The Cross; the Blood (The Cross Speaks)

Fusion is but Harris has a real big interesting Fusion in the past. In the Future 2.

Good morning everyone. I saw my sis Yes, this is Rob and what does quiet as well? Because I will be starting Fusion in June as a evangelist of other phone, which is really exciting. That is missional. So our hot is to love Jesus, loved the church and to see students plugged into the couch, as we're just kind of as you can see the 70 students here this morning. It's just so exciting, but we just want to quit the touch equipped leda's and pastas and to see students being disciples. I said, Johnny and University which is really weird time but it's just a great way to equip that I protest in this time. Gen Z. This is like the time to be living the times begin to touch. What was the percentage now. I know you eat steak twice in that time. It's going to join the team. So thank you guys. Very encouraging carries, a whole lot of fun. We, we do survey course the UK, but we kind of get to know what students of thinking about goes on. One of the questions is if a friend invited you to show us what you got, all your friend invites you to do. You reckon I've known Christmas trees in the UK would say, yes. Question. Maybe since the first met you say what? Percentage of non Christian students would say yes to an invitation to church what you reckon. Does anyone want a shout-out a number? Anyone 30% 5045 anyone else? Guys are so pessimistic.

76% of I've known Christian students were a ghost Church in the vale by friend is not crazy. And so, that's why me and Karis will be part of the Avengers and teams. They would be going to church is and signs that young people and say, hey, black people want to be involved as you can invite them. But that's basically going to be all girl, which is really exciting. Next time, say, I was going to say, open up space to support growth as well, because we actually found our commission meeting with MBTA, which is why we partnered with people touch his survival salary, completely understand. So they'll be enough to take the end if you want to give to Rob, give the fusion, don't think even I thought nobody knows she needs to do that. So that's why you cussing.

Spanx size.

Listen to be here. Thank you for having me guys. I thought I would share so you know who I am. Because everybody has a story on your story will interact with ghost story, which is a wonderful thing. And the hope and prayer is also, or this morning that you will go forth in your story and courage. I'm more looking like Jesus by 6. I think that in this book, it's ready. Wrap, that you guys may have never heard of it before. I pulled the Bible. It says that have messed up all of my stuff out of the goodness of God. As a teenager, I was at a nuisance. I, my parents a check leaders, but that doesn't mean that you asked your children are going to be saved. I haven't said, I was a bit of a nuisance. It goes on to say, in the Bible, about the wages of that stuff, the wages of all about stupidity is not see death and destruction. It turns out if you lost your friends than you couldn't lose your friends, if it's pretty logical, if you making choices that you. Mental health, before we get in the bin, maybe you all-perfect first, and maybe you've never done anything wrong in your life. If you are pleased to know your secret, but we all messed up and we go ashore and it caused this destruction in pain and we seize his so much stuff going on. Well, that's not right. And go doesn't want it that way and when I was 17 18, I went to a Jesus night summer and I also question, I like if you were real, if you were real, would you meet me? But it's not going very well at the moment. It says that the wages of sin is death. It goes on to say it, but the gift of God is eternal life and he realized, I thought it sent you some Jesus died for me a special. It was really, really special and I felt this love in my chest. When I started crying like a little baby snow everywhere, as it was a pool of water on the floor. It was a beautiful night because the truth was this, that whilst I was still a muppet that Jesus died for me. Once I was still doing stupid stuff that he loved me, and he kept me and all I need to do or what I need to say, with believe in my heart, that is being risen from the dead, and take care of my mouth, that Jesus is Lord, and I would be safe. Might be safe, not 50% off. And if I did enough, good stuff. Know I would be safe because it was old from his grace. And I realize that I'm not annoyed and it changed my life and I'm sorry, I just want to say, I don't know. So, I don't know who's in the room. Doesn't have to stay the same doctor, you can apply. And so, I'm sure they'll be people here for this family. This church family. Would love to see about if you want to take it step into the kingdom of Lights. I'm bonds holes that you guys as a community are looking at the cross running up to Easter, which is a really good theme, I'm sorry, one day. If you could just close, your eyes are going to do. If an imaginary exercise just a focus on Jesus as we begin. So, I want you to imagine that your your toddler self. Are you live with you or you smoke? And imagine that you're sitting in a room, may be a living room but place where you feel safe, A place where you'd go home. Maybe it's a place from home. When you were small or maybe a place that you live but can you imagine somewhere but you feel completely safe?

Electra toddler self. And you realize there's another person in the room. He comes over and he takes your hand. And you still. I see that has holes in his hands.

He takes you by the hand and you won't go outside.

And you walk outside into a peaceful garden. What can you say?

What can you smell? Can you fill the garage under your feet?

Can you smell the flowers? Can you see the beast on the bus?

Can you imagine walking through the garden? Holding his hand.

The womb for the song on your face.

and as you woke up to be a bit of a hell of an incline, you woke up. Working at the same place as Jesus.

I need to see the on top of the hill. There's a cross.

You still holding Jesus Hondas. You look upon it.

Jesus didn't see any sense. I went on that Tracy.

He says, I love you.

And you only see a question this morning. Do you love me?

Do you love me?

Same people died on the hill. free the beautiful garden and buy into the place of safety.

And you realize this time it's not just you and Jesus, you recognize your friends, you recognize your family, you recognize all the people that you know and it shows your whole life. And you realize it's a massive party as a massive celebration.

There's lots of good food. It looks of joy. The closest malls.

and he defends you again, it says, one last thing you said, Are you going to invites?

The feast.

And then we can open your eyes now. I don't know about you, but sometimes Church can get quite complicated. Face pretty simple. It's about the cross. It's all about Jesus. It's what about what he's done for us. And how much he loves us, how much he loves you. I'm sorry. Today we're going to be looking at just one aspect of the Cross and I'm going to look at the blood of Jesus today and which flowed from the cross and Jones. He was a theologian. He said that there is no crush on TV about the cross. And 1 Corinthians 15:14. It says and if Christ has not been raised in our preaching, is in vain, in your faith is in vain.

There's no Resurrection, there's no Easter Sunday, if there isn't will say it.

There's no Good Friday me about Easter Sunday. And so today, we're going to look into the bus. We sing about it, would have time to send me songs? You can you can think of a song that's called the blood of Jesus. And me, we we, we spoke about juice. I mean, read about in the Bible and I'm I grew up in church, church latest, okay, hun. But you want is when you think about it. Conduit. For someone who's never been to church before you decide.

That is strange. But honestly, if I'm honest, even though I was in Sunday school, even though I kind of girl getting to charge, I never really understood about the birth of Jesus that maybe, you know, I found some other stuff and he was really good. So that means he he died and then I'm alive. I understand that. But why it was so significant today. Hopefully I'll be going to unpack some scriptures. We going to see. Also hope you have a few questions and one is, why does the blood Martha cigars? Why did you have to shut his butt? And what does the blood accomplish? What does it accomplish? Do we know what a conversation and then do? We walk in our freedom to be in the knowledge of it lost count of the journey. We were going to go sound. Okay, sound good friends. Okay, is from 11:00, is this the life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it to you? Maybe I should be to sit in the blood and I've given it to you upon the order to make a timer for yourselves, where is in the blood that makes a timer for the salt. For the life of the flash is in the blocks, the life of The Flash in the plaza at my mom's a biology teacher. And she even know what I'm going to say protein and it picks up oxygen. Alright, from your long, it takes it around and take it to the parts of your body. And it basically means that your life because of this, When you get your food, it goes in a person in your tummy, then it goes into a penny goes in, the body goes wrong to whole body, life of the flesh is in the blood. But if your blood stopped flowing, You know, the life of them on somebody is in that place, but it is true Airlines with all of us on the biology. You know, every living animal has blood And if the blood stops flowing, then life ceases.

Life is literally in the blood. Let me know where that gold is. That create a God who loves us? You made us. He's the author of life. And so he chose plots to be the thing about to be the thing that would carry oxygen to all cells. That would carry the energy to his house. So God is mightily important to him. He calls himself the way the truth and the life is life in the blood. Blood is important. To him in the second picture, I from Genesis 9:6. It says this, whoever sheds mom's but I'm on his blood shall be shed for in the image of God. He has made, man

So why so serious about us humans are made in the image of God. In the image of God. I'm his blood represent, life itself and such to shed innocent blood is to destroy. Something is to destroy something that he cares so deeply about because he's crazy.

God is fiercely protective.

Absolutely hates that he is the source of life is just as you as you read it in the Old Testament, you might be thinking, maybe that is an Old Testament. Law has blood in his body shop in chest, meaning to somebody. Then I see the consequences of that murder, is that Now, we living post-resurrection. And so when under the law, but the principle the principle of gold caring about life and the principle of Justice Still Remains I'm sorry if that was wrong doing. God is not like someone who's a cleaner who just watching under the carpet, guys? Know what. It's all right. That I was definitely. I saw that there was lost. It was all right that those just didn't know he's very serious about that he doesn't brush things. Under the carpet for the beautiful thing is that he came He changed it went up on that cross and died for us the old of us, a mocha hung up on him. Satisfying, the need for that Justice. Satisfying that need the consequent reaction of Austin. The other day I was on campus in Lincoln and one of them. So I know it's a tough trip me out for this whole thing and he said, if you believe in the god of love, then you believe there's Heaven and Hell. I got my friend, let me ask you a question. Do you think that Justice is good all day? Yeah. It's already got it. It's already a punishment for what that wasn't justice system thing. For justice systems RC keep people to account the wrong things they do or just to let people off. If they let people off. Be wrong. It's interesting. So would you say that God is the god of love? If he keeps that Justice is Yeah, I would like to follow a God. Who is a God of Justice? Now, that Lord, Jesus is to go to Justice because he doesn't brush anything under the carpet. The wrong things that he is, that people have done to you. If they come to Jesus in Repentance will be on him on the cross. If that isn't repentance, if that isn't relationship with Jesus, if you're not covered by the blood of Jesus, and you have to make it count, You have to make it home for, I'm not even on you. He was like, wow, that's really deep. What is the date for Wednesday or Wednesday morning, whatever it was? I was like, maybe, would you like me to pay? See, is that? Yeah, I would love. He's afraid of me so he prays together. It was wonderful. I told him, my story of my test me, how is ready by mental health. She, I met Jesus, I repented of the things associated with those lies, not going into new life. He said, whatever happened to you. I could happen for me, as well. Yes, of course, it could happen to you.

Call Jen said I really care about Justice. They really do. They want things to be bright eyes. When they see Injustice, they trying to counsel people straight away just counsel them, but they really care about Justice. And God, Jesus is the code of justice and the cross is good news is good news because they do not need to take the payment, but they sent any more upon themselves, they can give it to him, he's more than able to save them. Why is the blood Jesus different? And it was definitely see a nose like a forces which covers in temporarily, but Jesus blood doesn't cover saying it removes it, because his blood would send this pure Divine, Eternal full of love his blood Kari, life itself, the architect of life, whoops, I told I'm going to come on us with his blood coursing through his veins. I just bought is so precious.

So, so precious. I thought I wanted to speak about with a blood accomplishes. What is it accomplished by? Can we unpack it? And look at what the Bible says about what the blood

So if you're scribbling, if you take a note Stevia points, I can't hear you. I'm sorry. Number one, the blood brings forgiveness. Okay, if Asians won the seven. Says.

In him, we have Redemption through his blood. If they gave me such sins according to the riches of his grace in him, we have Redemption through his blood, the Forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace because of his blog Austin's on not counted against a hallelujah. Thank you Jesus. Thank you. Jesus. Forgiveness is not temporary. Forgiveness is not forgiven. It's for forgiveness is complete. Forgiveness for his blood, you are washed twice tonight. He is not like a head teacher. Who's all he knew? Anyone is annoying one and I forgive him for what he did. You know, when he put the alarm clock, since the ceiling, and they went off Midler's, I forgive you, but I'm not going to forget it. No, Jesus isn't like that. He's blocked his out, all transgressions. He sees you as white as snow, you must have your trust in him.

Secondly, the blond satisfies justice as I've been speaking about in Romans 3:24 25 says this being justified by his grace for the Redemption is in Christ Jesus. Who set forth as a profile icon is blueberries. God has passed over the sins of a previously committed. Thank you, Jesus. Is powerful and it satisfies. The justice of God. We are not just forgiving we Justified. It's not as far as the wrath of God. It satisfies. All Rebellion is as far as the whole world is rebellion. If someone's Roman G. He has boxing. Is partly why he went on the cross for the justice for those who have wronged us against them?

The blood cleanses, our consciousness. Hebrews 9 12 to 14. He answered once and Peru into the hoodie price.

I'm going to take a nap. That's okay. The end of one simple wins The Hiding Place by means of his own place for securing an eternal Redemption, how much more will the blood of Christ purify? Our conscience from dead Works to serve the Living God, it's the tree, the blood doesn't change. Just change our status. It cleanses or conscience is removed. Shame is gone. It says therefore, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. We all may be clean From the Inside Out, absolutely, no condemnation. And when there is contamination, we know, it's not from him, we know it's from the anime, the father of Lies, he loves to come in and say, did you know, maybe the blue cheese, doesn't can see from your sin and it's a lie in the path, heloisa come against it. If you take it before, captive and make you obedient to Christ Jesus, and beat into the blood of Jesus. The blood gives us access to God. Ephesians 213 says, but now in Christ Jesus, you here once who was fall off a boutonniere for the blood of Christ Hebrews 10 19 says that four brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, nice, we have access to We've been seeing him this morning. How is that possible? It's the blood of Jesus. We've been brought me. We've been brought in Did any of you guys know who the prime minister of the UK, is anybody? Anybody know him post and that, you know him, you know him.

So you can know God's but do you know him? And got the blood of Jesus has meant. That is not just a knowledge of God. You can experience really know. It's as if you got his number in your phone, you can pick up the phone, you can call him. And how is he allowed at the house? And it was through the blood of Jesus which means we can enter into the holy Place wherever we are. It's not that I know of who died is is I know him. I have a relationship with him and that was made possible by the blood of Jesus. Thank you God. The blood redeemed us from a pass. One piece of 1-18-19 knowing that you around 7, but with the precious blood of Christ like that of a blemish or spot with something that is. So so so valuable the past does not own you anymore. The blood has paid the price and you believe it's okay. It's true is gone. You belong to Jesus. He's redeemed, you from your past and every time the enemy wants to remind you of your Posse know, I belongs to Jesus. I plead the blood of Jesus over my life. The blood reconciles and brings Unity Asians to 14 to 16 says that's what he himself is our peace. But he himself is on Pace. Who is made, both one and has broken down the middle Wall of Separation. Having a ball is in his flesh, the enmity that is the law of The Commandments contained in ordinances. So as to create himself, one new man, from the two fast making peace and that he might reconcile them. Both to God and one body through the cross dead by 15 death City. Mt, Ozzy brings Unity from us to God. The Ocean between each other. How is that possible? It's not humanly possible. It's true. The blood of Jesus is for the blood of Jesus. And of course before, you know, the story of Corrie, Ten. Boom was a Jewish lady. She was in Auschwitz, and and he was now preachy she survived by her. The rest of the family passed away and she survived the Holocaust. And she was speaking at Christian meeting and she realized that one of the Gods who use the Godda and I'll give him, he came outside. He said, I become a Christian. I'm so sorry for the things. I've done wrong in that moment. She took his hand and she felt the love of Jesus calls through her body that she could not forgive him in the brother. Jesus. Sweet Springs, Unity. The Brokenness could forgive him and that the Forgiveness could flow through her. So, the question is, are you guys in this community is apologies. Bring you together because the blood Jesus. Powerful is powerful enough to bring us together from things of Brokenness. The block establishes, a New Covenant 1 Corinthians 11:25 says this is the New Covenant in my blood in remembrance of me. He's established a new covenant, not based on your performance. Has some really cool enough know based on what they just told Rob, cuz it was me and Robert being business. Not based on anything like that based on him based on what he did on the cross. And it's a promise that can never be broken is not a promise. Maybe from a family member, with a lawyer already promised. I'll take the bins and I don't take out the bins. It is a true promise. Is secure humans. Break is a promise that will never break. Thank you, Jesus. Got a couple more, that sounds good. I just love reading them. This is the him who loves us and has freed us from our sins. By his God, I made us a kingdom of priests have him to God unto the father. Wow! The blood doesn't just cleanse us. It gives us a new identity. We are no longer slaves, we are Kings, and Priests we have on the head of anime. I don't know if you guys think about yourselves as princes and princesses in the Kingdom. You know. You're wearing Heavenly robes not as good but you're wearing Heavenly Rose. When you were covered by the blood of Jesus, he gave you Kingdom the ropes. You're not wearing socks off anymore, you're not wearing things that will perish you wearing something. That's a tunnel that goes right into Jesus, so you go to see yourself as worried with it. Juicy itself is worth it. Confused office, Rosie. The blood with these people from every tribe and tongue. Revelation 5 9. And they signed a new song saying you were Woody's take up the scroll and soap and it feels. So you was slain and have redeemed us to go by your blood out of every tribe and Song and people and Nation. The blood is everyone, there's no erase excluded. There's no Nation excluded, just how you got your flags up. It's the everybody. It's not for one particular. People group, the blood is sufficient for old is more than able to every human being and it's hard. Every person to be reconciled himself is not a beautiful, tree is so beautiful. I'm finally gives us the victory. Come on, give us the victory. Revelation 12:11 and says this, and they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony. And they did not love that lives to the praise God. Praise God. That is Victor with the blood of Jesus. The enemy is defeated, it's not my strength, but when we call upon the blood of Jesus, things changing a lot. Things changes in our lives. We going to find him for his boss. Sorry, the blood of Jesus. It brings a givenus justification. Cleansing, Freedom, restoration. Covenant identity. Unity Victory. God, Jesus is so precious and we must, we must think about it.

From the beginning, go to class that there's life in the blood. when Jesus said his, but he wasn't this time, he was giving his life so that we could live He's about as restoring, all that has been lost. Is there still say much in my life? I know it's her so so much in your life. But there might be an aspect. Do I register on forgiveness boxes to go to Covenant identity? We're actually even though you know Jesus she didn't feel that you're walking in the full freedom of it. And it's a cool today. It's all holy spirit for a revelation of the blood for revelation of all, the blood means to you in your life.

Go to Jesus is not just symbolic.

Is the foundation. About face. The foundation of our Salvation moment. They still say the foundation of every day Walker. Jesus. I wonder if you wanted to close your eyes. I'm going to pray. Maybe invite the bonds to come off as well. He was going to meet us in a song. I'm going to pray vosters, I love us to respond. Soy sauce. That the author of life himself's would spill his blood, so that we could have life. I think you just got truth.

And so right now, I just paid the bill of Jesus over this family feel protection for your heart. Feel love Jesus. I pray.

Father, I just pray you to reveal to them that you are that they are. Precious. And that you see them as princes and princesses, not as slaves, bcms free. So I fall. I just pray this morning that they would know the right then. Seeing you Jesus. We thank you so much for your blood. Because you go and then. So before we sing is all right. If you got into it too and just pray for one, another is okay, that sounds good and then we'll sing together.
