Resurrected: The Cross is Worth Remembering
April 03, 2022 | John Durham
ISAIAH 52:13-15 HE WILL BE SAVAGED, BUT HE WILL SAVE.
ISAIAH 53:1-3 JESUS WILLINGLY EMBRACED A HUMAN FRAME WITH ALL ITS LIMITATIONS
ISAIAH 52:4-6 CHRIST IS CARRIED TO DEATH SO WE CAN BE CARRIED TO LIFE!
1) He will take the penalty of sin. 2) He will take the place of sinners.
He who hung the earth is hanging; He who fixed the heavens has been fixed onto a cross; He who fastened the universe has been fastened to a tree. The Sovereign One has been made unrecognizable in a broken human body and is not even allowed a garment to keep Him from our view. That is why the lights of heaven turned away, and the day was darkened.” – Melito of Sardis
ISAIAH 53:7-9 THE INNOCENT WAS BURIED IN THE EARTH SO THE GUILTY COULD BE RAISED TO HEAVEN.
ISAIAH 53:10-12 CHRIST ON THE CROSS WAS NOT HUMAN STRATEGY, IT WAS GOD’S DIVINE PLAN.
THIS IS THE POWER OF THE CROSS: GOD ACCEPTS UNACCEPTABLE PEOPLE GOD LIFTS SHAMEFUL PEOPLE.
GOD ADOPTS REBELS AS ROYALTY. GOD DECLARES THE GUILTY INNOCENT.
