"The One and Only Sacrificial Lamb"


“The One and Only Sacrificial Lamb”

 

For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the Righteousness of God.        2nd Corinthians 5:21

 

Jesus Christ, the ONLY SON of the LIVING GOD, is the ONE and ONLY SACRIFICIAL LAMB.  He is the ONLY WAY for ALL of mankind to obtain the SALVATION of their soul.  There is NO OTHER WAY for us to have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with GOD, except by accepting Jesus Christ as our SAVIOR and LORD.

 

It was the PLAN of God, for Jesus, the PERFECT, and SINLESS ONE to be able to shed His precious blood for the sins of ALL mankind.  In our verse of Scripture, it says: “For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew NO sin.”  This does NOT mean that Jesus physically became sin, but the Prophet Isaiah, in his prophecy on the MESSIAH, in Isaiah 53:6, says:  “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned---everyone to his own way; and the Lord, LAID on Him the INIQUITY of us ALL.”  So God ‘LAID’ on Christ, EVERY SIN, of EVERYONE, who has ever been born, and when He looked on HIS SON, what He saw was SIN PERSONIFIED, which made Him look AWAY from His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.  Therefore, He who knew NO SIN, became SIN, in the eyes of the HOLY RIGHTEOUS GOD.

 

And JESUS CHRIST became MANKIND’S SACRIFICIAL LAMB who takes away the SINS and gives us the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God.  And just as Jesus was treated as though He was a SINNER, in the eyes of God.  The TRUE BELIEVER is TREATED as RIGHTEOUS in the eyes of God, and will become RIGHTEOUS, when they receive their GLORIFIED bodies, when Jesus returns, and their SALVATION will be made COMPLETE. 

 

Jesus Christ bore the SINS of the TRUE BELIEVER, in order for them to bear His RIGHTEOUSNESS.  When God looks at you, does He see RIGHTEOUSNESS or SINFULNESS?  If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, then you do NOT possess the RIGHTEOUSNESS of CHRIST.  And your ETERNAL DESTINY is HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY of ESCAPE.  However, you NOW have the opportunity to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  BELIEVING, with ALL your HEART that, Jesus died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  Then CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  Then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION and Jesus Christ as your SACRIFICIAL LAMB, who will take away ALL your sins and give you the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
