I am thankful that the baffling, deceiving and lying wind of self was crucified at the Cross, and the resurrection REVEALED the reality of who we have ALWAYS been in/as Christ.

The 7 Bleeding Spots ABSORBED and the Resurrection REVEALED At the Cross:

In Gethsemane-- Absorbed our struggle/wrestling in prayer, and REVEALED our posture of rest in prayer. (#1)

Pulled out His Beard-- Absorbed our veiled awareness, and REVEALED our ability to see and hear the truth by the Spirit. (#2)

Crown of Thorns-- Absorbed our distorted thinking/amnesia, REVEALING that we have always had the Christ Mind. (#3)

Whipped & Scourged-- Identified with all sickness and pain, REVEALING that our Father IS and has
always been our health. (#4)

Nails in Hands & Feet-- Absorbed our 'works of religion' and 'walk of religion' REVEALING spiritual reality
producing Godly works (believing) and walk. (#5)

Beat with sticks/palms-- Absorbed persecution we encounter for embracing the truth, REVEALING we do not have to be intimidated by religions rejection. (#6)

Pierced His side-- Absorbed false sense of identity,
REVEALING our being birthed out of Him from before the foundation of the world. (#7)

The number 7 denoting fullness, reveals that Jesus FULLY identified and absorbed all of our amnesia (forgetfulness) and forgetting of who we always were, and in His resurrection REVEALED the truth of our eternal being.

This is the Gospel from an eternal perspective. Hebrews 9:12 records that 'His blood OBTAINED eternal redemption for us'. The word 'obtained' means: To see; To perceive; To find, (or to discover). Through His resurrection we discover something that has always been the truth about us; because if anything has been the truth, then it has always been the truth. That which was ETERNAL was revealed IN TIME (through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ), that we might EXPERIENCE who we were created to be. We are not a sinner saved by grace. We were created holy, righteous from the beginning in His image and likeness.

Ecclesiastes 7:29 Behold, I have found only this, that God made men upright, but they have sought out many devices.”

Hebrews 9:12 New King James Version (NKJV)

¹²Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

Notice having obtained--This particular verb with having is known as a perfect participle. As the site indicates, it more or less expresses an action that was, is completed.

Jesus, in His death, identified and ABSORBED (eradicated) the lie/lies of religion, and in His resurrection REVEALED the truth. That is why it is a finished work. That is a generalization of what the death, burial and resurrection was about. For example, all of the religious lies which we have believed in our lifetime were EXPOSED as lies, absorbed and crucified in His death. Then in His resurrection the truth was revealed. He came to reveal the heart of the Father concerning everything that involves our life.

For example, if one experiences condemnation or guilt in life, he has exhumed, (but only in HIS MIND), the lies that Jesus absorbed in His death. That can be called, 'living in the PAST'. Paul the Apostle recorded that we are to 'forget the past and press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling', which is that which has always been true of us, and of which Jesus REVEALED in His resurrection. Then if one is experiencing worry, he is living in the FUTURE, and is concerning himself with what could happen, instead of trusting in his Oneness, and that Christ is all, as all, within him NOW. The future has been taken care of.

When we came here as infants and children, we knew nothing of guilt, condemnation or worry. That's why Jesus said that the Kingdom of God was as a little child. Children live from the inside, out, spontaneously. It was later on in life that we were taught the lies of religion that brought a sense of separation, doubt, condemnation and worry. At that time we slowly became an amnesiac FORGETTING what had always been true of us. As Colossians 1:21 states, we were alienated and enemies IN OUR MIND. Jesus went to the Cross identifying with, exposing, and ABSORBING those lies which we were told; and then in His resurrection He REVEALED the Father's eternal perspective about us. Over and over He Himself said: "When you've seen Me, you have seen the Father." In other words, "You have seen the Father's perspective about your life." Jesus willingly laid down His life to reveal the love of the Father. If we truly want to see the Father, we must look at Jesus. The incarnation of Jesus revealed what the Father is like. He never saw us separate. He never saw us as a sinner. He never saw us unrighteous or unholy. WE SAW OURSELVES AS LACKING AND IN TOTAL DEPRAVITY. That is the reason we needed the Cross. Jesus' resurrection revealed that we have always had the Mind of Christ, and that as we 'put it on' it will swallow up the lies of religion in our EXPERIENCE, that have kept us in bondage. Paul the Apostle recorded that we are to 'be renewed in the spirit of our Mind' (heart) or, that we are to 'put on' the Mind that is in our spirit.

Ephesians 4:23-24 Version (NKJV) and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, ²⁴and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

Let us sow seeds of TRUTH into our heart awareness, which Jesus' resurrection revealed, and never again try to exhume the lies (in our mind) that have been brought to naught through His death.

Col 1:21
