-
Good Friday is the darkest day. In human history.
-
Is the brightest moment of divine?
-
Love. Brightest moment of divine love
-
one of the narratives about the death of Christ talked about
-
darkness that came upon the. Heart when Jesus yielded the
-
ghost. Why darkness?
-
Darkness. Because the matter of sin was
-
dealt with decisively. There was an exchange.
-
Of life. No, Shelley.
-
No, Shelley. That darkness came every that
-
day as a mark of an hand to eternal death.
-
O cocona Juan Y Ojano CIOs in she a Pereira O me.
-
As a mark, that divine intervention has come to bring
-
an end to eternal death. Whoever falls on the side of
-
darkness, on the side of eternal death, after all, did it by
-
choice. I mean, we pay.
-
How did this story of the cross, How did this story of matter, of
-
life and death? This morning by the grace of
-
God. Who read?
-
A lot of scriptures, it was no streets.
-
The breath of life and man became a living soul.
-
On life came by his breath. On your me, me yeh si ho imore
-
en yosi dia la yo con E Meanwhile latera E MiTo missing
-
no re. So what went wrong?
-
The Bible tells us something about death.
-
Rebellious Kafuani Paiku. In Romans.
-
In a way, Rome. Since for the wages of sin is
-
what? Story where you couldn't hear
-
your shape. So if the man that God created
-
was a living soul, how did death come in?
-
And it's your loan that they are like you come.
-
That came as a reward for sin. Yukuwa Niwa we pay OJ.
-
That came as a consequence of sin.
-
As we. Move on.
-
This morning I will tell you, by the grace of God, several clear
-
truths about sin. Be as it says.
-
Why'd you know right, Mama Suffer what anybody of Theolono
-
and what it's on Major. Number one sin is rebellion.
-
Against God. In that same Genesis chapter 2,
-
verse 15 to 17. Anyway, Genesis.
-
Let us read what God said to the first people.
-
He created. Verse 15, Chapter 2.
-
And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of
-
hidden, to dress it and to keep it.
-
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of
-
the garden thou mayest eat freely, but of the tree of the
-
knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it, For in the
-
day that thou eaters down sharp surely die.
-
So there was a. Divine Instruction to the man
-
carrying the breath of God, who is not a living soul.
-
There is the consequence of violation of that instruction
-
given ahead of. Quality you carry grace you are
-
the living soul you. Have to live eternally.
-
But. This is the way to keep that.
-
Eternal life. When you fail to do that.
-
Corruption will. Come into.
-
Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field,
-
which the Lord God at me. And he said unto the woman,
-
Yeah, at God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden.
-
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit
-
of the trees of the garden, but of the fruit of the tree which
-
is in the midst of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat
-
of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
-
So. She knew the consequences of
-
disobeying. God, but.
-
The serpent said unto the human, We shall not surely die.
-
For God don't know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your
-
eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good
-
and evil. Now at.
-
This point confusion set in for the.
-
Woman at. This.
-
Point there is a. Doubt cast on the originality
-
and the genuineness of God. And.
-
When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, the woman
-
didn't see until now or the woman started to see from
-
another perspective by. To.
-
You need to be very, very careful of who you listen to, of
-
what you listen to. Until this point, the fruits.
-
They were commanded not to eat. Remained there.
-
They didn't touch it. But when attention was given to
-
the serpent. Money back, the serpent started
-
to give. Them direction.
-
And such direction to be a destruction to your destiny.
-
The. House this.
-
Morning teach you. Very well at.
-
Home teach you the cool things to do and.
-
The wrong things to avoid. Once you get to school, you.
-
See a friend doing the direct opposite of what your parents
-
ask you not to do. They intimidate you, making you
-
look like you don't belong. You are not social and because
-
of that you have listened to them.
-
You follow them to do the wrong thing.
-
Once. Yeah, Your teachers.
-
In Sunday school class, your teachers in children's class,
-
your teachers in teenagers class, your pastors in teenagers
-
church, I've taught you the right thing to do.
-
You go to school, you see your friend doing the wrong thing.
-
Please don't listen to them. There was that disruption that
-
came. In Pano Kanwa.
-
Because he gave attention to the.
-
Serpent you see there? Is a way an idea can come into
-
your mind and you begin to look at, I can begin to look at this
-
spell and something suggests to me that is it really true that
-
this color is good? Is it not whitish?
-
And if you concentrate on that idea so long, OK, the perception
-
of white color begin to get established.
-
On the objects 01 so far, we pay our only scenario so most often.
-
Than not we see from the established concept in the mind.
-
Near Pueba Amar E Latino or that is.
-
Why you need to uphold the scriptures that you should allow
-
the word of God to dwell richly in your mind allow the word of
-
God to dwell richly in your mind the services, your.
-
What have I kept in my mind, in my heart, so that I will not sin
-
against you? That is the. 2nd it's your
-
Matsawa people we pay all or anymore Pamacia Yami came in my
-
bashes your keep up to. This point catch the instruction
-
of God in her mind. But the.
-
Movement the serpent said something suggested something as
-
an alternative to the Word of God.
-
She began to see in the direction of the picture created
-
by the. Serpent in her mind and.
-
When the human saw that the tree was good for food, and it was
-
pleasant to the high, and a tree to be desired to make one wise,
-
she took of the food there and did it, and gave also unto her
-
husband with. Her and she did it.
-
What's the FIFO or OCJ? And the eyes of them both were
-
opened, and they knew that they were naked.
-
And they sealed fig lives together and made themselves
-
aprons, and the head of the voice of the Lord God walking in
-
the garden in the cool of the day.
-
And Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of
-
the Lord God amongst the three of the garden.
-
Once he's gone away, once he died once, he only need to be
-
very careful about. Decisions we make.
-
And actions were carried out immediately.
-
The heads scripture said their eyes were.
-
Open they. Discovered that they were naked.
-
They see together. And the next thing they had the
-
voice of God, and they ran away from God.
-
What connected them with God? OK, God destructed.
-
They cut off from God. They ran.
-
Away from. The pride of God inside them
-
that attracts them to God had. Been interrupted the breath of
-
God in. Them should drop.
-
Them closer to God. Or something had gone wrong.
-
The living soul has become dead soul.
-
Allah Yoko otidoku. The point of affection has
-
become the point of disaffection.
-
Ippele EBT Feiwa OTDBT Co C Femor.
-
They had the voice of God. Once it.
-
Is at this point that the matter of.
-
Death. What was talking about there is
-
that you are going to be eternally damned once you eat
-
from this food. Once your alarm sunny be too
-
much. We pay for the wages of sin.
-
Is dead. This is what?
-
The Bible was talking about they.
-
Got separated. From God.
-
They got alienated away from God.
-
Is willful violation of God. 'S command yeni go Mama tapasi
-
albeka leoloro willful. Violation of God's command.
-
Willful violation of God's instruction.
-
Yeniya go Mama Tapasi a share it.
-
Is not me wrongdoing. For it is defiance against
-
divine authority. You deliberately go again
-
commandment. That was.
-
What happened here? He was instructed, Adam knew he
-
was instructed, but they listen to another voice and they
-
deliberately went against the standard of gold.
-
Adam one more, one more #2 Sing is not.
-
Just an act, but a. Dominating power.
-
Look at. How long sin entered into the
-
history of man. There will be a.
-
Tomorrow we are. Still talking about?
-
So it is not just an act. You know.
-
Collecting the fruit and eating it, that's an act, isn't it?
-
Big bar is so he wants Jay or Jay Ishay.
-
Is an act that come with consequences.
-
It is authorizing the devil to dominate your life.
-
Is wrong to experiment with. God has given express
-
instruction and there's a pressure that came upon your
-
life and say hello, look, you are hopefully the devil, for you
-
are hopefully the door for the devil to dominate.
-
To dominate, you are giving authority access to the
-
dominionic power of the. Devil so it is not.
-
Correct as a type of God to experiment with anything that is
-
against the will of God and you know it, that God has served
-
instruction on this matter, but for whatever reason you chose to
-
do certain things deliberately to satisfy yourself, you are
-
open the door to the devil. To dominate your life, Jesus.
-
Said in. John chapter 8 verse. 34 I say
John 8 chapter mention
-
unto you, Whosoever committed sin is the servant of sin.
-
Yes, you're down a long way. Loads are loads anymore We for
-
you and you can see your band. Ashe is a servant because.
-
See comes not just as an act, it comes as a dominating power. 3.
-
You get. Sing is a universal.
-
Pervasiveness. Is universal and is pervasive.
-
Owner. Owner is.
-
Spread. Yes, Sin is is not confined to
-
one place or confined to 1. Passing.
-
OK, when he enters all right, he spoils everything.
-
Does this insect the name just disappear?
-
The English name now again, clearly now.
-
All right, I think. I think something sent Bob or
-
something like that. Hello for you.
-
Know. It if you cook a very delicious
-
pot of soup that this is what you use for your Easter picnic
-
and you made mistake that insect entitle it, that's the end of
-
that soup. That's exactly the way.
-
Because sin. Affect.
-
All humanity, no one is exempted, no matter who.
-
You are. And he can.
-
It's about you, generally. Sin enter into humanity.
-
It affected. Humanity in totality.
-
The reach of sin. Is total, is comprehensive.
-
The reach of sin It's. Caught across all generations.
-
Romans, chapter 3. Verse 23.
Romans 3 chapter mention
-
Is a very popular verse of the. Scripture CEO Baja.
-
For all I've seen. And come short of the glory of
-
alcohol. I was the one that carries the
-
living bread of God, and that bread was corrupted and from him
-
all of us degenerated. As we're coming into the world,
-
we're coming in as Sina. And he says insane.
-
My mother conceived me. Insane was I born. 4.
-
Sin. Is deadly in its consequences.
-
E shello neno, E re. Steady sin is.
-
Terrible because. The result of it is dead.
-
We've. Said.
-
That in Romans 623. Sin is deadly.
-
The reward? Of it is death, both physical
-
death and eternal death, when. We talk about eternal.
-
We are talking about eternal. Separation from God.
-
Revelations chapter 20 give us a clear description of what it
Revelation 20 chapter mention
-
means to be dead. Revelations chapter 20.
Revelation 20 chapter mention
-
Let's read. From verse 11 to 15.
-
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from
-
whose face the heart and the heaven fled away, and there was
-
found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and
-
great stand before God, and the books were opened, and another
-
book was open, which is the book of life.
-
Remember, we are talking about life by His death.
-
Erotic Bay and Sony. And the dead were dulled out of
-
those things which were written in the books according to their
-
works. And the sea gave up the dead
-
which were in need, that is, those that have died physically.
-
It was because. He came, that's why men began to
-
die physically, but man also died spiritually and died
-
eternally. But there is a rescue mission
-
that Christ came to is the reason for the celebration we
-
are doing today. But let's see what happened
-
here. The sea gave up the dead that
-
were in it, and the death. Verse 13 And the sea gave up the
-
dead which were in it, and death and hell delivered all the dead
-
which were in there, and they were judged every man according
-
to their works, And death and hell were cast into the lake of
-
fire. This is the second death.
-
This is eternal. Date.
-
Script analysis and whosoever was not found written in the
-
book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
-
Mercy, read it. I see a way.
-
Hallelujah. Amen.
-
So. When the Bible talks deaths
-
being the wages of sin, hello, don't just think about the
-
physical death. Oh, so so person is dead.
-
Oh, they are financed. They are obituary of so and so
-
person. It is deeper than that.
-
It is more than that. Hello Sunny, we pay you Kiyama
-
Maro we putara Sunny pare Ojilo. Talking about eternal separation
-
when man that died in sin will be totally separated from God
-
for eternity and burning in the lake of fire.
-
For eternity, you see. The capacity of the soul of man
-
by the investment that God put into man when He created man,
-
that soul cannot disintegrate. That soul cannot dissolve.
-
That and hand will come to heat. It will continue to live
-
eternally. But in what post, in what
-
position, in what status? That is what matters for those
-
that are not born again, for those that will not appropriate
-
the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ that gave us
-
eternal life, who did an exchange of position for us by
-
giving us eternal life. Hey, eternal death is continuous
-
living instead of agony instead of pain with consciousness that
-
will not end eternally. How many of you have been born
-
with with fire? The.
-
Core, The core of fire. You.
-
Mistakenly bread carry pots with your bare hand.
-
Hotspots. Or you mistakenly place your
-
hand on iron. Or you March on the coal of
-
fire. Our.
-
Mothers that cook very well be able to tell us more about this.
-
I don't know, Emily. Let the let the There is a way.
-
There is a way. Hot food.
-
You put hot food in your mouth, OK, It burns your tongue.
-
You throw it out. And for the next one week, that
-
part of the tongue, hello. The test board of that part of
-
the tongue will be functionless for the next one week.
-
That is where every man. By the reason of what happened
-
in Genesis chapter 3, is supposed to.
Genesis 3 chapter mention
-
That is the agenda of the devil. That is where the devil want
-
every man to be. For the Bible says that hell is
-
created for the devil and his angels, not for human beings.
-
But the devil came to 10th man to draw people.
-
There so that you will not be the only one there.
-
God himself decided. You have seen what you want to.
-
Do but. I will not be watching the work
-
of my hand. I am going to.
-
Make a way out for you and. The way.
-
Of redemption provision for redemption provision for the.
-
Cleansing of. Number what?
-
5. Number what?
-
Number 5. Coco Caro Sing.
-
Is costly and demands atonement. Demands atonement.
-
The gravity of sail required a ransom.
-
So in the. Old
-
Testament we saw prescription for atonement.
-
And. It is about sacrificial death.
-
I want, I want you to exercise a little pressure.
-
Because. We must begin to specially
-
appreciate what Jesus Christ did for us.
-
So repay anila tibarecini mariri on CJSU Christie chefua.
-
Let's let's read from Leviticus chapter 16.
Leviticus 16 chapter mention
-
Maybe my interpreter will just hold on.
-
Let me just read it. So God gave prescription for
-
atonement for the nation of Israel and carefully look at
-
this prescription. Leviticus, chapter 16.
Leviticus 16 chapter mention
-
Let me. Start reading from this one.
-
And the Lord speak unto Moses after the death of the two sons
-
of Iran. And when they offered before the
-
Lord and died, they attempt to offer sacrifices before the Lord
-
that would not permit us to look at that, and they died.
-
When the one who is going before God on behalf of the people
-
became rejected, unqualified and God struck them.
-
Dead they were supposed to be. Priests.
-
Going. Before the.
-
Lord. Of the congregation you see all
-
manner of rubbish on the altar of the living God, all manner of
-
people claiming to be servant of the living God and messing up
-
the in the days of Moses if it were to.
-
Be in the days of Iran, people will be dropping dead.
-
Like this, the matter of the atonement of my sin, of your sin
-
in the hand, or within the contest of ironic priesthood.
-
Yet the ball is not possible. We cannot be saved from eternal
-
death. I am tempted to dwell on this
-
first verse, but I want us to have a progressive understanding
-
and appreciation of what Christ came to do for us.
-
On a day like this. And the Lord said unto Moses,
-
Speak unto Heron thy brother, that he come not at all times
-
into the holy place, within the veil before the mercy sea, which
-
is upon the heart, that it die not, for I will appear in the
-
cloud upon the mercy sea. Glory be to Jesus, even for
-
Iran. God has to give instruction to
-
their Father that look, you don't just come.
-
Anytime I'm placing. The restriction.
-
I'm placing. The.
-
Restriction. Thus shall come into the memory.
-
Now you will come to the only place.
-
With a young Bullock for a sin offering and a ram for a bond
-
offering, how many sin have you committed in the course of the
-
week that is gone by? This is the when the 4th month
-
of this year, isn't it? Let's just assume that January,
-
February, March. That's 12 weeks, 12 weeks, 13
-
weeks. Let's just assume that you only
-
always make just one mistake in the course of the week, and you
-
must have told for each of those error per week.
-
You must. Come with a goat for each of
-
the. Goats already this year.
-
A would I be metala when you watch the money or doing.
-
Multiplied by how many thousand they are selling each in the
-
market. He has wife Ishiro Yeti, 1.
-
Now listen, look at this following very well, best form,
-
He shall put on the only liner coats.
-
That is the priestly garment. Now are we together?
-
Just try to imagine that He coming to preach here to you
-
every Sunday, or to pray for you here every Sunday, just as we
-
read. Look at the picture of the dress
-
that Daddy must put on. He is not at liberty to put on
-
what I'm wearing. Sometimes Daddy will dress up,
-
put up sneakers like young people and bounce to the altar
-
to preach with AT shirt and somebody.
-
Will just rush there and bring the to him.
-
Look at the dress. You are sure TB Ben in Sunny B?
-
The holy lining coat. And he shall have lining bridges
-
upon his flesh, and shall be guarded with a lining garden,
-
and with a lining meter around his head shall be attired.
-
These are holy garments. Therefore shall he wash flesh in
-
water and so put them on. And he shall take of the
-
congregation of the Children of Israel, two kids of the goats
-
for sin offering, and 1 ram for a bond offering.
-
One episode of engaging the altar.
-
And Eron shall offer his Bullock first for himself.
-
Eron shall offer his Bullock of the sin offering which is for
-
himself, and make an atonement for himself and for his house.
-
So the priest climbing the altar, I cannot say I am a child
-
of God. I'm a servant of God.
-
I am clean the. Priest must be clean from home.
-
From the house in. Other words, he must offer
-
sacrifices for his own atonement and ensure that every member of
-
his family is atone. For sacrifices for the.
-
Atonement of the congregation of the sin offering, which is for
-
himself, and make atonement for himself and his House of the
-
seven. And he shall take the two goats
-
and present them before the Lord at the door of the Tabanaku of
-
the congregation. And error shall cast lots upon
-
the two goats. 1 Lord for the Lord, and the other Lord for the
-
scapegoat Shewari. And we wouldn't make it.
-
Two goats is bringing with him. He will cast lots.
-
You're Debo. I say, which one belongs to God?
-
Yeah. You saw you pay a word into your
-
lion and. One that one is picked, it will
-
be a sacrifice, a bond of rain to the Lord.
-
Then the second one is the scapegoat.
-
Good Hallelujah. That scapegoat is the one that
-
is affecting us, that is attached to the death of Christ
-
today. So by the time we now appear, it
-
will offer one of the kids gods as sacrifice to the Lord.
-
Then the other one is the scapegoat.
-
Let's see the next. Verse and error shall bring the
-
goat upon upon which the lost Lord fell, and offer him for sin
-
offering before God a sin offering the one that is for the
-
Lord. We offer that one a sin offering
-
then. But the goats on which the Lord
-
fell to be the scapegoats shall be presented alive before the
-
Lord, to make and torment with him, and to let him go for a
-
scapegoat into the wilderness. And how will that be done?
-
And Aaron shall bring the Bullock of the sin offering
-
which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself
-
and for his household, and shall kill the Bullock of the same
-
offering which is for himself. And he shall take the sensor
-
full of burning coals of fire from all the altar before the
-
Lord, and hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring
-
it within the veil, and it shall put the incense upon the fire.
-
Now let's keep because of our time to verse.
-
OK, let's see verse 15 then shall he kill the goat for sin
-
offering that is for the people and bring his blood which is
-
within the veil, and do with that blood as he did with the
-
blood of the Bullock and sprinkle it on the massive seed,
-
etcetera. I want to get to the vast where
-
he talks about what he does with with the scapegoat.
-
OK, verse 20, Verse 21. OK verse 20.
-
And when he had made an end of reconciling the holy place and
-
the Tabernacle with the congregation, there is a
-
reconciliation of the only place of the Tabernacle with the
-
congregation. By offering that God has seen
-
offering, He would have reconciled the congregation,
-
that is the people, with God. Look at that long.
-
Journey. He said, And Aaron shall lay
-
both ends upon the head of the lifeboat, that is the one, the
-
scapegoat. He will lay his hand upon him,
-
and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of
-
Israel, and all their transgressions in all their
-
sins, putting them upon the head of the gold, and shall send him
-
away by the hand to by the end of a fit man into the
-
wilderness. They will not look for one man
-
that is fit. He will put the whole of his
-
hand. The two end upon the scapegoat
-
and confess the sin of every member of the House of Israel,
-
the scene of victory. The scene of He will not put his
-
hand and begin to pronounce the scene of every member of the
-
congregation. And when that is gone?
-
Successfully. Transferred the iniquity of all
-
the people upon that goat. They will not.
-
Look for a fit man in the congregation.
-
You will be the 1:00 to. Now take that into the.
-
Wilderness. I would have loved that we
-
exhaust the entire chapter, but when you get to go and.
-
Study. Now imagine that Jesus did not.
-
Come imagine that, Jesus. Did not offer.
-
Himself to die. This is the procedures and the
-
difficult technicalities of atonement that will be subjected
-
to perform every time we. Need to ask for forgiveness.
-
Is. Costly.
-
Is. By human power, the technicality
-
of the atonement is too cumbersome.
-
So Hebrews. Chapter. 9.
-
Being calm and high priest of good things to come by a greater
-
and more perfect Tabernacle, that is to say north of this
-
building by the blood of goats and calves.
-
For by His own blood enter in wounds into the holy place,
-
having obtained eternal redemption for us.
-
For He the blood of bulls and of golds, and of the ashes of the
-
heifers, prinkly the unclean, sanctified without spot of God,
-
pour your conscience from dead walls to serve the living God.
-
Time will not permit me to expose this verses thoroughly,
-
but the point is this. The long procedure in Levitical.
-
That's why the technicalities. Involved.
-
In Levitical, the Bible said that the.
-
Best that that could do was to clean the flesh.
-
We pay the physical. Presence.
-
OK, a little. A little accommodating before
-
gold the. Capacity of the is limited.
-
It does not solve the problem of Jesus,
-
Jesus. He was not created.
-
To the rightful position. With God.
-
We also need a soul in life that has no sin to restore man back
-
to his original. Position with God.
-
This is the secret that the devil saw knew when he tempted
-
Jesus at the beginning of his ministry.
-
He wanted to corrupt the Spirit. He wanted to text Jesus using
-
the same methodology that was used to bring Adam and leave
-
down, protect Jesus in the wilderness so that the final
-
accomplishment of the ransom of the Son of Man will become
-
impossible eternally and therefore mass doom, mass
-
