Maundy Thursday

Absolutely Purposed.

Maybe you are here to find meaning and purpose…looking inwardly to try and find the answers…Our prayer is that you would find peace, Joy, Fulfillment, and lasting security…through Jesus Christ. Through the deliverance of sin and its consequences…through Jesus going to the Cross. This is God’s absolutely purposed plan and will for our salvation.

Jesus creates the way for you to have an active, personal relationship with God.

Hebrews 10:5–10 “Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, “Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body have you prepared for me; in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure. Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God, as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’ ” When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), then he added, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second. And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”

Jesus fulfills the first covenant to establish the second. Jesus comes to fulfill Gods will. Absolutely purposed.

Christ’s death on the cross saves you and I.

1 Timothy 2:5–6 “For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.”

You and I needed a mediator. Mankind was separated from God, there was a gap between us. Sin was the force behind this gap, we were un able to approach God.

Until Jesus stepped in our place, canceled the debt of Sin for all! The gap we could never cross…now possible through Jesus’s death and resurrection.

Jesus ushered in the new Covenant.

Hebrews 10:15–17 “And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying, “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds,” then he adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.””

You have been forgiven and freed! Sin no longer has control or power over you because Jesus Christ rose!…and that same Power that rose him from the dead, lives in those who confess and call on Jesus as Savior. Rise over the sin keeping you down in your life in Jesus name….rise over addiction, rise over fear!

You dont have to look for the answers anymore, you found the Only one that matters! Jesus Christ is the answer to all your questions…have faith in Him and Trust God’s absolutely purposed plan.

This should give you great confidence…

Hebrews 10:19–25 “Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.”

This new covenant Jesus is establishing gives you and I access to the Holy Spirit…where with His help, we can choose life over death.

To stir up love, and good works! God’s is pouring out His love for us in this new covenant…love that consumes us, and flows from us…Holy love…making it possible for us to stir up love to those in our workplaces, in our families…and reveal the King. Jesus.

Maybe you are here to find meaning and purpose…looking inwardly to try and find the answers…Our prayer is that you would find peace, Joy, Fulfillment, and lasting security…through Jesus Christ. Through the deliverance of Sin and its consequences…through Jesus… going to the Cross. This is God’s absolutely purposed plan and will for our salvation.
