Christ die for the World. Christ suffering for every nation, for every people group. The Father sowed his only Son into the World in order to reap the harvest of humanity. The only way to come to the Father, the only way to have true salvation is through Jesus Christ the Son of God. Our gospel is a bloody gospel. It is through Jesus holy blood we can have our sin forgiven.
Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? –Isa. 53:1.
To you believe in the Christ the living God? To you believe that Christ is the true Son of God? To you believe that Jesus Christ is holy and without sin, and through his suffering on the cross you can be saved? Do you believe that Jesus Christ lived and die, and then rose from the dead to set you free from sin and hell?
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath neither form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. –Isa. 53:2.
It is God who loves this whole world. Sent his only Son into this world to die for us. That whomever believes will have everlasting life. Jesus came the way of his Father’s plan. Jesus came not in his own will or might but by the will of the Father and might of the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is the only way there is no other way.
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. –Isa. 53:3.
Jesus was despised for you. Here is God in the flesh allowing him to be despised by men. Why did you go through all of this? In order to save those who despised him. Men the same men whom God made in his holy image rejected him. Jesus becomes a person of sorrow and grief when he didn’t have to do that, but he did it for you and me. We never esteem the true one and God in the flesh.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. –Isa. 53:4-5.
Jesus willing borne our griefs on the cross. He carried our sorrows to the cross. Yet we esteemed him stricken and smitted by God and afflicted. We point our fingers at Christ and say you have sin that is why you must suffering. NO! We have sin that is why he suffered for us. He was wounded for our transgressions, it was our sins, and we say that we are without sin; we say we don’t believe in sin. We say we don’t have to repent of our sins to be a Christian. He was bruised for our iniquities, our life style of sin when we say it is not sin. We have peace with God through the chastisement upon Christ at the cross. He took stripes for us that we would be healed. How could anyone say that the suffering of Christ did not happen?
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. –Isa. 53:6.
Many of us and most of us walk in our own ways. We walk in ways of the teaching of men. We walk in the ways that we say is right. We have gone our own ways. However, Christ has laid on him all of our iniquity. HE made the way that we can come back to Him.
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. –Isa. 53:7-9.
He allowed himself to be oppressed and affected on the way to the cross. He did not open his month to those who said he had sin. He allows himself to be the lamb led to the slaughter. He was number with the transgressions when he know not sin. There was no deceit at all in his holy month.
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. –Isa. 53:10-12.
It was the will of God for Christ to suffer. He did the will of his father through his willing suffering on the cross. It was God that said bruise my Son for your sins. Put grief upon My son for your grief. However, Christ laid his life down willing for the the sins of mankind to be wash in his holy blood.
Furthermore, whom do you see gathering around the cross? You do you see standing against this holy gathering? Those who gather are friends of Christ. Those who don’t gather pray for them to repent of their evil ways. If you don’t know Christ as your Lord pray this prayer with me today; “Jesus save me and forgive me. I believe that you are the Son of God. I believe that you suffered, and die for me. I believe you rose again for me. I ask you to come into my life. Help me to live for you all the days of my life, amen.”
Many are gathering around the cross. There are some who are standing against this holy gathering of the cross of Christ. There are some who don’t believe in what Christ did for us. There are some who don’t like to see the suffering of Christ. There are some for certain reasons don’t like this holy gathering.
The word says if Christ were lifted up he will drew all men. This is what is happen. Many, many from many Christian groups are coming to this holy gathering of the cross of Christ. Many, many people groups and many nations are coming to this holy gathering of the cross. –Jn. 12:32.
However, there are those who say they are Christians. They are those who say they are teachers of the Bible. They have come to teach against the Christ and his word. They may be called priest, teacher, and even pastor. They are not the servants of Christ instead they are the servants of satan.
Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God? Do you believe in the sinless birth of Christ? Do you believe that Jesus was born of a virgin? Do you believe that Jesus live a sinless life? Do you believe in the deity of Christ? Do you believe that Christ has no beginning and no end, and that he came to the earth and become flesh for us? Do you believe that Christ suffered for you? Do you believe that Christ rose from the dead? If you don’t believe in these and you call yourself a Christian, you are not, and you are going to hell.
Those who don’t believe in the doctrine of Christ and those who don’t abide in this doctrine you are not to receive them or to bless them. If a pastor, or a priest, or a teacher does not believe in the doctrine of Christ do not hear them, do not keep fellowship with them. Yes we are to reach out to those in the world. However, those who say they are Christians who are teaching against this doctrine watch out for them. –2 Jn. 7-11.
The Holy Spirit is renewing the essentials of the Christian faith through this holy gathering of the cross of Christ. This is our common ground that all true Christians can build their love upon for each other. Those who don’t believe in these essentials are not true Christians. –Jude 1:3.
The doctrine of Christ is the life and word of Christ, it is the gospel that the apostles of the lamb preach and teach in their days. As it is written in the Holy Bible it is our foundation of faith. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Jesus Christ is the son of man. The Holy Spirit united his deity with humanity, the Word become flesh. Jesus is begotten of God the Father. Jesus was born by a woman who was a virgin. It was the seed of God planted by the Holy Spirit in a virgin woman. Jesus lived a sinless life. Jesus preached, teaches, and healed the sick. Miracles were a very vital part of his ministry. Jesus cast out many demons through his ministry on earth. He finished and brought to a close with his death on the cross. His blood was shed to wash away our sins. His blood was shed to purchased our redemption. Jesus die and was buried in a tomb. He went to hell, and defected the devil and his cohorts, he then preached to the spirits in prison. After this was done our Lord was resurrected from the dead. He ascended into heaven. How do we know that he rose from the dead? There is an empty tomb. There are eyewitnesses. There is the personal testimony of Christ. There is the testimony of the Holy Spirit.
What is Christ doing now? He is at the right hand of the Father. He is ministering as our High Priest, Mediator, Intercessor, Advocate, and the Lord our Shepherd. We are to wait patiently for his return. Our faith and hope is grounded in this important truth. Jesus Christ will come back; this will be his second coming. This is the visible return of Christ with his saints and angels.
Do you know Jesus as your Lord and Savor? If not and you would like to give you life over to him today pray this pray with me? Lord Jesus be my Lord and be my Savor. I am a sinner and I have walk in a sinful life. I ask you to forgive me and set me free. I ask that you will come into my Life. I believe in you and I believe that you rose from the dead. I believe you are coming soon. I ask you to help me to obey you for the rest of my life.
If you are a Christian and are living in sin or have backside from the truth pray with me. Lord Jesus restore me and love me freely. Heal me from my sins. Forgive me of my sins. I return to you and help me to walk in the Word, and to obey the Holy Spirit.
Furthermore, this is a time to gather at the Holy Cross of Christ. This is a time to remember what Christ did for us and that he is coming back soon. Take the time to worship Him and Thank Him everyday.
Who murder Christ? Was it our sins? Was it Rome? Was it the Jews? No! No! No! For God so love this world that he give his son that we might believe in him and have everlasting life. In addition, it was Jesus you laid his life down for us. No one could do any harm to him, only if he allowed it.
Jesus Christ was the Lamb of God sent to take away our sins. Jesus took our sin to the cross. The cross was the altar of redemption for mankind. It was through Christ laying his own life down willing that we can be saved through his blood.
Jesus Christ made himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in the appearance as a man, He humbled himself and become obedient to the point of death, even the death of the Cross. It was Jesus Christ who laid his life down. It was Jesus Christ who made himself of no reputation; it was Jesus Christ who took on a form of a bondservant. It was Jesus Christ who came in the likeness of men. It was Jesus Christ who was found in the appearance as a man. It was Jesus Christ who humbled himself to redeem man. It was Jesus Christ who was obedient to the point of death. It was Jesus who laid his life down through the death of the cross. –Phil. 2:5-11.
It was Jesus Christ who came to do the will of his father. God so loves this world that he sent his Son to suffer and to the death of the cross. Jesus Christ prays not his own will be done but His Father’s will be done. The will of the Father was to redeem you back to him.
If those who were servants in Christ suffering and death of the cross know that were crucified the Lord of glory they will not have done this. This was hidden from there eyes. So they will not be able to stop God’s holy work the death of the Cross. –1 Cor. 2:6-8.
Our sins did not murder Christ, instead it was Christ who came to take away our sins and set us free from them through his willing death of the cross. It was not Rome who murders Jesus Christ, instead they were doing God’s will, and they were servants of the Father’s holy work the death of the cross. It was not the Jews who murder Christ; instead it was through their high priest that Christ could redeem not only his people, but also the world to Christ.
The Gospel of Christ Jesus is a Jewish gospel. Our Christian faith is a Jewish faith. Our Bible is a Jewish Bible. Christ is a Jew, the twelve apostles are Jews, and Apostle Paul was also a Jew. We are to love those whom God use to bring Christ to us. Let us love the Jewish people for in the future Christ will restore them to Himself and bring a union between the church and Israel.
Do you know Jesus Christ has your Lord and Savior? If you would like to come to know him today pray this prayer with me: Lord Jesus I believe that you are the Son of God, I believe that you die for me. I believe that you rose from the dead for me. I believe you are coming back again for me. Forgive me of my sins, and come into to my life. Help me to live for you all the days of my life.
Furthermore, we as Christians need understand and those in the World that no one murder Christ. It is that Christ gives his life for us. It is that Christ obeys the will of his Father.
We are to remember Jesus Christ’s death at the cross, the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ and the His second coming. This foundation and through the truth that we are saved through him is the simplicity that is in Christ. There is a pure and undefiled religion, which is based upon the essentials of the Christian faith.
This pure and undefiled religion is not of any one Christian group in Christ; instead it is the body of Christ. Many Christian groups in Christ oneness. These essentials are the foundation for Christian unity. The building blocks of unity are the essentials, vision, Holy Spirit, apostles, prayer, worship, and a true relationship with Christ.
Apart from that, the foundation of our faith and hope rest upon one truth, which is the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Anyone who is a teacher, priest or a pastor that does not teach this truth you are not to listen to them. Those who say they are Christians and don’t believe in this truth they are lies.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a fact. No one can ever disprove this undeniable truth. Ever one who try to disprove this fact in history they them self came to the revelation of the Truth.
However, those who don’t believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and teach against this foundational truth they have evil spirits working behind them. We as true Christians are too diligent contend earnestly for the faith. –Jude 3.
Christ die for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. After that He seen by James, then by all the apostles. Then last of all He was seen by me also; as by one born out of due time. –1 Cor. 15:3-8.
Do you see what I see here in First Corinthians 15:3-8 the words according to the Scriptures. The Bible is God’s Word. In the Old Testament there are prophetic words about Jesus that when Jesus came to Earth he fulfilled them all. As you read the four gospels in the New Testament you will read the story of Christ it is all-true!
Who are the witnesses of the resurrection of Jesus Christ? They are Cephas, the twelve apostles of the Lamb; they are the five hundred brethren, then James the Elder, and all the other apostles, and after all those Jesus appeared to Apostle Paul.
Apart from that, what are the application and significance of the death, buried and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ? Because he lives, we live, because he was raised from the dead, we will be raised from the dead, The Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is made available to quicken our mortal bodies, the power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to believers to exercise over the devil, through water baptism we identify ourselves with Christ and testify that we are raised to newness of life and are seeking heavenly things, We can patiently wait for His return, and our faith and hope is grounded in this important truth.
Moreover, the second coming of Christ is a fact, is a truth, if you called yourself a Christian and don’t believe in his return you are evil and the Spirit of God in not in you. We will see many signs before his coming. Jesus first coming was as a child and his second coming will be in glory. This return will be a visible return of Christ with his saints and his angels. The Word says; “for the Son of Man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels. –Matt. 16:27.
Apart from that, the Holy Spirit is ministering to you as you read and hear this sermon today. If you don’t know Jesus has your Lord and savior pray with me today. Lord Jesus I come to you and I ask you to forgive me of my sins and I ask you to set me free from sin and the devil. I repent of my sins and ask you to wash them away with your holy blood. I ask you to come into my life today. I ask you to be Lord over my life and I ask you to help me to obey your Word the bible for the rest of my life amen.
Furthermore, This is a time to gathering around the holy cross of Christ. This is the time to remember what Christ did for us. This is the time for us who have been living a sinful life to return to Christ and repent and sin no more. This is the time for those who do not know Christ yet to come to know him. This is a time for unity in the Body of Christ.

Who are the witnesses of the resurrection of Jesus Christ? They are Cephas, the twelve apostles of the Lamb; they are the five hundred brethren, then James the Elder, and all the other apostles, and after all those Jesus appeared to Apostle Paul.
Apart from that, what are the application and significance of the death, buried and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ? Because he lives, we live, because he was raised from the dead, we will be raised from the dead, The Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is made available to quicken our mortal bodies, the power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to believers to exercise over the devil, through water baptism we identify ourselves with Christ and testify that we are raised to newness of life and are seeking heavenly things, We can patiently wait for His return, and our faith and hope is grounded in this important truth.
Moreover, the second coming of Christ is a fact, is a truth, if you called yourself a Christian and don’t believe in his return you are evil and the Spirit of God in not in you. We will see many signs before his coming. Jesus first coming was as a child and his second coming will be in glory. This return will be a visible return of Christ with his saints and his angels. The Word says; “for the Son of Man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels. –Matt. 16:27.
Apart from that, the Holy Spirit is ministering to you as you read and hear this sermon today. If you don’t know Jesus has your Lord and savior pray with me today. Lord Jesus I come to you and I ask you to forgive me of my sins and I ask you to set me free from sin and the devil. I repent of my sins and ask you to wash them away with your holy blood. I ask you to come into my life today. I ask you to be Lord over my life and I ask you to help me to obey your Word the bible for the rest of my life amen.
Furthermore, This is a time to gathering around the holy cross of Christ. This is the time to remember what Christ did for us. This is the time for us who have been living a sinful life to return to Christ and repent and sin no more. This is the time for those who do not know Christ yet to come to know him. This is a time for unity in the Body of Christ.
