atonement-part1-propitiation
1st John 2:1-2
My little children, these things that I write to you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: and He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world!
Today we begin the section on Atonement- what this is - is the fact that sin costs so very much -from the very beginning sin took life away -that is what it does - Sin causes death - and if you don't believe just take a look around - none of us will be here forever- we all are leaving one day - our sins must be atoned for before that time -who or whom have we places our trust in? If we put stock in the things of this world -we are leaving them far behind - if we are searching for something other then JESUS -we will be disappointed - in each of us there is a God-shaped hole that only He can fill - we may try to fill it with other things - but this will never do - our sins cost us so much - it cost Jesus His very life! He was willing to go all the way for you and me - He died not just for our sins - but the sins of the whole world - HIS offer is open to everyone - He died when we still were sinners and did not know the truth - He came so far to save us - If you know HIM rejoice - if not - please pray and ask JESUS to come in and save you - HIS atonement for our sins paid the price in full! He became sin for us! The Propitiation is simply what JESUS did for us - HE become our substute-We deserve what HE endured - HE did it all for us - HE came down so far to take us up! He came from Heaven where He was at complete peace forever and ever -HE was willing to come on down to save us - HE would have done it for just one of us - He would have done it anyway! JESUS is LORD and in that HE knows all things- He has made a way for us to enter into HIS presence - and a way to be saved from our sins - the Atonement has been completed - its just up to us to take HIM up on HIS offer! Are you willing?
A SIDE NOTE:
The OLD TESTIMENT shows us a picture of our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST - the animals were scarficed for sins - that atonement was given year after year - JESUS only had to die once and be rose again! HE CAME TO SAVE US!
in CHRIST we are redeemed!
