (mortality) of the world. John 1:29

I tell you there is one common thing in this world that ALL humanity faces and that IS DEATH!

They don't die because of some thing religion labels as sin. BUT, They die because they live out of the BODY OF SIN!

The Apostle Paul DID NOT WANT TO LIVE OUT OF THE BODY OF SIN!

For Truth reveled unto the Apostle that in "...sharing in his death, so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!"

BLESS FATHER.
