God our Sacrifice
God our Sacrifice
Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed.
Griefs-
sickness:—affliction(1), disease(2), grief(1), griefs(1), illness(3), sick(1), sickness(14), sicknesses(1).
Our sickness is sin
it is the effects of sin in our lives
God created us in His image
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
and he said about us
And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Sin fractured what God created good
Gen 3 the fall of man
“Did God actually say,”
Often times in our lives our identity is summed up in
others opinions of us
others actions towards us
hurtful speech spoken to us
all of these ask and challenge us
“Did God actually say”
“Did God actually say”
You are Good
you are valuable
you are forgiven
you are pure
you are beautiful
they challenge the ver things we think of ourselves
our identity gets defined by the sins of ourselves and of others
we allow others actions and words to tell us what we our
Rather than the God who created us
Rather than the God who created us
God speaks over our lives and say
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
and
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
there are no mistakes
Jesus came to take our sins and the effects of sin in our lives
“surely he bore our griefs” our sickness
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
He came as a sacrifice for us
that “by his stripes we might be healed”
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
But the battle is to truly surrender to God everything
often times we come and we lay down part of what we have been carrying but not all of it
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
What burdens have we been carrying
what sicknesses have we been holding onto
Jesus died for the wrongs that you have done just as much as he died for the depression or anxiety or the low-self esteem you are feeling.
He came so you could be a new creation
And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
Are you feeling dead?
Are you feeling dead?
are you battling thoughts that you know are no good?
do you struggle with the very question the serpent ask Eve
“did God really say?”
you are loved
you are beautiful
you have a purpose
Christ is saying come and lay it down and find healing
Christ is saying come and lay it down and find healing
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
God didn’t come when we perfect and had it all together
he came while we were stuck in sin
in our depression He offered a new life
in our cutting He took our stripes
in our anxiety He brought peace
in our fallenness He raised us up
in our brokenness he made us whole
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Christ walked this earth knows our weakness
he doesn’t condemn us
but says come to Me and Find new life
