Sermon Tone Analysis

The Transformation of the Heart

- 17

Many people look and hear things, but don't understand the value of what they see or hear.

We have a view in the Bible that many people in the body of Christ overlook, but the revelation of this is fascinating.

We see and focus on what John is telling us regarding the blood and water that flowed out of the side of Jesus.

Why did John mention this and no other writer in the gospels mention this.

The solider come by the three bodies that had been hanging on the cross, to ensure that they were die or alive.

If they are found alive, then were going to break their legs to ensure that death would come quickly.

But when they came to Jesus, he was die already and so the solider put a spear in His sided, and the bible specifically says in the King James version, “ spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water”.

and “ They shall look on him whom they pierced.”

This is something that we must see.

In order to see this, we must look from Jewish view.

So there are three things that we see in these few scriptures, that bring us to the conclusion that God want to provide to us something greater.

It is not just bring saved, but it is living in Sozo:

Defined in the Greek as: : 4982

Being saved from perishing

Being whole from sickness or disease.

Being saved from the penalties of the Messianic Judgement

Being restored or recover

Being whole in Mind

God want us to live in a new reality.

2 Corinthian 5:17

We are new being in Christ Jesus.

The old way of life has passed away, you are now in the life of Christ Jesus.

These versions in identify to us three dimension of our reality in Christ.

(1) Fulfillment of Prophecy

(2) Jesus as the New Adam

(3) Jesus as the New Temple

(1) Fulfillment of Prophecy

(2) Jesus as the New Adam

We have a view in the Bible that many people in the body of Christ overlook, but the revelation of this is fascinating.

(1) Fulfillment of Prophecy

That God was coming to rescue us from the fallen state.

The God-man is appointed, a mortal man of sorrow is born!

The Glory of God shall come down and teach that His death shall bring the grieving comfort and rest."

It also tell us that God’s grace will be pour out upon us:

 

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

Because of Jesus being on that cross and blood and water is coming of Him for our sake - God’s mercy, and grace will be upon us.

But in the hebrew it is described as a foundation of mercy and grace that comes there shall be a fountain open for the House of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to cleanse them from their sin and their uncleanness.

The prophet is describing is this mysterious figure of the the shepherd who is Pierce's which came in later times to be interpreted as an image of the Messiah the shepherd of the people the future king of Israel but what's interesting about Zachariah is when he says that about the piercing of this mysterious figure he also says something else he says this quote I will poor out on the House of David in the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of compassion and supplication so that when they look on him whom they have pierced they shall mourn for him as one mourns for an only child and weeps bitterly over him as one weeps over a 1st born son and then he goes on to say all on that day there shall be a fountain open for the House of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to cleanse them from their sin and their unclean

John sees the blood in the water coming from the side of Christ as the fountain that is going to wash away the sins of the people that's going to cleanse them from their sins .

But I also think it is an call to all of humanity, to be a bride, to be help mate, to came back to you maker to be who God purpose you to be

Which lead us to second point.

(2) Jesus as the New Adam

To understand that He is the New Adam the second Adam, we have to go back to Genesis and look at the first Adam.

He was made in the image and likeness of God -

 

He was made to fellowship with God

He made man not to be alone

  And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

There was no body like Adam - he had no counterpart or help made like him.

So God puts Adam to sleep.

-

The means you are part of me, you came from me, and therefore, we are joined as one.

My parts and blood is running through your body.

So a woman comes from his side, that is like him.

She came from the side not the foot - So before the fall, she is made to stand side to side with him, with the understanding of her position.

She will reign with him and rule with him.

& 28

So God has a problem that He answer before the foundation of the World.

He has made a man in His image and likeness.

Someone that He can fellowship with.

Man sin’s - So God now has no fellowship with those that are made like Him.

The Human race is lose and fellowship.

And the only thing that is going to fix this - is restore man from his state of death.

But to restore him, there has to be a life taken to restore life.
