Death Row
Imagine with me for a bit this morning that we are all inmates on death row awaiting our final meal and our final day.
The trial has been had.
The guilty verdict rendered.
The judgement handed down by the judge, and condemned to death.
All appeals have been exhausted all you have is time to sit in your cell.
No more judgements to be rendered, you are condemned already.
This is the state we are in at this moment this the state the world is in condemned to die.
This is the helpless estate the world finds itself in, but the LORD has regarded our helpless estate.
God saw the judged state of his beloved creation and did something about it.
Today as we sit in our cell how have you responded to the love God has poured out on the world?
How has it changed and how does it continue to change you?
How do we proclaim this love to a world sitting on death row?
That He Sent His Son
Why did God Send his Son?
With the fall of humanity in Genesis 3 God already banished us from his presence, because we know both good and evil.
Unfortunately as we look at our world today the deeds of the world are still evil.
The world as a whole still sits in its Genesis 3 state.
Already judged, already condemned, already banished from God’s presence, already in their cell on death row.
God loved the world he created so much that he sent his one and only son that WHOSOEVER believes in him will not perish on death row but have eternal life.
God sent his son into this world of sin and darkness.
He was rejected by the world, judged and condemned to die.
He died a criminals death on the cross.
He was buried, and defeated sin death and the grave.
Why the judgement?
Finally, refusing to believe in God’s one and only Son results in judgment.
But belief in his name remains an option; all may believe and become God’s children
Jesus didn’t come into the world to condemn or judge the world but in order that the world would be saved through him.
Humanity was judged and condemned in Genesis 3. God in his love and mercy sent Jesus Christ to take our place on death row.
To take our place on the cross.
To take our place in the tomb.
To blow open the doors of our cells through his resurrection.
It is because of this we can join Christ in his jail break.
The Cell Is Open
Brothers and Sisters the good news of the gospel is God saw our separated, judged, condemned state and sent his son to take our place.
Jesus was condemned to die a criminals death.
He hung on the cross, bled and died for us.
He took our sentence, and bore the death penalty for us.
He was barried and rose from the dead for us that our cell doors would be open.
With his resurrection Jesus started a jail break that continues to this day.
God paid the price in his son to free you, from the judgement and condemnation already rendered.
We can take the steps out of our cell and off death row, only through believing in Jesus Christ.
For those of us who have followed Christ out of our cell, it is our job to proclaim loudly the good news, and help others out of the darkness of their cell and into the glorious light of Christ.
In Christ there is one final appeal and a new verdict to be rendered.
