JESUS CHRIST as the redeemer (Messiah), while on earth and by the Holy Spirit knew precisely what awaited Him! That by the devious actions of the Jews He would be hated, tortured and murdered (crucified).

Knowing all this, Jesus prepared Himself as the firstborn and without blemish. With love did He prepare Himself, to become the perfect substitute, a sacrifice for the redemption of mankind, including the Jews! But to this day, the Jews rejected this redeeming love and thus rejected GOD!

Therefore Jesus said: “ For all the prophets and the Law of Moses prophesied until John the Baptist. ” (Matt. 11:13)  

In other words; until John the Baptist came on the scene, the Jews were judged by their works, according to the Law of Moses! That is why, when Jesus Christ came into the world, He said to God, “You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings. But You have given Me a body to offer. You were not pleased with burnt offerings or other offerings for sin.

Then I said, ‘Look, I have come to do Your will, O God—as is written about Me in the Scriptures.’”

First, Christ said, “You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings or burnt offerings or other offerings for sin, nor were You pleased with them” (though they are required by the law of Moses). Then He said, “Look, I have come to do Your will.” He cancels the first covenant in order to put the second into effect. For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.

Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, this can never take away sins.

But our High Priest (Jesus Christ) offered Himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, effective for all time. Then He sat down in the place of honour at God’s right hand. There He waits until his enemies are humbled and made a footstool for His feet.

For by that one offering He forever made perfect those who are being made holy. And the Holy Spirit also testifies that this is so. For He says, “This is the new covenant I will make with My people on that day, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”

Then He says, “I will never again remember their sins and lawless deeds.” And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices . (Heb.10: 5-18)

In this way, God qualified Him as a perfect High Priest, and He became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey Him. And God designated Him to be a High Priest in the order of Melchizedek. (Heb. 5:9-10)

There were many priests under the old system, for death prevented them from remaining in office.   But because Jesus lives forever, His Priesthood lasts forever.

Therefore He is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through Him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf. He is the kind of High Priest we need because He is holy and blameless, unstained by sin. He has been set apart from sinners and has been given the highest place of honour in heaven. Unlike those other high priests, He does not need to offer sacrifices every day. They did this for their own sins first and then for the sins of the people. But Jesus did this once for all when He offered himself as the sacrifice for the people’s sins.

The Law of Moses appointed high priests who were limited by human weakness. But after the Law was given, God appointed His Son with an oath, and His Son has been made the perfect High Priest forever. (Heb. 7: 1-28)

However it is the cross of Golgotha that became the altar, which bears witness thereof that Jesus, with utter devotion gave Himself unreservedly without remorse, unto GOD, to become that substitute. A Substitute of innocence and love, the most perfect well pleasing sacrifice unto GOD! Which, with the shedding of His life giving blood; made atonement to GOD for the sins and trespasses of all of mankind!

It is this same cross of Golgotha which became witness against these self-righteous and loveless Jews! Who spurned their one and only Messiah, Jesus Christ! It follows that they spurned the love of GOD for them; for more than 2000 years to this day!

The innocent and life giving blood of Jesus Christ was shed upon this earth, for the forgiveness of our sins and pardon of GOD. This blood is not in heaven, as some Christians want to believe, for this is a religion of pagan worship!

Jesus, who by birth is of the lineage a direct descendent of King David, was not accepted by the Jews as the Messiah! As a result the atoning blood of the only Saviour for mankind was shed on the cross of Golgotha!

If this life-giving blood that was shed by Jesus, is deemed unworthy in any way, or is violated in a manner of disrespect or misused for whatever common reason! “The lord will judge His own people.” It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living GOD! (Heb. 10: 26-31)

THE EVENTUAL RETURN OF JESUS - DAY OF JUDGMENT FOR THE NATIONS!
