- 1:40Speaker 1: hope in the darkness, a man in the throes of sin,
- 1:45Speaker 1: a man and Satan's grip. But Jesus came and loosed
- 1:49Speaker 1: us and set us free. And heed, whom the Son
- 1:53Speaker 1: sets free is free. Indeed, thank God again for this

- 3:04Speaker 1: Today all about Jesus. And today our focus is on
- 3:09Speaker 1: the necessity of Jesus, the necessity of Jesus the Christ. Amen.
- 3:15Speaker 1: If anyone is to be saved, it is through it
- 3:19Speaker 1: is by It is because of Jesus Christ him alone.
- 3:25Speaker 1: He is the one who made the declaration. I am
- 3:28Speaker 1: the Way, the Truth, and the life. No one comes
- 3:32Speaker 1: to the Father but by me. Before we begin, by
- 3:36Speaker 1: the way. If you have your Bible, you can go
- 3:37Speaker 1: with us to the Gospel of John chapter number one.
- 3:39Speaker 1: We're going to be reading a few verses there. But
- 3:42Speaker 1: as always, of course, let us take a moment Amen,
- 3:45Speaker 1: in prayer to the Lord, our god Father. Again, we
- 3:49Speaker 1: are grateful. I love you with an everlasting love, as
- 3:54Speaker 1: you have loved us, rather with an everlasting love. And
- 3:57Speaker 1: we love you because you loved us, and you forgave
- 3:59Speaker 1: us and brought us into this great salvation. Because of
- 4:03Speaker 1: mercy and grace and love and compassion and forgiveness. Lord,
- 4:07Speaker 1: we are now the children of God, and we thank
- 4:09Speaker 1: you for that blood that was shed for the remission
- 4:12Speaker 1: of our sins. Help us now to walk worthy of
- 4:15Speaker 1: this calling of this vocation. Lord, to speak the truth
- 4:19Speaker 1: and love. And may these words amen, this gospel. Amen,
- 4:24Speaker 1: You're amen. Word that you've sent forth, May it prosper
- 4:28Speaker 1: Lord in someone's heart today, that someone will be obedient
- 4:32Speaker 1: to hear the voice of the Savior calling them Amen,
- 4:35Speaker 1: into this great Kingdom and glory, God, be glory, finding
- 4:40Speaker 1: your people everywhere were your thanks for all things. Amen
- 4:43Speaker 1: and amen. The Gospel of John, chapter number one. We'll
- 4:47Speaker 1: pick it up at verse number six. There was a
- 4:50Speaker 1: man sent from God whose name was John. The same
- 4:56Speaker 1: came for a witness to bear witness of the light
- 5:00Speaker 1: that all men through him might believe. He was not
- 5:04Speaker 1: that light, but was sent to bear witness of that
- 5:08Speaker 1: light that was the true light, which lighteth every man
- 5:15Speaker 1: that cometh into the world. He was in the world,
- 5:19Speaker 1: and the world was made by him, and the world
- 5:23Speaker 1: knew him not. He came unto his own, and his
- 5:28Speaker 1: own received him not. But as many as received him
- 5:33Speaker 1: to them gave he power to become the sons of God,
- 5:37Speaker 1: even to them that believe on his name, which were
- 5:42Speaker 1: born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
- 5:46Speaker 1: nor of the will of man, but of God. And
- 5:50Speaker 1: the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and
- 5:53Speaker 1: we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only
- 5:57Speaker 1: begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John
- 6:03Speaker 1: bear witness of him and cried, saying, this was he
- 6:08Speaker 1: of whom I spake. He that cometh after me is
- 6:12Speaker 1: preferred before me, for he was before me. And of
- 6:17Speaker 1: his fullness have we all received and grace for grace
- 6:23Speaker 1: for the law was given by Moses, but grace and
- 6:27Speaker 1: truth came by Jesus Christ. The necessity of Jesus coming
- 6:37Speaker 1: into the world, Amen. And we're going to focus just
- 6:45Speaker 1: on four Amen, very very necessary reasons why that Jesus came.
- 6:52Speaker 1: There are others, but our focus today is going to
- 6:55Speaker 1: be on these four things. Number one condemnation, number two Amen, darkness,
- 7:03Speaker 1: number three mediation, and number four blood atonement. Amen. Number one,
- 7:13Speaker 1: Jesus came into this world because all men, first and
- 7:18Speaker 1: foremost are under condemnation. And why are we under condemnation
- 7:23Speaker 1: because of sin that is in our dna and we
- 7:29Speaker 1: have no ability. We have no not only do we
- 7:32Speaker 1: not have the ability, we don't even have the wherewithal
- 7:35Speaker 1: within us the well, Amen, Amen, and the desire if
- 7:42Speaker 1: you will to fully obey the law of God. Now
- 7:45Speaker 1: God gave us the law. Amen. The law simply pointed
- 7:49Speaker 1: out our sin and made us guilty, showed us our guilt.
- 7:54Speaker 1: But the law could not save us. And that is
- 7:58Speaker 1: why it was necessy for Jesus Christ to come to
- 8:03Speaker 1: deliver us from this condemnation. Romans eight, verse one tells us,
- 8:09Speaker 1: So if you have your bibles, you can see for yourself,
- 8:12Speaker 1: read it for yourself. There is therefore now no condemnation. Remember,
- 8:18Speaker 1: we are under condemnation because the law condemns us. The
- 8:22Speaker 1: law tells us thou shalt not. We don't have the
- 8:26Speaker 1: power to resist, to overcome, Amen, the forces of evil,
- 8:34Speaker 1: the forces and the power of sin. Paul said in
- 8:38Speaker 1: Romans chapter seven, as a matter of fact, when I
- 8:40Speaker 1: would do good, evil is present with me. I desire.
- 8:45Speaker 1: There is something in me that makes me to know.
- 8:49Speaker 1: I know that the law of God is good. I
- 8:51Speaker 1: know what I ought to do. But Amen, there is
- 8:55Speaker 1: a war in my members. Amen, and it brings me
- 9:00Speaker 1: into captivity to the law of sin and death. Amen.
- 9:03Speaker 1: And so we don't have the ability. We don't have
- 9:06Speaker 1: it in us, Amen, to overcome a man. The desire
- 9:11Speaker 1: of sin, the lust of the flesh, the lust of
- 9:14Speaker 1: the eyes, and the pride of life, all of those
- 9:16Speaker 1: things that draw us away from a man being a
- 9:21Speaker 1: man holy and righteous and acceptable to God. Amen. We
- 9:25Speaker 1: can't do it on our own, we don't have it.
- 9:28Speaker 1: So in Christ, Amen, we can be a man delivered
- 9:33Speaker 1: from this condemnation. The Bible tells us again Roman chapter eight,
- 9:38Speaker 1: verse one. There is therefore now no condemnation to those
- 9:43Speaker 1: who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according
- 9:46Speaker 1: to the flesh, but according to the spirit. That's what
- 9:51Speaker 1: the Bible says about the law. There are two laws
- 9:53Speaker 1: at work, the law spirit of life and the law
- 9:55Speaker 1: of sin and death. Two laws at work. You're either
- 9:59Speaker 1: being govern and lead and living under one or the other.
- 10:05Speaker 1: You're either under an end and being led by the
- 10:10Speaker 1: law of life, the spirit of life. Brother, that is
- 10:13Speaker 1: in Christ Jesus, or you are under the law of
- 10:16Speaker 1: sin and death. And by the way we were born
- 10:20Speaker 1: shaping in iniquity under the law of sin and death,
- 10:25Speaker 1: we inherited that from Adam. This is one the Bible
- 10:29Speaker 1: says again verse number two of eight Romant eight. For
- 10:32Speaker 1: the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
- 10:37Speaker 1: has made me free from the law of sin and death.
- 10:41Speaker 1: The law sin and death condemns us. Sin in our dna,
- 10:46Speaker 1: sin and our members. A man causes death, the Lord
- 10:51Speaker 1: said to Adam, and the day that you sin, thou
- 10:53Speaker 1: shalt surely die. All have sinned and fallen short of
- 10:57Speaker 1: the glory of God. A man. But the Bible teaches
- 11:01Speaker 1: us and the law again came to a man not
- 11:04Speaker 1: to save us, because the law cannot save anyone. Amen.
- 11:09Speaker 1: And again the law, the perfect law of God, demands
- 11:13Speaker 1: our obedience. But the problem is we don't have the
- 11:16Speaker 1: ability to do it. Amen. We don't have the ability
- 11:20Speaker 1: to obey the law of God fully. Amen. So this
- 11:23Speaker 1: is why Jesus came to free us from this condemnation
- 11:27Speaker 1: a man. That the law brings on us. What the
- 11:30Speaker 1: Bible says verse number three For what the law could
- 11:33Speaker 1: not do. The law could not free us. The law
- 11:38Speaker 1: could not save us. The law could not deliver us.
- 11:42Speaker 1: The law could not set us free. Amen. The law
- 11:45Speaker 1: could not help us to a man to overcome the
- 11:49Speaker 1: urges a man the power of Amen, the temptations of
- 11:55Speaker 1: the flesh and of the devil. Amen. The law. What
- 11:59Speaker 1: the law could not do, and that it was weak
- 12:02Speaker 1: through the flesh, God did by sending his own son
- 12:07Speaker 1: in the likeness of sinful flesh on account of sin.
- 12:12Speaker 1: He condemned sin in the flesh. Instead of sin condemning us,
- 12:21Speaker 1: Jesus condemned sin for us. Jesus condemned sin in the flesh,
- 12:30Speaker 1: that the righteous requirement of the law verse four might
- 12:35Speaker 1: be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to
- 12:38Speaker 1: the flesh, but according to the spirit. So those of
- 12:42Speaker 1: us who are in Christ Jesus. And again, this is
- 12:45Speaker 1: the only way that you can be free from condemnation
- 12:50Speaker 1: is in Christ Jesus. If you're not in Christ Jesus, Amen,
- 12:58Speaker 1: you are under the law of sin and death. And
- 13:02Speaker 1: the condemnation, by the way, does not come from being
- 13:08Speaker 1: a sinner, but from being a sinner who refuses God's
- 13:15Speaker 1: free gift of eternal life. And for this I take
- 13:18Speaker 1: you to the Gospel of John, very familiar passage, Chapter
- 13:23Speaker 1: number three, verse number sixteen. Everyone knows John three sixteen,
- 13:29Speaker 1: But is the following verses that are far more relevant
- 13:34Speaker 1: to this condemnation that men find themselves under. For God
- 13:41Speaker 1: to love the world, that he gave his only begotten son,
- 13:45Speaker 1: that whosoever believed in him should not perish, but have
- 13:51Speaker 1: everlasting life. However, listen to these words that followed that
- 13:58Speaker 1: Jesus spoke. For God did not send his son into
- 14:03Speaker 1: the world to condemn the world. Jesus didn't come to condemn.
- 14:09Speaker 1: He came to save. Listen what the Bible says. These
- 14:13Speaker 1: are the worst of Jesus. God did not send his
- 14:16Speaker 1: son into the world to condemn the world, but that
- 14:18Speaker 1: the world through him might be saved. He that believeth
- 14:24Speaker 1: on him is not condemned. He that believeth on Jesus
- 14:35Speaker 1: is not condemned. But he that believeth not is condemned
- 14:42Speaker 1: already because he hath not believed in the name of
- 14:50Speaker 1: the only begotten Son of God. Now, wait a minute,
- 14:53Speaker 1: he's not finished. He's not finished, Jesus says in verse nineteen.
- 14:59Speaker 1: And this, this is the condemnation. Now, the condemnation, again,
- 15:03Speaker 1: is not because you're a sinner. The condination is not
- 15:06Speaker 1: because you were born in sin. It's not because you
- 15:08Speaker 1: inherited the Dna of Adam. Is not because you love sin,
- 15:14Speaker 1: the pleasures of this world, the pleasures of lust and
- 15:16Speaker 1: all of that. No, no, no, that's not the condemnation.
- 15:19Speaker 1: This is the condemnation. Jesus says that light is come
- 15:27Speaker 1: into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light
- 15:35Speaker 1: because their deeds were evil. In other words, the condemnation
- 15:40Speaker 1: comes because you reject the gift. You reject the one
- 15:46Speaker 1: who can free you from the condemnation. You reject the
- 15:50Speaker 1: Son of God who has been sent into the world
- 15:53Speaker 1: that you do not perish, but have everlasting life. This
- 15:57Speaker 1: is the condemnation a man, that light has come into
- 16:05Speaker 1: the world, which takes us by the way into necessity
- 16:09Speaker 1: number two, the darkness. You see, ladies and gentlemen, we
- 16:14Speaker 1: are born into the darkness of a world that is
- 16:17Speaker 1: in the throes of the darkness that is again brought
- 16:23Speaker 1: on by sin and perpetuated by Satan, who is the
- 16:27Speaker 1: printing power of the air that wicked one. A man
- 16:31Speaker 1: who again all of the temptations, all of the lust,
- 16:36Speaker 1: all of the wickedness, and the evil of the forces
- 16:39Speaker 1: of the darkness of this world, led by Satan, a
- 16:43Speaker 1: man continues a man to work in man. Now, please
- 16:48Speaker 1: understand also just in the nature of man himself, a man,
- 16:55Speaker 1: there is evil already, a man there's rebellion already Satan.
- 17:00Speaker 1: Only as the tempter continues to stir up in man
- 17:06Speaker 1: a man, and to work in man, and to move
- 17:09Speaker 1: in man, and to agitate and to a man further
- 17:13Speaker 1: facilitate the darkness that we are in. And without Christ
- 17:18Speaker 1: Jesus coming into the world, all men would forever be
- 17:23Speaker 1: blinded and groping in this darkness under the influence of
- 17:29Speaker 1: the powers, the principalities, the spiritual wickedness that is lurking,
- 17:34Speaker 1: that is working a man in this world, a man
- 17:38Speaker 1: again fall in world because of Adam's transgression. That Satan,
- 17:44Speaker 1: who the Bible speaks of as the God of this world.
- 17:47Speaker 1: He is the one who blinds the minds of men
- 17:53Speaker 1: a man and keeps them in the darkness. Our separation
- 17:58Speaker 1: from God is what initially a man if you will
- 18:03Speaker 1: threw us into the darkness, that is what sin separates
- 18:08Speaker 1: us from God. Amen. Sin is the great divide Amen.
- 18:14Speaker 1: And so our separation from God has left us in
- 18:18Speaker 1: a darkness, a man mired and groping with no hope. Amen.
- 18:23Speaker 1: And only the light of the glory of God, Amen,
- 18:29Speaker 1: can cause these scales to fall from our eyes, which
- 18:34Speaker 1: takes us to media. I'm sorry, necessity number three of
- 18:38Speaker 1: Jesus coming into this word mediation, Amen. See, because we
- 18:43Speaker 1: by nature are children of wrath, the Bible tells us.
- 18:47Speaker 1: And because our sin and rebellion has separated us from God,
- 18:53Speaker 1: we need it away, Amen, to bridge this great cat
- 19:00Speaker 1: that sin opened up when Adam again disobeyed God. See
- 19:08Speaker 1: the problem is, the Bible tells us, these are the
- 19:11Speaker 1: words of the scriptures. Ladies and gentlemen, all we like sheep,
- 19:15Speaker 1: have gone astray. There is none righteous, no not one.
- 19:19Speaker 1: There is no one who seeks after God, none, no one.
- 19:28Speaker 1: And this is why the Bible says, Jesus said this,
- 19:31Speaker 1: The Son of Man came to seek and to save
- 19:34Speaker 1: that which was lost. We were not seeking for him, Amen,
- 19:38Speaker 1: He came seeking for us. Amen. We have no desire
- 19:43Speaker 1: in us, In and of ourself, we have no desire
- 19:46Speaker 1: to come to God. As a matter of fact, we
- 19:49Speaker 1: are running away from Him. So if this breach, if
- 19:53Speaker 1: this chasm, if this great divide is to be repaired,
- 19:57Speaker 1: if there's to be restoration, it had come from outside
- 20:02Speaker 1: of man. It had to come from outside of us,
- 20:06Speaker 1: because again, we have no ability, no desire. And how
- 20:10Speaker 1: could we How can we come to God when we
- 20:16Speaker 1: are running away from him? Amen, all of us. Again,
- 20:20Speaker 1: the Bible makes it clear gone astray. Amen, running away
- 20:25Speaker 1: from God and Jesus was necessary and is necessary. Amen.
- 20:33Speaker 1: As the repairer and the restorer of this great divide,
- 20:37Speaker 1: he alone is the mediator, the one and only. The
- 20:40Speaker 1: Bible speaks of this, the one and only mediator between
- 20:44Speaker 1: God and man. No priest, Amen can make atonement for you,
- 20:52Speaker 1: can bridge the divide, can put away your sins. A
- 20:56Speaker 1: man can atone for your sin. No man, no man
- 20:59Speaker 1: can do this. No man can do this. Amen, Only Jesus. Amen,
- 21:06Speaker 1: he alone is the mediator between God and man. And
- 21:11Speaker 1: without him, apart from him, you don't live. You don't
- 21:15Speaker 1: have life. Your sins are not forgiven, Amen, Your sins,
- 21:19Speaker 1: which brings us to necessity number four, are not atoned for.
- 21:24Speaker 1: Necessity number four of Jesus coming into this world is
- 21:29Speaker 1: the blood atonement. Now. The Bible is clear about this.
- 21:35Speaker 1: The life of all men, the matter of fact, the
- 21:38Speaker 1: life of all living flesh is in the blood. Now,
- 21:44Speaker 1: the problem for us is that the blood of all
- 21:48Speaker 1: men is tainted with the sin gene that we inherited
- 21:54Speaker 1: from Adam. In our dna is blood, in ours is death.
- 22:03Speaker 1: The blood of man has a limited life expectancy, no
- 22:09Speaker 1: matter how much you do in and of yourself, and
- 22:14Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with trying to eat healthy, exercise, do
- 22:20Speaker 1: all of these things that will hopefully enhance your life
- 22:24Speaker 1: and your days and your expectancy.
- 22:27Speaker 2: Death is in your blood, and your blood has a
- 22:34Speaker 2: limited life expectancy.
- 22:39Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, the Bible is very clear
- 22:41Speaker 1: about this. It is a pointed unto man wants to die.
- 22:44Speaker 1: There is an appointment that each and every one of
- 22:47Speaker 1: us has, and we will die. Every man is living
- 22:54Speaker 1: under the sentence of death. And the problem for us
- 22:59Speaker 1: is no man has the ability to escape this sentence.
- 23:06Speaker 1: If you live seventy years, good, if by reason of
- 23:11Speaker 1: strength you live to be eighty, great few make it
- 23:15Speaker 1: to ninety. A handful, by comparison, make it to one hundred.
- 23:22Speaker 1: And very very very very few live past one hundred
- 23:30Speaker 1: years of life in our day today, very few men.
- 23:37Speaker 1: Your blood is tainted. Your blood has the DNA of
- 23:44Speaker 1: sin in it, and no one, none of us, have
- 23:51Speaker 1: the ability to cleanse, to purify, nor to escape from
- 23:57Speaker 1: this DNA that we even inherited this sin problem. And
- 24:05Speaker 1: there is no self sacrifice that any of us can
- 24:09Speaker 1: do that would be sufficient, that is sufficient to avert
- 24:16Speaker 1: this death sentence. Now, this is why it was necessary
- 24:24Speaker 1: for Jesus to come into the world. The blood that
- 24:30Speaker 1: circulated through the veins of the body of Jesus is
- 24:36Speaker 1: the blood of God, is the blood of God. Where
- 24:43Speaker 1: do I get that from Ephijian? I'm sorry, not Ephigians.
- 24:47Speaker 1: It was the apostle Paul who was speaking to the Ephesian
- 24:51Speaker 1: elders and Acts chapter twenty. I believe it is when
- 24:55Speaker 1: he gave this warning to them, to the Church of God.
- 25:03Speaker 1: Listen what he says, which he has purchased with his
- 25:07Speaker 1: own blood. Now, what do we mean, what do we know?
- 25:12Speaker 1: How do we I mean? What is this the blood
- 25:13Speaker 1: of God? God is spirit. A spirit doesn't have blood. Amen,
- 25:19Speaker 1: the blood of God is the blood of Jesus. Now
- 25:23Speaker 1: how is it Jesus being a man the blood of God. Well,
- 25:29Speaker 1: it was the miracle of the virgin birth, when Jesus
- 25:36Speaker 1: by the way of the incarnation, by the way he
- 25:38Speaker 1: already was in the beginning, was the word the work.
- 25:42Speaker 1: We read it already in our first Amen session, all
- 25:46Speaker 1: about Jesus, John chapter one, the Gospel of John. Jesus
- 25:51Speaker 1: always was as he said to the Jews before Abraham,
- 25:54Speaker 1: was I am in the beginning was the word words
- 25:57Speaker 1: with God, word was God. The same was in the
- 26:00Speaker 1: beginning with God. Jesus is the self existing, preexisting. Matter
- 26:08Speaker 1: of fact, the Bible makes it clear. He is the
- 26:11Speaker 1: lamb of God that was slain from the foundation of
- 26:14Speaker 1: the world. So the blood that was in the body
- 26:18Speaker 1: of Jesus, the body that he took on when he
- 26:21Speaker 1: came in the incarnation. And by the way, that was
- 26:24Speaker 1: not his first appearance on earth in the form of
- 26:28Speaker 1: a man. Nevertheless, that appearance, that incarnation that came through
- 26:36Speaker 1: the womb of Mary by way of the virgin birth.
- 26:40Speaker 1: Remember when the angel that was dispatched from heaven Gabriel,
- 26:44Speaker 1: came to Mary. When she asked a question, how can
- 26:47Speaker 1: this thing be? When she was informed that she was
- 26:49Speaker 1: going to be the mother of the Christ. The angel said,
- 26:53Speaker 1: the power of the Most High is going to come
- 26:57Speaker 1: upon you and overshadow you. And that thing that shall
- 27:01Speaker 1: be born, that holy thing that shall be born, is
- 27:06Speaker 1: shall be called the Son of God. So the virgin
- 27:12Speaker 1: birth happened by the power, the creative power of God
- 27:18Speaker 1: inside of the womb of Mary, bringing life. The blood
- 27:24Speaker 1: of every human being follows the blood line of the Father,
- 27:32Speaker 1: not the mother. Your blood, your blood type comes from
- 27:38Speaker 1: your Father. The blood, the life that comes inside of
- 27:46Speaker 1: us or of us to us, comes by way of
- 27:51Speaker 1: the far. There so the life that was inside of Mary,
- 27:58Speaker 1: which by the way, was not created God, Oh great
- 28:02Speaker 1: is the mystery of God. God, the Bible says, as
- 28:06Speaker 1: I believe we talked this in our last session, was
- 28:08Speaker 1: manifested in the flesh. This is God coming down in
- 28:13Speaker 1: the person of Jesus Christ. God was in Christ, the
- 28:17Speaker 1: Bible tells us. Amen. And so when Jesus came in
- 28:22Speaker 1: the incarnation, the blood that was in him was not
- 28:27Speaker 1: the blood that proceeded or came from Adam. He did
- 28:32Speaker 1: not come, He did not have, He did not proceed from,
- 28:37Speaker 1: if you will, the blood of man, the blood of
- 28:43Speaker 1: God was in him. And he said, well, how can
- 28:46Speaker 1: this be? How can this be? I don't nderstand, don't understand.
- 28:48Speaker 1: How about how about okay, let's take you back to Genesis.
- 28:50Speaker 1: When God created Adam, the first man. The Bible says,
- 28:55Speaker 1: he made He formed Adam from the dust of the earth. Now,
- 29:02Speaker 1: when God, if you go back and read the text,
- 29:05Speaker 1: when God finished the formation of atom, there was no
- 29:11Speaker 1: life in him. Adam was simply as it were, if
- 29:15Speaker 1: I may say so, a corpse without life, a body
- 29:21Speaker 1: without life. Now what happened? The Bible says that God
- 29:26Speaker 1: breathed into Adam the breath of life. Now again, where
- 29:33Speaker 1: what does the Bible brother say about the life of
- 29:37Speaker 1: the body. The life of the body of man is
- 29:41Speaker 1: the blood that flows through our veins. The blood that
- 29:47Speaker 1: is in us is what gives us life. So, if
- 29:52Speaker 1: you will, I believe what God breathed into Adam was
- 29:57Speaker 1: life giving bloodlood and Adam, the first man, Eve the
- 30:04Speaker 1: first woman who was taken out of Adam. Again, blood comes,
- 30:08Speaker 1: life comes from the man through the man. Oh my God,
- 30:12Speaker 1: Oh my God. If we can only understand God, when
- 30:18Speaker 1: he created Adam, he breathed life into him. Blood began
- 30:26Speaker 1: circulating through Adam, and that blood that was in Atom,
- 30:31Speaker 1: and that blood that was in Eve was not tainted.
- 30:35Speaker 1: They are the only human beings who've ever lived on
- 30:41Speaker 1: this earth who were not subjected to sin by way
- 30:49Speaker 1: of birth. They are the only individuals who lived sin free,
- 30:59Speaker 1: no core version of sin, no DNA, and their members
- 31:04Speaker 1: the only individuals who were perfectly without sin, in perfect
- 31:12Speaker 1: harmony with their creator, God, would come down to Adam
- 31:17Speaker 1: in the cool of the day. They had perfect fellowship
- 31:20Speaker 1: and union with God. But what happened the serpent, sin, darkness, separation,
- 31:31Speaker 1: blood tainted. And now we need a blood transfusion. And
- 31:39Speaker 1: that blood that circulated through the veins of the body
- 31:45Speaker 1: of Jesus is the life giving transfusion agent that transfers
- 31:55Speaker 1: new life to dead men, men who are dead in
- 32:03Speaker 1: their trespasses and sins. The Bible tells us, why are
- 32:05Speaker 1: we dead in our trespasses and sins, even though we
- 32:07Speaker 1: are breathing and walking and living and moving, because of
- 32:14Speaker 1: the sentence of death that is waiting to take us out.
- 32:21Speaker 1: You see, you can be living and breathing and moving
- 32:27Speaker 1: and operating, and yet you are dead. Why are you
- 32:31Speaker 1: dead because of sin and the death sentence that is
- 32:36Speaker 1: in your members? And what did Jesus come to do?
- 32:40Speaker 1: Blood atone, his death, his blood atonement, the shedding of
- 32:49Speaker 1: his blood at cavalry, atoned for our sins, gave life
- 33:00Speaker 1: for our tainted blood. And that is why if you
- 33:04Speaker 1: are in him, you have life. This is why Jesus said,
- 33:09Speaker 1: I've come that you might have life, and that you
- 33:12Speaker 1: might have it more abundantly but the only way that
- 33:16Speaker 1: you can have that life is through Jesus the Christ,
- 33:22Speaker 1: the one who is the mediator, the one who gave
- 33:24Speaker 1: his blood, the one who delivers from the darkness, because
- 33:28Speaker 1: he is the light of this world, and the one
- 33:31Speaker 1: who can free you from the condemnation of sin and death. Father, Again,
- 33:42Speaker 1: we thank you that Jesus, all about Jesus, all about
- 33:47Speaker 1: Jesus the Savior, who is the way of the truth
- 33:49Speaker 1: and the life. We thank you that he has come
- 33:51Speaker 1: that we might have this great, great, great door opened,
- 33:57Speaker 1: this salvation, this opportunity to come to you, to fall
- 34:03Speaker 1: down at your feet, O Lord, and receive the forgiveness
- 34:08Speaker 1: of our sins and the eternal life that is only
- 34:13Speaker 1: by you, the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Open eyes,
- 34:19Speaker 1: open ears, open hearts, is only you can do by
- 34:21Speaker 1: the power of your Holy Spirit. It's in the name
- 34:24Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ. We pray and give thanks for all things.
- 34:26Speaker 1: Amen and Amen.
