The act of delivering or condition of being delivered, as from captivity, oppression, or danger; an opinion or decision communicated, esp. publicly; archaic, an utterance. Jesus the Christ, He is described in his exaltation, with His Great Kingdom that shall be Spiritual rather than temporal. Ps. 2, 21, 40, 110. In other places He is seen as suffering for all mankind in humiliation. Ps. 16, 22, 40. Later on the prophets show the Messiah as King and ruler of David's house, who would come to reform and restore the Church, as in Isa. 11, 40-66. The blessings of the restoration, however, will not be confined to Jews; the heathen are made to share them fully. Isa. 2, 66. Jesus Christ being both human and divine is fitted to be the true Saviour of mankind. In this, as in every action and character, he is shown to be "the wisdom and power of God unto salvation." As human, he reaches down to our natures, sympathises with us, shows us that God knows all of our feelings and weaknesses and sorrows and sins, brings God near to us, who otherwise could not realize the Infinite and Eternal as a Father and friend. He is divine, in order that He may be an all-powerful, all-loving Saviour, able and willing to defend us from every enemy, to subdue all temptations, to deliver from all sin, and to bring each of His people, and the whole church, into complete and final victory. He is to be the ruler of the entire world. The crucifixion planned by hearts full of hate remains the only way we have of ending hate that this world has ever seen. Jesus gathered up unto Himself the sins of the whole world, took them with Him to the cross, bore the guilt which no man can bear for Himself; satisfied whatever needed to be satisfied in the justice, holiness and love of God and finally made possible the full and complete forgiveness for every human being, in every age, under every condition for all eternity. The of God is the King of Kings Who rules by enslaving Himself and by dying for His whole creation. He stole the keys of hell, death and the grave and set the captives free. Just pray about it and realize that Jesus took His ministry out to the hopeless that the church rejected as unworthy and He proved that they could be saved, and quite easily at that. They had no pride or hope for heaven, that is what truly makes it a gift. They have no works to justify why they should recieve salvation, but cry to God in their hearts anyways. Like lambs led to the slaughter they have accepted that death is their fate without resistance. What lie has been put into our hearts by the false pens of scribes and the traditions of man that would have our King to be found insufficient, mocked, His mercy to be less than mercy, and His love to be a lie. Was His death to be for less than what it was worth? The King of Glory turned King of maybe. He didn't die for nothing, He sacrificed His life for everything, and each and every one of us. To accept less than this is to hang Him back upon the cross to crucify Him once again, and say that what He did was not good enough. Either Jesus was the perfect sacrifice, or He wasn't. Jesus came to save the world and die for all sin. Period. I believe that He has accomplished what He came to do. To say that He has not saved the world after that is what He came to do is to say that Jesus failed. Love never fails. The bad news is wrong! The world teaches us that God starts saving at the top, with the really good, really "easy" ones and works His way down to the more questionable characters. The people at the bottom have little to no hope of being saved. That is a house that is built on the sand. God starts at the bottom with a firm foundation and then builds His mansion upwards. It is not difficult for God to save anyone; it shows no awesome power to start building a roof before the foundation; and an awesome God could not do anything less for His creation than to apply first His unlimited love to the point of its greatest need. I am not willing for one to be lost. God is not either. If we expect Him to give us complete forgiveness, then we are completely forgiven when we completely forgive. For if we do this it will never again be a question which one of us shall be lost. And that is the way the Law of Love says it should be. The last shall be first and the least shall be the greatest. God does not judge us for what we do not know. If we knew better we could do better. We as Christians should know better, that these words are not the proclamation of a new "religion" but the fulfillment of the same faith we claim to have and should already know. It was the goal of our fore fathers to see to fruition their dreams of a salvation that would extend to all mankind. This is the God I serve, God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the Lord of my life Jesus Christ. They didn't believe that God would half way save His creation. I do not either. I cannot follow any other shepherd, for I am sure that if any sheep are lost Jesus will leave the others on the mountainside and search for the lost one until it is found. And when He does find it, truly, He rejoices over it more than the ones who were never lost. This world belongs to God and everything in it. Every knee will bow, every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord and King over all the earth. Can I get an "AMEN" ?

Amen, sister. I would like to share something that happened to me this morning. After praying I asked the Lord if He had anything to say to me. He led me to Luke 23:1-25 Th emphasis on verses 4 and 14, I have found no guilt in this man. These words just jumped out at me and I started weeping. The Lord spoke to me and said, I find no guilt in you, I paid the price. My heart literally broke. He is not saying those words just to me, He is saying them to the whole world. I find no guilt in this man/woman, I paid the price. What a Savior. Thank You for the blood My Love. There is no other name for Him but Amazing. God bless you mightily and may He continue to use you for His glory. ~Liz

Good post! Correction, excellent post! My first though upon reading it is if that all we need is faith the size of mustard seed, how small is our faith in accepting so far less the completion (complete, utter, final, absolute) victory afforded us in the sacrifice, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus? This post is a mirror to my belief, and too often I am found left wanting! Am I more than conqueror? Am I king and priest? Too often the answer is no...but because of the accountability of such reminders as this one, I am confident instating....not yet! Bravo Neet, dead-on!

Don't know about the honored vessel thing, I always just thought of myself as a desperately seeking converted heathen. But thanks for the compliment. God Bless you all.

Sister Anita, Thank God for your life.You are a prolific writer. Keep it up, sister. It is a gift God has given You for His body. Please use it wisely. Remember, God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. In addition, the Scipture says the gift of a man makes room for him, so my sister, it is a matter of time, your gift would make room for you and bring you before men and women that matters. I love to add you as one of my friends. You can contact me at BigChurch Thanks and God's blessings.

Hey Anita, this is a great challenge. Reaching the lost for Jesus is a continuous work we are all involved in even when waiting in a long line, in choosing movies we go to etc. I'm always amazed at what people are observing in me - what I do and say - sadly I don't always behave as Jesus would have me to. Have you noticed how many non-Christians have higher expectations of Christians than many Christians do?

Hey you guys thanks so much for posting and Praise God..., He is worthy to be praised in the highest. Yes, Edna, because we believe we are judged more harshly by non believers. But, get this, some believers even judge other believers along with non believers even more harsh. Judging involves a lack of forgiveness on behalf of the judge. If we only love(completely forgive) those who love us, how are we different than the rest of the world? Righteousness is incapable of unforgiveness. God is righteous and He wants us to be as Him. Sorry, got off on a tangent there, sista' LOL You make me think, I like that..., Have a good one. Hey, I wonder if you stood in place and run at the same time I stand in place and run if between the two of us on opposite ends of the world we could increase the rotation rate. Keep smiling, GBY Anita

Anita, The only effective witness for Jesus is the person who has fully accepted him, who is filled with the Spirit and under the direction of the Father. Words can be preached by anyone, but only the love of God dwelling within the soldier, will touch and will convince those who are blind. I can always forgive the unsaved, when I realize the blindness of their spiritual eyes. It helps me pray for their healing and prevents me from wanting to give them a good smack or shake. LOL

For the Scriptures says,As surely as I Live,says the Lord"' Every Knee will bow to me and Every tongue will confess allegiance to God" Yes ecah of us will have to give a personal account to God. So don't Condemn each other anymore. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not put an obstacle in another Christians path. Roman 15 11-12 Good Job Anita just a little Scripture God Led me to while I was Reding you Blog!

Ray, nada problemo. It takes no faith to believe God can fail and it takes exceeding faith to believe that He shall accomplish His Will. Thanks so much for coming to visit, brother and for taking the time to read and post. God Bless You in your great faith. Anita
