On the CROSS:
1. JESUS FINISHED THE TRANSGRESSION (Isa. 43:25; 53:5; Heb.
9:15 with Jn. 19:30)!
A Brief Scriptural Synopsis of the Finished Work of Christ:
* We are already cleansed and perfected by virtue of the
finished work! (Hebrews 10:14) "For by one offering He hath perfected
forever them that are sanctified." (Hebrews 10:14 Amplified Bible) "For
by a single offering He has forever completely cleansed and perfected those who
are consecrated and made holy."
* We are already sanctified by virtue of the blood of the
finished work! (Hebrews 13:12) "Wherefore Jesus also, that he might
sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate."
In the past I have always thought of sanctification as a
process, however the Word clearly states that I am sanctified by one offering
of the blood of Christ. So the process involved is not a process of being
sanctified, but rather a process of renewing my mind to the fact that I am
already sanctified!
* The work was finished before it even started (in a sense)!
(Hebrews 4:3) "...although the works were finished from the foundation of
the world." (Revelation 13:8) "..the Lamb slain from the foundation
of the world."
* We must appropriate the finished work by faith! (Hebrews
4:1-3) "Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering
into His rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the
gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit
them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have
believed do enter into rest..."
2. JESUS MADE AN END OF SINS (Matt. 1:21; Heb. 8:12 with Jn.
1:29; Heb. 9:26)!
3. JESUS MADE RECONCILIATION FOR INIQUITY (Rom. 5:10; Eph.
2:16; with 2 Cor. 5:19; Col. 1:19-20)!
4. JESUS BROUGHT IN EVERLASTING REIGHTEOUSNESS because He IS
everlasting righteousness (Rom. 10:3,10; 2 Cor. 5:21; Phil. 3:9 with 1 Cor.
1:30; Heb. 7:1-2)!
5. JESUS SEALED UP THE VISION AND THE PROPHECY, to fulfill
the law and the prophets, because He IS the vision and the prophecy, or Prophet
(see Isa. 29:10-11; Matt. 5:17-20; 11:13; Jn. 5:39; 6:27; 19:28-37; Acts 3:18;
26:17-19 with Hab. 2:3; Heb. 10:37; Matt. 5:17; Acts 3:22; Rev. 19:10)!
6. JESUS ANOINTED THE MOST HOLY because He IS the anointing (Spirit
of Christ) and the most holy-the “holy thing” (Lk. 1:35) and the “holy One”
(Acts 3:14; 1 Jn. 2:20). He ripped the Veil from the top to the bottom, opening
the way into the “holy of holies” (see Psa. 45:7; Isa. 61:1; Lk. 4:16-21; Acts
2:27; 4:27; 10:38 with Jn. 14:6; Rom. 1:4; Heb. 10:14,19-20).
