October 25, 2015 - Exalting the Suffering Servant (Is. 53:10-12)
Okay. Isaiah chapter 53 verse number 10 the Bible says yet.
When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed he shall prolong his day. And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. He shall see the travail of his soul and shall be satisfied by his knowledge. Shall my righteous servant justify many for he shall bear their iniquities.
and it's not going to be
I tried.
continue on inverse number 11 verse number 12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the Great? And he shall divide the spoil with the strong because he had poured out his soul unto death and he was numbered with the transgressors any bear the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors for I pray that you would open our eyes to behold wondrous things out of your word. I pray the Lord that you would help us to be moved this morning and all of what Jesus has done for us. I understand this is such a familiar passage of scripture in many ways that there's probably not much that I can bring that would be new to our mind this morning, but Lord, maybe I can challenge us to think in a way that perhaps we have not looked at before maybe we can look at it in a different light, but Lord, I pray that you would help us to not leave here. Okay with how we have how we have treated your son Jesus Christ in in all that he's made available for us and how we have so fallen short of of claiming what he's done for us on Calvary, Florida Power and moving now. I pray that you would remove all distractions from us that we would come before your word that Lord you hide me behind the cross that Jesus would be lifted up and magnify. Help me Lord. Help me. I pray in Jesus name. Amen. Amen a story that will talk to you today back in the in the depression. This story came came to the service afterwards in and it's really is based off of chapter one. We're going to go. Look at that later on. I will take you to Ephesians later in the message Lord willing, but this is this is a story that's about insurance the most people the Great Depression followed and out of those Hard Times. However came a story which has a strange ending desk. She sought an insurance office in Minneapolis. She was asked what she wanted. With trembling hands she took from her well-worn person old policy and explain regretfully that she was unable to meet the current premium what little she did it was hardly enough to close feed her and keep a roof over her head after quick investigation. The clerk recognized that the policy was very valuable. He warned she was making an unwise move to stop payment. Did not her husband have anything to say his policy. made out to her at her benefit explained My husband oh, he's been dead for 3 years. She remarks sadly. Immediately the company officials went into action. They soon discovered that she was indeed telling the truth what she didn't understand was that the policy was her husband's in that. She was the beneficiary of his dad. They were overpaid premium plus the full amount for which the husband had ensured his life in her favorite. The money was sufficient to keep her in Comfort the rest of her life. Hey, listen, no the greatest of all time. And when Jesus Christ died on the cross, I mean the benefits that we get from from what he did for us or unspeakable unimaginable and I just wonder how many thousands of people continue just trying to make payments on their own salvation or even their own sanctification in except take this gift just claimed that are there waiting for you through Jesus Christ. Through his death burial Resurrection in every sense of the word Our Savior and he has done something that only only he could do for it to become the beneficiary of God's life insurance policy for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son John 3:16 and Jesus came he died on the cross so that you and I might have forgiveness. I don't know where that story came from. The source is unknown, but it does present a valuable Truth for us today. Does it not Now I trust that, you know, the Lord is your savior that you know, I'm not going to assume that anyone is saved. I hope that there's a time in your life where you can remember when you pray and Trust in Christ the Savior, but I also know that I'm talking to some folks today that's already taken that step. Let me challenge you just the same. You know, we go through life everyday and the grind and we can get so weary in the toil and then the effort of just trying to trying to make it through the day or whatever your day may look like have you claimed the benefits the grace of God has given for you? Oh, yeah. I did not say for sure. But if you done it today. Council for the grace of God and I wonder how many times I would walk up to the counter and say well I just can't I just can't keep making these payments and counter would say you're crazy. Don't don't you understand. You're the beneficiary of this you don't need to do that because Can we claim the vent the benefits as we look at this wonderful passage of scripture? We see the Victorious Ministry of the servant King now, we're continuing our study and Isaiah and maybe want to go back in and look at some of my previous notes and things before remember the services that we had together for those who are new and you haven't been using the word Messiah. You won't find the word Messiah In this passage, but he describes what the servant will look like what he's going to do when he comes in his ministry that he has and in this ministry that the servant is prophesied by God all these thousands of years before Jesus Christ even came in and from where we are looking back.
victory and we are on our side as the song says we sing that hymn what Jesus did on the cross there's an aspect of it which still continues to every single one of us today the spoils and we we don't really use that word a lot today because we're not in a climate in a culture. Where are readily, you know, something of our everyday life but you know David knew about spoils he knew what happened in found a ziklag destroyed and in all the family gone and every everyone's family gone and everything they had taken will they went after you know, he asked the Lord the Lord said yes going and then David went in the Bible says he recovered all see. Those are spoils see Jesus Christ.
On our own and because he won that battle there are spoils. Can you imagine what can you do?
You know me just imagine the last Super Bowl party for the team that one I don't know that's bad because you know that's worldly stuff. We don't want to think about worldly stuff, but they were celebrating. I remember the spirit when the Braves won the World Series, you know if year after year after you but anyway the picture and the benefits you see we're not talking about. We're not talking about even even a Super Bowl trophy. We're not talking about a Stanley Cup or not talking about these temporal things that pass away when I'm talking about Incorruptible. We're talking about the Bible.
The people today have a hard time swallowing some of these things and I understand the rational mind, you know has to think through all these things that friend if you just take What God Says at face value, he means what he says when he says that there's a heaven to gain and a hell to shun. He means that when he says it Jesus's is his only begotten son. He made you means that These are the truth of the scriptures. So as we think about The Spoils of Christ's Victory notice, it's not our Victory. We're just on the winning team, but we're not the winning player of Jesus Christ based on what he did this Victory. The spoils can be yours friend. They can be mine. We can we can glean these things and today feeling a little bit uncomfortable. A little bit uneasy not because of how I am. I mean if I make you uncomfortable, I'm sorry. I never intend to do that. But if the scriptures make you uncomfortable and you come to the cross and you say Lord never really thought about it like that. I'm so sorry. I have not been I have not heard of so much. I should I should live in your grace more instead of just letting it sit by the wayside everyday of my life Lord. Help me to open it help me to enjoy even now the eternal life that Jesus Christ went through so much to make available. I hope you feel a little bit uneasy about how you how you done with the grace of God because all of us all of us can grow in this area neglecting to claim your benefits me like this dear elderly lady. I mean, she's working her fingers to the Bone just trying to make ends meet and she she has a policy that would leave her. Well that would carry her through. I mean, you know, that's what that's what her husband had provided for her and and he's probably turning over in his grave, but she doesn't because she doesn't know she doesn't understand and so even if you feel a little uneasy because your understanding something you didn't understand before you think that lady little bit embarrassed. I don't know. I think the embarrassment really disappears very fast moments first check comes in hands like over my head. And so she was able to live comfortably because she claimed she claimed what have been provided for that. She was trying to work for I want you to understand the benefits of Jesus Christ Ministry and I want you to claim them by faith because that's how we get them. We believe this is I mean, this is the Turning Point either you believe it or you don't and if you believe it you get to benefits living testimony right here in my heart is full from what Jesus has done for me. I know I don't deserve it. But that came by face time. I like where I had a hard time swallowing some of these things and I had to work through it in my heart and mind but I castles reservations aside. My said there's nobody else that I'd rather trust God who created me and who I can take all my cares to an infant in so many ways. I see you. I see you. I see your hand you're working in my life. And I know I know you love me God and so let me share with you what Christ Alone offers. He offers a satisfying offering I don't mean to be redundant there. But this isn't this is an offering of himself that completely satisfies your sin that he offers a justifying delivery. That is a Salvation that is through justification by faith. And then thirdly he he gives us and interceding victory. I mean, he's our high priest and there's an aspect of his ministry that he continues today. We see this any free versus here first consider with me how the servant made up of his soul 3 verse number 10. The Bible says yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him. He has put him to Greece and offering percentage.
And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand it pleased the Lord to bruise him. This I got to I got to be frank with you. This is a hard thing to chew on. How could something like this be pleasing? It pleased the Lord the bruising and it's not the same word prove that used in Genesis 315 where it says he shall bruise his head. Shall bruise his heel the first promise of Messiah is not the same Hebrew word bruise. It's different world altogether from what I understand, but this word bruise mean such a Crush. How do you take pleasure in crushing something some illustrations like Murr and in the a Lowe's in in herbs and things that you have to crush, you know, Smyrna second Church in in the Book of Revelation that had a letter written to them. Smyrna means crushed Maran when you when you crush Mariah damn, it's this fragrance. That's Pleasant. And I think that's a good biblical picture to think about when it pleased the Lord to bruise him because there's something there's a saber that's coming out of that that you can't get it unless it's crushed. And so Jesus Christ he came and he was crushed. He made a pleasing offering of a soul notices pleasing bruises the sickness that he bore in the wording is is very very informative it pleased the Lord. So who's getting the pleasure out of it? The Lord in what you getting pleasure out of losing him who is the serving gets bruised in that? He has put him to grieve. What worse what we're saying is that Christ sacrificed himself and it's satisfied it pleased the Lord.
in John chapter 10 verse number 18 Jesus himself said I lay down my life. No, man. John 10:18 when he's talking about being a good shepherd Good Shepherd giving his life for the Sheep. He said if I lay it down. Can you finish it? I have power to take it again.
Who in the history of mankind has a
Nobody, I mean if if I were to die, there's no way I can call my life back. I know that. There's been no one but she Jesus Christ has that kind of power that he laid down his life and he had the power to take you read through the New Testament you learned that Jesus Christ was resurrected by the power of the father. Jesus Christ was resurrected not just by the power of the father, but he was resurrected by the power of the Holy Spirit and that's a different person of the Triune godhead that hadn't had an influence in his resurrection. But also and this one is is the one that so hard for us to the Tractor mind around perhaps that's because he's already dead is resurrected by his own power the Father the Son the holy spirit in different passages. They each have have a part in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He's done that he willingly lay down his life. Now we can take something that doesn't belong to us when we take line. But you're saying we're taking something that doesn't belong to us. We don't have power to really take it. No God, it's the life-giver. You see what Jesus is saying when he says I have the power to do this that this belongs to me to see this through. He lays down his life for us. And then he takes it again through his sacrifice me the numerous cells throughout the ages of Believers have been redeemed by his blood and delivered by his blood. They're still going to be the hope that Jesus Christ can save the soul. And all these all these Souls Through the Ages. I've been redeemed and brought to an everlasting relationship with the father with son of the holy spirit is Christ because it pleased the Lord to bruise him. He goes on to say that he put him to greet read inverse number 10 says it pleased the Lord to bruise him. He has put him to grief lot of pronouns coming on there. And I don't know if I've quite figured out who the who all the heaters are in whose eyes are but that's an interesting if you just want an easy read go through this passage and just look at all the pronouns and try to figure out who is this he died. I can help you understand a little bit here, but the word grief literally means to be made l Look at it. He has made him sick. Okay, it says he has to put him to illness. He had put him to grieve he have put him to sickness.
Let me give you a second to think about it. Put on the sickness. We made me sick to be made Hill. It's not what's in. I need the workforce in there be no sickness, right? Ways of sin is death, but you know what happens when people die they get sick and then you die and whether you're busy or not friend are spiritually sick unto death. We all have this sickness of sin Upon Us weave Jesus Christ the righteous he came and became sick for you. Sick even to the point that he would die.
That's how part of the sickness took him. He has put him to greet. You see what we're looking at here the father puts the sickness of sin. In the disease of sin on his son. No, I just left you a whole world to think about the illogical. There's no other way. There there is no other way that this thing can happen. Somebody's got to go through it.
And you can go through it yourself and you can pay $0.04 for all eternity and a place called hell. Are you can trust that Jesus Christ? The Son of God the omnipotent God has power and he has the keys to death and hell now because he came he got sick he died for us and some sickness he put up the grease. They didn't say that.
She's not over. It's not we're talking about some sad sob story where somebody got sick and died know somebody got sick on purpose. So that they could they could I mean this is not a foreign concept to to humanitarian thoughts. Right? I mean how many how many positions are scientists might put themselves In Harm's Way to stop a virus. Dino's going to wipe out an entire, you know country or something. I mean, these are noble standing you see these are heroic things, but we have so much more than a hero knows we heard about Friday night and a great meeting. We have a savior and he did this for us this Jesus you cease and makes one sick on the Hebrews tells to see it tasted death death for every man. That means experience death for every man. See the pleasing bruise this sickness that he bore this this grief that he carried. So not only his Bible and and look with me in Leviticus chapter 5 verses hear from you show you the world that you're looking at its used in this passage and I'll show you what it talks about when Isaiah says you're fighting Leviticus. I'll read it to you Isaiah says when offering for sin in the Hebrew and these two words are translated in Leviticus chapter number 5. I look at verse number 15. Go back up. Probably 1 verse 2 verse number 14. Let me catch up to you here. Gabbert's number 14 and the Lord spake unto Moses sang. It's a soul commit a what? Trespass and sin through ignorance in the holy war then he shall bring for his what trespass onto the Lord a ram without blemish out of blocks and wood estimation by shekels of silver after the shekel of the sanctuary for a what trespass offering same words send offering offering for sin trespass offering keiki breeding. He shall make amends. for the harm that he has done in the Holy thing and he shall add the fifth part there to And give it all to the priest and the priest shall make. And atonement so this offering this trespass offering the purpose for it was to make things right to make an atonement now to atone means to cover so comforted over looking forward to the Cross to propitiate me to pay for that to happen to process what Jesus did on the flip side? Okay, so here because we're before Calvary San Antone meant for him with the ram of the what trespass offering it shall be forgiven him. We would have beautiful word verse 17 keep reading the Commandments of the Lord though. He did not even though I wasn't supposed to
Jack doesn't excuse you from the law. Tell that to the next police officer pulls your eye.
It might be nice to you and give you a warning maybe but I mean by every right to give you a ticket and he be within the law to do. So if you're if you were guilty of that whether you knew it or not, he shall bear his iniquity the word bear. A Saturday you carry your going to bury this somebody's got somebody has to pay the fine. Somebody has to has to pay for this. And he shall bring a ram without blemish keywords that without blemish out of the block. With the estimation for what trespass offering same word trespass offering unto the priests in the pre-show make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance. We're in the air and wisdom for the grace of God verse number 19 reading with me kitty had certainly trespassed against the Lord have we certainly trespassed against the Lord you see? This is what Jesus did for us not only did he was met the father made the soul of the Sun. An offering for sin of trespass offering, you know reminds me of 2nd Corinthians 5:21. You probably have heard this maybe even be able to quote it. He has made him to be sin for us who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in him to switch. Jesus doesn't know things are new but boy, they oughta make you shout because this is the story of the ages tell me the old old story. I want to hear how I can say it again. Just go ahead and remind me for not trusting the Lord. Yeah. This is what he did wasn't tainted. He was a lamb without blemish, but he took that on a he took that on himself for us so that we can be made righteousness. Look back in her text and Isaiah 53 in verse number 10 and noticed. Is pleasing bruised and illness not only his stolz sin offering for you but notices last fruit or his remaining fruit back in Isaiah 53:10. It says Scout pleased the Lord to bruise him his put into grief when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin. He shall see you shall prolong his days in the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hands.
No, there is something in Hebrews chapter 12 verse that he went to the cross despising the shame for the joy that was set before him. What's this joints that sweet-smelling Savor of that crushed Murr when he would give his life. He knew there was something to gain the game to you.
guinea pig King what we can never get ourselves you seen. Does that Force lasting fruit the result of the resurrection of Jesus Christ? It's about Jesus where to see today. It's still here because you're here. See he died without children never was married never never was in any any kind of relationship like you and I will think of in that way never had children and they they killed an innocent man put him to death but yet it is because of the truth of the word of God. He committed unto his disciples who he made Apostles and They Carried the word to the ends of the Earth and thank God they did that. Otherwise you and I I mean, I don't know where we'd be. Will be lost. We have the same commission today. See this is this is the CD shall see his seed shall prolong his day. She because he was obedient unto death even in Jesus Christ was resurrected. He's the first fruits from the dead. Says he shall prolong his days. What you're looking at there? is resurrection accomplished 80s Jesus day's been for a long
I mean they're still on going now. If you really believe what the Bible says you have to believe that Jesus is no longer dead that he is alive. He is not here for He Is Risen as he said all that's just a bunch of fairy tales. All right, I'm sorry friend. You can believe that if you want but I believe the Bible and I believe that is true believe that Jesus Christ has conquered death because that's what the Bible teaches me story. This is real. This is behind all this is truth. And God can't lie. I mean if we do the math on the short end of the stick believing something that I find out as well. What did I believe that for? What language is in that nothing? I mean, I'm living a life full of joy and happiness and a blessed to be scheduled skeptical about this.
No, maybe I mean what if I am wrong? I don't believe I am but what if I am, I didn't really lose anything. What if I'm wrong on the other side? What do I stand to lose their?
eternity I don't know. I'm not ready to hang my turn me on that kind of balance. I'm not just talk about fire Insurance. You're not talking about life insurance. I'm talking about the blessings that Jesus gives us a friend. If you walk by faith, you know, Jesus told his disciples. Oh ye of little faith going to take for you to bully, you know the rich man and what was Abraham's answer to to that rich man to Dives if you want to call him. He said they have Moses and the prophets.
Let them believe them first day will not hear Moses and the prophets friend. If you're not going to listen to the Bible, if you're going to listen to all this other mess and trash out there modernism never talk about a little bit later on today if you want to listen all this stuff. And put the Bible inside. The best thing that you can do is go somewhere and lock yourself in for a while with nothing. But this book and just read this book what this book coming on itself and take this book 66 books that make up what we call the Bible and let God tell you what God tell you himself Flaherty. That is how you're going to come to Faith Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by what the word of God you see. Jesus Christ Did this Force Resurrection Jesus himself said in John Chapter 2 Troy this Temple. And in three days, I will raise it up again. The John tells us he was talking about his the Temple of his body. He was talking about how he died three days. Later. Yeah, I said I will raise it up you sure did and we continue to bear fruit farm. I don't have time to go over but I doubt the reason why he does things why the father and one husband does things in her life is to get us to a place where we can bear fruit. I just bearing fruit. But so that we can have fullness of joy John 15 verse number 8 so that we can bring forth fruit doesn't stop there. He says I've I've ordained you that you should go and bring forth fruit your fruit should
You see the fruit of what Jesus did remains today? It's a biting fruit. Now, that's an oxymoron yourself. How how many windowsill too long? What happens to it? It doesn't remain. Either somebody else in the house comes by and says, who's that's yummy. I think I'll leave that it's gone or it just stinks up your whole kitchen and you got to get rid of it somehow.
Fruit doesn't stick around like that. Jesus said this group does. This proved us the Crystal River in heaven. Oh here I go on that. You know kick again. Is there go read it it's true. There's going to be a crystal river flowing. There's going to be the trees along that River Tree of Life that are going to bear fruit. Wait a whole year before I get more apples off my tree or peaches or whatever. I'm growing pears, whatever you whatever you like every month every month. These trees are going to be full-time when they're not when you can't walk up like Jesus did you know and then the Fig Tree they were like what you do what you do when it wasn't supposed to be growing tree. Why because he wanted some refreshment from it, and there was nothing So I can be like that in heaven. You're going to come and you're going to find refreshment anytime you're there. It's just beautiful c benefits the lasting fruit. The pleasure of the Lord he go I say goes on to say the Pledge of the Lord shall prosper, you know, surely the pleasure of the Lord prospered because of the life-giving sacrificial death of our Lord Jesus Christ who prayed a little later on a past John 15 and John 17 and is high Priestly prayer. He played he prayed father glorify down me with the glory that I had with me before the world. Seek the pleasure of the Lord Prosper when Jesus can you explain Isaiah 53? You can't find anybody else in here, but Jesus. You just can't.
So these folks that are out there that are still looking for someone to fit this bill. I think they're like that. Why don't they? I don't know if I can answer that question. Why don't why don't why don't we why don't we Avail ourselves to what Jesus did for his John 17 is a beautiful past shows us our our our high priest in a way that gives us a glimpse into his intercessory Ministry. That wouldn't talk about here in a moment. But secondly, not only this offering that was pleasing this satisfactory offering but notice secondly the servants birth pains that brings blessings according to Isaiah chapter 53. He says he shall see the travail of his soul and shall be satisfied. It is just brings all kinds of objects illustrations to mine. Now. I'm a parent and I've been present for the birth of our children each time and I'll tell you it is travail not on me, but it is hard. It is one of the most difficult things I can ever do to watch my wife go through what she goes through in order to to Bear children into this world in the Bible is clear meme Bittman beget children women bear them and there's a distinction in the words for reason his men have no idea what it's like to Bear children and frankly. I don't need to I don't I don't want to but there's there's an aspect clear that this is a travail that that I mean, we've got to wrap your mind around by Jesus talk about the travail of the world that's going to bring forth paint. You know what he's time I used to These are not the wrath of God in judgment that this world is going to bring forth the new Heaven and the new Earth. I mean literally it's going to be hell on Earth before we get heaven. And we're not going to be here cuz I believe will be raptured out but I'm pre-trip guy and that's why I believe that I believe the scripture say that we're going to be delivered from the Wrath to come and then we're not going to be on the world when it's judged. We can't be here otherwise would be judged with the world. So what Revelation Revelation says it's so, you know, this word brings all kinds of images to her mind about the travail. No notice what the travail is. Its he shall see the travail of his soul not just his crucifixion a mockery of a trial know Jesus. I mean, he was beaten beyond recognition short, but you understand the grief that he carried in his soul every part of him where to place where you and I could never go and come back. and he did and he went captivity captive by the way, and I don't know what all happened between him and the devil down there and and then I don't have no idea but he came out Victorious and he bore our sins and he was in full control every moment of his giving of himself satisfied without the father and the father is going to be satisfied because his death for the sins of God's people to trespass offering remember how we tried that together a man's arm and relationships. Are they
And he got Sun paper. Every bit as the plank that doesn't seem very fair. Well, let's go on because it's worth it in every respect for Jesus to do this for he justifies the righteous. So we see his satisfying.
every Satisfied by his knowledge
What's he going to know that's going to allow him? To have someone quit it. But it's not large, Rochester.
He's totally right. What does he know? What does he know that? We don't know what kind of knowledge does he have that would cause him to be able to stand for that have someone who is clearly guilty acquitted. I acknowledge. Kelly knows he knows Fox will
came to do the father's will the will of the father is that sin must be paid for? And so he knows the will of God. There's no way around it. He knows he comes and I will take their capital punishment.
Gill equipment notice it doesn't say all it was just in a universal thing here. There are some that will not have this justification because they try to get it themselves. They try to come over the fence another way instead of coming through the gate. Cheese's it on the door. Sit on the way the truth and the life no man cometh unto the father, but by me so we can't do it ourselves. But by his knowledge the will of the father is what is going to move him to declare many write Romans chapter 3 if you want to turn over and read these verses cuz they're just so appropriate I cannot I cannot fail to read these with you Romans chapter number 3.
let's get Paul's take on this and see how he explains it because he does it so much better than I do in Romans chapter 3 follow along at verse 21
But now the righteousness of God without the laws manifested being witnessed by the law and the prophets. Even the righteousness of God, which is by faith of Jesus Christ on to all and upon all that. There's no difference short of the glory of God. That was his will see that was what Jesus of God God has sent a propitiation. Through faith in his blood without the shedding of blood there is no remission to declare that's an authoritative statement sentence. It's a declaration with all the authority and power behind it to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are passed through the forbearance of God to declare I say at this time his righteousness. Why call why all the stuff why I threw his righteous wife is a forbearance why through this declaration why through this payment why through this Redemption? Why freely why because we're the ones that fell short he says that he who's that? Who's the he is Jesus that Jesus might be just as Jesus just yes. And not only is he going to be just through all this? He's going to be the justifier. Of him which believe it? in Jesus name Where is boasting, then? There's no room for me to boast know I glory in what Jesus did for me and that's that's it. She is just fine righteousness and caring way of sin3x. I say Futures cuz of the way Isaiah, where did it here? We're going to we're going to look at his carrying away of sin in a moment. But in inverse number 11, it says and Isaiah 53, he shall see that you're satisfied by his knowledge by many for he shall do as a result of Jesus Christ propitiation in his death. God is able to acquit run into a little problem. There is no acquittal that's happening because Jesus Christ took the payment. See, we're not being let off you'll slap on the hand and forgiving and you can go Jesus Christ went to death for us there. We put our faith in Jesus sacrifice for us. And this verse says he Bears or he carries away our iniquities notice the wording very particularly. It says for he shall bear their what iniquities login and I'll tell you about it a second Romans chapter 5 if you're still in chapter 3 just turned ahead just two chapters. Continue. Paul's a line of thought here. Movies Power Romans chapter 5 look down at verse number 17 and he explains how this happens death reigned by one much more they which receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one Jesus Christ Verse 18. Therefore as by the Judgment Came Upon all men to condemnation even so by the righteousness of life. Price by one man's Disobedience many were made centers. So by The Obedience of one shall many be made righteous Hallelujah for The Obedience of Jesus Christ that Jesus died and left us. Like we should a friend he has provided the riches of his offering of his own soul to satisfy and please the Lord when you couldn't he has declared you right in the gods about it and then dies of God if you believed on him, I mean what benefits but it doesn't stop there. There's a little more let's keep reading verse number 12. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great and he shall divide the spoil with the strong because he had poured out his soul unto death and he was numbered with the transgressors and he barely passed it and made intercession for the transgressors. I mean, this is just beautiful not only has been declared and declared me righteous through faith in him and what he did but he is also now making a Victorious intercession on our behalf for us his ministry stop on Calvary. It continues on even the day notice the Great Divide that we read about him verse number 12 the first car. He says therefore because of all of this. Well, I divide him a portion with great. We've already talked about spoils and and enjoying the victories. So now it comes to dividing it up when Israel into the Promised Land. Joshua dividing everything up among the people. I got told him they were dividing up what they want. Jesus here is going to be able to divide what he wins and in the Victory Is Ours through Jesus Christ. The father Divine supports into the sun. Are you following along with me? All right. So the father does this from son he's going to divide him a fortune with who the great you know, who I believe that is believe that's the saints of God. We're great not because of anything we've done again, but because of what Jesus has done for us because we are part of the portion of Lourdes where that joy that was set before him that I mentioned a moment ago. Not only son but notice the sun takes that then the servant if you will and he shall divide the spoil with the strong. So the saints of God become the property of Jesus Jesus Christ himself, you know, I mentioned Ephesians chapter 1. I want you to turn over there with me to Ephesians chapter number one and think about this victory that we have I m going to wrap it up here and I promise I'll I'll finish quickly.
Ephesians chapter 1 Paul an apostle Jesus Christ by the will of God for the Saints. Did you catch that to the Saints who sang? Well, don't let anyone fool you friend. It's it's not what churches teach about Saints today know it's simply believers who are Sanctified who are saved by grace through faith. The Saints are at Ephesus knows they're not in heaven there at Ephesus right now. Okay into the faithful in Christ. Jesus Christ blessed be God and the father of our Lord Jesus Christ who have blessed us with all spiritual blessings in Heavenly prayed places in Christ. According as he is chosen Us in him before the foundation of the world that we should be. Holy and without having predestinate does the adoption of children by Jesus Christ the King according to the pleasure a good pleasure of his will to the praise of the glory of his grace where in hit made us accepted in the Beloved. Hey, I'm accepted in this that's wonderful. We have Redemption through his blood
Yep, covered that one according to the riches of his grace working on that one. He had two found a tortoise and all-purpose than himself that in the dispensation of the fulness of times. He might and him obtain next word with me an inheritance to his glory who first trusted in Christ in whom he also trusted after that. She heard the word of truth that you were sealed with that Holy Spirit of Promise, which is the earnest of our what inheritance until the Redemption of the purchase possession under the praise of his glory wherefore I also after I heard of your faith in the Jesus in love of you in my prayers that they got severe understanding that she made no glory of his inheritance. And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us word for above all principality and Power and Light in Dominion in every name that is named not only in this world, but also to the church, which is his body the fullness of him that Phil is all in all Hades Quicken you friend he is made you a lot and there is an inheritance.
The Sun is going to divide the spoil with the strong. We're only strong really great and what Jesus has done for us posted? I am crucified with Christ nevertheless. I live in when John saw that Vision around the throne room of God in the Lamb of God that was slain before the foundation of the world based on a new song He said, And that song was lifted up a voices from every Kindred and every nation every tribe. Every kind of person on this Earth. That's what Jesus did. It says it goes on and Isaiah to say if he's going to divide the portion because he has poured out his soul unto death literally because he laid bare his soul to death. I just laid make it open. So the death he didn't hold anything back friend. That's why he can divide the spoil. That's what I'm saying. And then we see is carrying away of of sin. He says his he poured out his soul. He was numbered with the transgressors. She was counted among us immediately for a c was identified with us as Sinners as They Carried Away our sins. He bear the sin of Minute Maid intercession for the transgressors. You have read of guilt. We read the word iniquity. He shall bear their iniquity. Directions to twist we take the word of God with Twisted. It's our nature where Sinners were corrupt not only needs to cross the boundary. You stepped over the line. We twist it and we believe the lies that we tell ourselves and we think it's okay. I can I can take this an exception to the rule here and we justified in her own mind and we do so your own harm and then a third word is sin. He shall be are there since he's all covered. Jesus didn't miss any of it to send this particular.
If you do this, then I'll never and you better be careful with that. Ask Martin Luther I can tell you about some other preachers in days gone by then that were thrust of the ministry because of a promise they made to God know we don't operate that way. We don't make promises that we can't keep but we do because we're Covenant Breakers. We're Sinners. We fall short of the glory of God season 2. Send means to miss the mark Away The Sins of many people who place their faith in him and he's the reason here's the reason he's able to because he was numbered along with the transgressors and because he born he has a Ministry of intercession right now literally at the transgressor sporty transgressors. That's it's a continual thing for those who are transgressing.
And what a conclusion to a marvelous Passage? I mean we have just come to the Pinnacle here. We started out by looking how he's going to be exalted back in chapter 52 and verse number 13. What does it take saltation look like well this exaltation is going to look like the suffering of the servant. He's going to give his soul. He's going to give his life. He's going to go to death. He's going to he's going to go through passion for us. If we're out of soul, but doesn't in there Isaiah showed us his resurrection as in a raised from the dead and then how he's going to be Victorious and making her session for so you put in the bigger picture together now. Who fits that bill but Jesus? Really friend who could do that, but him there's no one. And it's high Priestly work for us continues as his people the Church of God. And so as I draw this together is satisfactory offering is delivering justification and his Victorious intercession. Jesus is praying for you right now friend at the right hand of the Father Paul tells us in Romans 8 he is is there He's praying for you. Is praying that you'll believe the word of God and you'll put all this stuff and all this mess aside that you'll come by faith. Are you enjoying with Christ Alone offers? Don't let these benefits go unclaimed why you work your fingers to the Bone and you wind up dead in your sins. No common claim with Christ has done glorious Resurrection over sin and death. Hallelujah What A Savior would you pray with me Lord we're not worthy for what you've done for us I'm just a worm and I'm no man. The God you have extended Your Grace you've been so merciful to me a sinner because you sent your son to take my sin. And I know he was that spotless lamb that that satisfied satisfied your wrath. Thank you for doing that.
And all that he went through the travail of his soul lord and bring so many blessings. I can stand before you with a clear conscience got knowing that that I don't have to be concerned about my sins. I have a future Lord with you because you continue to pray for me. Now this servant that came in and did all these things that we've been talking about. We we can look back and see and know that hindsight's 20/20. It's Jesus. Lord all these benefits are hours for give us Lord for the ignorance that we've had and not availing ourselves to them and and not being careful to share them share the news about them with others because it's not just for us that he's done this it's for every person that would ever call upon the name of the Lord. They can be saved and delivered they can they can have all of this that we've discussed this morning Lord help us to be diligent to be faithful to prolong your seat to spread the gospel the good news of Salvation to the ends of the Earth Lord. I pray for that one that needs encouragement today. I pray that you would do that in their heart and in their mind, I pray that if there's one that's lost. It wouldn't leave here without the knowledge of Jesus Christ as their savior has about eyes are closed. I'll invite you to play the stand to your feet if the Lord spoken to you through this message. Then I want invite you. We're going to have it in a brief invitation. You can make an altar out of your chair or we've got a front row open up here that you can come and you Candyland and you can thank God you can you can think about you can take your burdens to him? But don't leave here today without at least acknowledging once again oppression and do what Jesus did for you when he died on that cross in your place. He did that because he love you friend. Praying for you. And if you don't know him as Savior, if you don't know haven't your home it might not make the day the day you cash that in you claim that benefits or Jesus Christ has her about the panel's going to play at the Spirit spoken to you. Then don't hesitate to move friend making all the right where you are. I step out and will help you will take a Bible and show you how you can be safe. Maybe you need to follow the First Baptist. Maybe you need a church that's going to preach the truth of the word of God. Then you have someone that you were praying for that you're concerned about is for lost people to come for the children of God to do business with a mess. You've spoken to them. What's the Lord is here with you this morning what you got in your heart? Don't let it fall by the wayside, maybe an old fashioned all for my new in the watering that it needs to be improved.
