He Bore It All

When Jesus took our place as our substitute on this earth (from the time He was born until He was resurrected), He had a mission. Come and get my kids back for me. That is what the Father was saying to Him. I want my family back. I want to be able to fellowship and enjoy my children. Let’s restore them to the position of family members again.

The only way that we could become family again was for someone to take our place and bear the consequences of our disobedience. Someone had to pay the price,and that is exactly what Jesus did for us. God provided His Son to be our substitute. Jesus was born to be our substitute. I think it is time we looked closely at what He did for us, because I believe that so much of the time we take it for granted. What He did was BIG!!!!!

God had to punish sin. Jesus took the fullness of that punishment. God punished Jesus (Who became sin) for you and me. We must see Jesus on the cross being judged for our sin, smitten with our sicknesses and diseases and taking on the fullness of poverty and stress and heartache and the challenges of life here on this earth. When He punished sin in Jesus, all the consequences of sin were dealt with. No more sickness and poverty for us. It is gone. It is still in the world, but we are not of the world. We are of the Kingdom of God, where sin has been taken care of.

God punished Jesus with sin and with every effect of sin. Jesus Christ was punished with our sins, our diseases, our stress, our mental anguish, our anxieties and cares. Disease, poverty, lack, failure, etc. has lost its legal right to be in you or on you or around you. It is finished as far as you are concerned. Selah, pause and think on that for a while.

God cannot punish sin twice or He would be unjust. He cannot demand payment twice for the same debt. He demanded payment of Jesus. That is it. That settles it. He will never demand payment again. So why are you trying to pay for and work for your health, your prosperity, your peace of mind. It is PAID IN FULL! DEBT CANCELLED!

MY DEBT TO SIN AND SICKNESS AND DISEASE AND POVERTY AND FAILURE IS CANCELLED, GONE FOREVER!
