State: He canceled the record of the charges against us
Charges- what Charges?
The mosaic law and all of its regulations and our own sin
Cancelled....
The word used often signified the wiping (scraping) of the papyrus sheets so they could be used again
When Jesus died, the condemning document of your wrongs and God’s righteous requirements were destroyed
John Piper quote
John Piper asks, ‘How was this damning record nailed to the cross?
Parchment was not nailed to the cross.
Christ was.
So Christ became my damning record of bad (and good) deeds.
He endured my damnation’.
By his substitutionary atoning death at Calvary, Jesus Christ completely obliterated the law’s demands towards the sinner.
Thus we have the words of Isaiah 53:6: ‘The LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all’.
State:
Ever since Genesis the promise was prophesied that (satan/sin) would be crushed
Genesis 3:15 (NIV)
15 And I (God) will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”
State: Satan has been corrupting humanity ever since with sin
This put us under God’s judgment for sin
Ephesians explains it like this:
State:
The weapons that satan had to condemn us with were our failure to fulfill righteousness as God required it.
What was that righteousness we did not fulfill?:
Jesus fulfilled this for us
He loved God with all his heart, soul and mind AND loved his neighbor as himself.
Jesus did what we could not do
Satan’s ability to accuse us before God and control us was broken by the what was accomplished on the cross
Ephesians says it like this...
State: Satan can no longer accuse us before God - because we are perfected in Christ
He still accuses us to ourselves though.
Why?
Because we still sin
That’s when we remind ourselves of what was done on the cross
State: Jesus made a public spectacle of the powers and principalities by the cross and the resurrection
How…?
Jesus lived a sinless obedient life regardless of satan’s attempts to stop him
Jesus endured the suffering of the cross
Jesus rising from the dead proved:
Jesus lived a sinless life ( if not, he would have had the judgment of sin against him)
Jesus had something in him that empowered him to overcome the enemy (Holy Spirit)
And he gave that power to us
State: Christ’s victory paved the way for God’s overcoming Holy Spirit to dwell in all mankind.
For 3974 years (Adam-Christ) God wanted to dwell amongst his creation man
Adam - God was in the Garden with Adam- but sin separated them (us) from God
Moses - God’s wanted to dwell within the camp with the Israelites
But their sin stopped it.
Israel's sin (Arron and the calf) caused God to withdraw from them
David/Solomon’s temple
Once a year one person only could go in and stand in God’s presence - not without blood
Jesus’s crucifixion/resurrection took away the sin divide between God and his children.
State: Ephesians speaks about what the cross has done
State: God’s plan was to once again have intimate relationship with us
State: The process for this was:
Jesus living a sinless life
Enduring the judgement, punishment and abandonment of the cross
Because he did these two things....
The Resurrection happened.
We received his righteousness
State: We want the freedom, power and relationship with God that the resurrection offers
But sin/shame/guilt blocks us
We are still a work in progress
God reveals things
The enemy accuses us
We need to go to the forgiveness and cleansing of the cross.
