OVER MY DEAD BODY

IT IS FINISHED

Philippians 2:5–9 KJV 1900

5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

John 19:30 KJV 1900

30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

SEVEN DEMOTIONS OF JESUS

EQUALITY WITH GOD HE DID NOT CLING TO HIS DIVINE RIGHT

TAKING THE FORM OF A SERVANT HE LAID ASIDE HIS DIVINE GLORY (KENOSIS)

BEING BORN IN LIKENESS OF A MEN HE TOOK ON HUMAN NATURE

HUMBLING HIMSELF HE BECAME OBEDIENT TO THE FATHER

OBEDIENCE TO DEATH HE EXPERIENCE PHYSICAL DEATH

DEATH OF THE CROSS THE LOWEST FORM OF EXECUTION

7) BURIAL HE WAS PLACED IN A TOMB

I HAVE FINISHED John 17:4 “4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.”

HE MODELLED THE FATHERS CHARACTER PERFECTLY IN HIS LIFE AND TEACHINGS

THE DIVINE DILEMMA

GOD’S LOVE DESIRES FELLOWSHIP WITH MANKIND

GOD’S HOLINESS CANNOT FELLOWSHIP WITH SIN

GOD’S JUSTICE CANNOT OVERLOOK SIN

GOD’S GOODNESS CANNOT ALLOW HUMANITY TO PERISH

GOD’S JUSTICE DEMAND FULL PAYMENT OR ELSE MAN WILL BE ETERNALLY SEPARATED

GOD’S LOVE SAID OVER MY DEAD BODY “PREPARE ME A BODY”

Hebrews 10:5 KJV 1900

5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

IT IS FINISHED (Tetelestai)
