 Good morning everyone and welcome to class on Testology. We're going to be studying chapter 10 this morning. Last week we looked at chapter 9. We studied Jesus' title and role as the sinless lamb of God. And we looked at how Jesus is referred to as the Passover lamb. So the Old Testament feast of the Passover was a type and shadow of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ that we see in the New Testament. We also see that Jesus offered himself for the sacrifice of sins forever. He did it once and for all. And the reason why he could do this was because he was sinless. Yes, he was sinless. He was holy. He was undefiled. And we saw that even as he offered himself as a sacrifice, he brought an end to the daily sacrifices, both the morning and the evening sacrifices. Because he was able to do this because he was fully surrendered and fully consecrated to the Father. We also saw Jesus as the suffering lamb. We studied Jesus as a suffering lamb and he was oppressed. He was afflicted. He was reviled. Reviled means he was criticized. He was opposed. He was said unpleasant things but he did not retaliate. So we see that this sinless lamb of God, Jesus Christ, very willingly, submissively, passively, both a penalty for our sins. And he became that suffering lamb that he could make his life as a trespass offering. So what is another word for trespass offering? Guilt offering. Yes. So what happens, what are the two things that a person does when they have to, in the guilt offering? Atonement and restitution. Very good. So we see that Jesus made the atoning sacrifice for our sins and he also paid the penalty. He paid for our sins. He made restitution for our sins. So this morning we're going to look at chapter 10, the substitutionary suffering before we begin. Can one of you please lead us in prayer please? Anyone can lead us in prayer? Esther Clement, are you there? Okay Prat, please go ahead. Yes, I'm there. Can you please lead us in prayer? Yes. Precious loving Heavenly Father, God we praise and thank you for this morning time Lord. This is wonderful opportunity you have given us. Lord to know more about you and Lord to transform in your likeness. So Lord God, Lord we commit this time of learning into your hands. Lord, bless your sister. Lord ashes. Lord giving the lecture. Lord help us to Lord imbibe it and Lord God practice them and Lord God, Lord ponder and Lord God have a lot of Lord learning that which will Lord God transform us and Lord makers in your likeness. Thank you Father God. We commit this time into your hands and we ask this in the mighty and precious name of a Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Thank you Esther Clement. So we are going to study chapter 10 today, the substitutionary suffering of Jesus Christ. Now what is the meaning of substitution? Replacing, okay. What else? Instead of, instead of, yes, basically the meaning of substitution is an act, it's a process, a result of substituting or replacing instead of one thing for another, okay. So when we're talking about Christ suffering, you know, or we are studying about Christ suffering, we'll be focusing on his substitutionary work on the cross. So what do we mean when we say Christ substitutionary work on the cross? What do we mean by that? What do you understand or what do we mean when we say Christ substitutionary suffering on the cross? Means he took our place. Okay. He took our place. You can use the mic if you want to speak. He took our place. Yes. Thank you, Esther. Get through. The sin we did, he took for us. Okay. He took upon himself our sins. He replaced us in our place. He died in our place. He took our sins. What else? What else? What else did he do on the cross in our place? He took our sickness, our grief, our pain. Okay. He took upon himself our sickness, our grief, our pain. He took our inequities and transgressions upon himself. He delivered us. He gave us the victory as he took upon himself our curse. Okay. He gave back what belonged to us. Yes. He gave back our authority. He fulfilled the requirement for our atonement. Yes. Thank you. Anything else? So yes, he was made a curse for us. Okay. He carried our sorrows. He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our inequities. He bore our sins and he took the penalty for our sins or the consequences for our sins. That is death. Okay. He died in our place. Which means he died for the sins of the entire mankind. Okay. So when we say, when we talk about Christ's substitutionary suffering, it's basically Christ taking our place, doing what we should have done. Okay. Bearing what we should have. Bone suffering for what we should have suffered and paying for what we had to pay for. Okay. So, you know, when Christ made that sacrifice, he was identifying on behalf of us. That is why he had to be fully man. So he was fully man and fully God, fully man because he was making that substitutionary sacrifice. He was doing it in our place. So if he had to substitute for us, he had to become like one of us, like one among us. Okay. And he had to make the sacrifice on our behalf. So the one making the sacrifice was suffering for all of our pains, all of our taking all of our punishment. Okay. And taking upon the consequences for our sins. Okay. Now, why did Christ do this for us? Why did Christ have to do this for us? Why did he have to suffer on our place, on our behalf? So that we can take his place. Okay. Why did Christ have to do this for us? But we are set free from the eternal death. Yes. So that we are set free from eternal death and we have eternal life. Okay. Lucy says for our righteousness and justification. Yes. What else? To make us right with God. To make us right with God. Okay. Sanjay says there's no other way to reconcile sinful man with the Holy God. Yes. And he also did it out. Okay. Hello, Shaker. Can you? I'm sorry. Okay. Okay. He did it for us. Look at what Isaiah chapter 53 versus 4 to 6 says. Isaiah chapter 53 versus 4 to 6. Can somebody read that please? Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. Yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God and afflicted. But he has wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement for our peace was upon him and by his stripes we are healed. And all we like sheep have gone astray. We have turned everyone to his own way. And the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. Amen. Amen. Thank you. So here in Isaiah chapter 53, it basically was 4 to 6 speaks. It gives details of Christ's substitutionary work. Okay. So if you look at verses 4 and 5, what is the word that is repeated again and again? Yes, R. Okay. He bore our grief. He carried our sorrows. He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The punishment needed to obtain our peace was upon him. Okay. By his stripes he provided us healing. His stripes provided all healing. And the Lord laid on him the iniquity of us all. Okay. So the Lord laid on him our iniquity. So if you look at the word that is repeated again and again is the word R, which means Christ whatever he did on the cross, he did it for us. He did it in our place. He did it on behalf of us. And this is the substitutionary suffering. Yes. Do you differentiate between a transgression and an iniquity? Yes. The iniquity we know it's a sin that we know and we still commit. How is transgression different from iniquity? Okay. Good question. How is transgression different from iniquity? Any thoughts? Anyone has? How is transgression different from iniquity? Lucy says our actions. Okay. Okay. Transgression is basically that you know is something that is against a command or a law. When you go against a command or a law, whether you're cheating in a test or you're cheating on your spouse or you're basically committing transgression and that's not easily forgiven. Okay. So transgression is basically when you fail in your duty. Okay. So a sin is a transgression because it is against God. So basically sin is when you're failing in your duty, you're going against a command or a law and it can be anything but you're cheating as simple as you might think it's simple thing to cheat in a test. Whether you're cheating in a test or cheating on your spouse, you're basically committing transgression which is not forgiven. So what is the word we read in the Bible in various places? Iniquity. Now iniquity is defined as being immoral or being wicked. Okay. It's being actually wicked or immoral in your nature or your character. Okay. So in primary this word iniquity is not an action. It's not an action that you do. It's basically the character of your action. Okay. So iniquity is the character of your action. It's defined as being wicked or it's the immoral in nature or character and it basically indicates not an action but it is basically talking the character of your action and that is where it is distinguished from sin. How it is distinguished from sin but basically if you look in the New Testament, there are 12 basic words to describe the word sin itself and iniquity is not one of those. Transgression is one of those. So what are some of the words in the New Testament that is used to describe sin? We have bad carcass that is in Greek. Then we have pony-ros which is evil. We have godless. We have guilt. We have matia in weak words which is basically in some places the New Testament talks about sin. Unrighteousness also is referring to sin. Then we have lawlessness. We have transgression, ignorance to go astray, to fall away, hypocrisy or to be a hypocrite. All are words that are used to describe sin in the New Testament but this word iniquity is not there and that is how it is distinguished from sin because it's basically a character, not more of an action. But your character eventually results in your action. It's a good question. Thank you. So here we see that everything that Christ did on the cross for us which is spoken of in Isaiah 53 shows that he has done it on behalf of us. So Christ's substitutionary work on the cross was on behalf of us for us. He suffered for us. Now if you look at the first phrase there, he bore our grief or he has borne our grief, P-O-R-N-E. Now what is the meaning of this word bore or borne? The Hebrew word for this is basically to remove, to distance away, to cast away, to take away, to lift up. So that is what it means when it says he bore our grief. That means he cast away our grief or he took it away, he removed it, he distanced it from us. Now what are the things that he bore for us? According to Isaiah 53, what are the things Jesus bore for us on the cross? Greeps, sorrow, yes, our transgressions, our inequities, yes, and our chastisement. What is chastisement? A punishment. Now what is the meaning of he bore our grief? The Greek word for bore our grief is basically sickness. That means Jesus on the cross, he removed our sickness, he lifted it away, he took it away, he cast it away. So I think that should give us so much more of an assurance, just being so grateful and thankful that on the cross Jesus bore our sickness, which means he lifted it up, he took it away, he cast it away, he threw out all your sicknesses, he removed it to a distance. So when you are sick and you're suffering with sickness in your body, you need to declare this word in Isaiah 53 that he has borne our grief, which means he has borne our sickness. And he has carried our sorrows. What is the meaning of sorrows? The Hebrew word is pain. Actually if you study Hebrew and Greek, the whole Bible will just come alive in such a different way. Now when you look at grief, what do we think? When you look at grief, what do you understand about grief? Sadness, sorrow basically, right? You're crying the morning to death of somebody or you're sad about something, but did you know that grief was basically sickness? And sorrows is, what is sorrows? You know heartache, brokenness or whatever, but here it is our pain, all the pain that we are carrying. He has borne it, which means he has cast it away, he has lifted it up, he has taken it away. Which means, what does it mean when we read this verse that Jesus has removed distance, lifted away, carried away, cast away our sickness and pain? What does it tell you? What should it do to you? What should be your response? What should be your response? Grateful, thankful, okay? Can it move a little more beyond that? Confident that it's been taken away from you, yes? What else? Some of us love to live in pain and grief and sickness, right? We think pain and sickness is so much part and parcel of our life, we just carry it, we carry it on us, like nobody can share it, nobody can take it away, and it just pulls us down. But here we need to come to a place where we're saying God, you've taken it away. You suffered, Jesus suffered for us, he went through so much of agony and pain to take our sickness, to take our pain and our brokenness, so it's not worth carrying. Yes, we need to rejoice, we need to celebrate, but it's not worth carrying, right? Because he's already taken away, he's cast it away, then why are you holding on to it? It can be such a lie of the enemy that we are believing and living, okay? So, yes, no more sickness, no more sorrows, no more failures, you need to declare. Now Christ has finished everything on the cross, but it's very important for us to believe that and to live that out in our lives. We need to live and walk in that truth. That's when it becomes what Christ has done on the cross, becomes a reality in our lives. Yes or no? Otherwise, you know, he's done everything and you're crying out to God, God, why are we carrying all this pain, why this sorrow, the sickness, I'm living with this, why God, why God? And God is saying, hey, look at the cross, I've already done it on the cross, I've already taken away, can you just let it go? Can you just trust me? Can you just walk in that freedom in what Christ has, what He has done for you on the cross, okay? So, let's live in that reality, even as we are in the season of Lent, we are focusing on the cross, let the cross become more of a reality of what Christ has done on the cross and let it become something that we are living it out in our own lives, okay? So, if you look at the various translations, the Young's translation of Isaiah 53 verse 4 says, surely our sickness he had borne and our pains he has carried them, okay? So, Rothram's translation says, surely our sickness he carried and as for our pain he bears the burden of them all, okay? So, we see that Christ has borne it for us, so we don't have to bear it. When something is taken away from us, we need to live in freedom, we need to walk in freedom and need to exercise and live in that truth, amen? I can't hear any amen. Amen. Thank you. Okay, so the Bible teaches us that, you know, Jesus substitutionally worked on the cross, you know, he bore our sickness, he bore our pain, our sins and our punishment. Jesus took it all upon himself, he carried them away. Therefore, we don't need to bear it any longer, we don't have to carry that on ourselves. So, I don't know how many of you are carrying heavy burdens, backpacks, luggage, suitcases loaded with all your pain, sorrows, brokenness, heartaches. We all go through that, it's a reality, but we need to just let it go, right? We just have to let it go and because Christ has already taken it on the cross and set us free, okay? Therefore, Whom the Son has said free is, free indeed, amen, okay? So, we have forgiveness of sins, healing of our bodies, we have shalom, what is shalom? Not just peace but wholeness, okay? It's wholeness, it's peace but it's wholeness, it's a very comprehensive word to make it more real in our context, a very pregnant word. It means it's a word that is full, okay? So much of meaning in that it's a holistic word, comprehensive word. He brings us shalom, our completeness for our entire being, our entire person, okay? And all this is because of the substitutionary work of Jesus on the cross, okay? Now, people say that, you know, or many people who look at Christ's suffering on the cross say that his vicarious suffering or his substitutionary suffering. What does it mean, vicarious? Sorry? Vicarious extreme. Another word for vicarious or vicarious is basically substitutionary, okay? In the place of another, okay? Say that it was very unjust, what do you think? Christ's vicarious suffering was very, or substitutionary suffering was very unjust, what do you think? Any thoughts? It was unjust for him to go through that but it is justified for the sins that we have committed as the whole world. So, for God being so holy, in his sight it was just, but for Christ it was unjust because he was blameless. Okay? Good thought, thank you. Anyone else? Anyone else? What do you think? The substitutionary suffering was unjust? Now, there are two? It was unjust. Sorry, Warren, please go ahead. Sorry, yeah, it was unjust because Christ didn't have to do that for us because he was blameless, he was innocent. And, you know, actually we don't deserve, we didn't deserve that he gave up his life and suffered for us. Okay, thank you, Warren. Now, there are two reasons why people go through suffering in this world. What are the two reasons? One starts with J, the other starts with L. The second letter. Okay, the first word J is a lack of knowledge, okay? J-U, we are, the first one is justice, okay? You know, we suffer because we have done things that are wrong, we are not innocent, okay? And we live in a world that is not full of evils, not innocent. We suffer justly for what we have done, okay? And the second thing that people can suffer is because of love, right? Here in this context, you know, we see that Christ suffered because he had to justify us, okay, for justice reason. And also we see God's demonstration of love, okay? And the cross shows us the full extent of Christ's love or defines love for us. Greater love has no man than this, than a man who laid down his life for his friends, okay? So we see that it was not unjust, but he did it because of the justice that was required for us in and also out of love. Okay, this is the side note. I just wanted to ask you all and talk about it, okay? So we see that Christ suffered in our place. So the substitutionary suffering of Christ was because he loved us. He did it out of love for us, okay? And we see scriptures also revealing that it was God's love that prompted Christ's substitutionary suffering, okay? So which is the passage that we can talk about God's love and substitutionary suffering? The famous verse. John 3.16. Yeah, thank you, Warren. John 3.16, God so loved the world. He gave his only son. Look at Romans chapter 5 verse 8. 1 John chapter 3 verse 16 and 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verses 14 and 15. 3 of you please read this verse. Please, Romans 5.8, 1 John 3.16 and 2 Corinthians 5.14 and 15. Romans 5.8, but God demonstrates his love towards us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Yes, how did God demonstrate his love for us? How did Christ demonstrate his love for us? By dying on the cross while we were still sinners, okay? Which means that we are not worthy of his love. We are not worthy of anything but he did it out of his love, okay? 1 John 3.16. Can somebody read that please? By this we know love because he laid down his life for us and we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. Amen. So how do we know Christ's love? Because he gave his life for us. Okay, 2 Corinthians 5, 14 and 15, please. He gave his life for us. We believe that Christ died for us. We also believe that we have all died through our own life. He died for everyone so that those two received his life. Amen, thank you. So here we see in these three scripture passages that Christ died for us. He died for you and for me, died for everyone. He laid down his life for us and one died for all. Okay, so just this one who died and made that perfect sacrifice once for all, forever for the sins of mankind. And he died for all, okay? So these statements basically reveal Christ's suffering, his death and it shares that it's for us. And it was made once and for all and that is why we don't need to make any more sacrifices, okay? So this was Christ's substitution, his suffering and his substitutionary death, okay? We also see that these scriptures reveal that it was done out of God's love for us. It was God's love that prompted Christ's substitutionary suffering. So when Christ died on the cross, he was basically displaying, okay? He was demonstrating, he was showing the love that he has for us by giving his life for us or taking our place or taking our punishment. So when he was doing all of this, he was basically displaying, he was basically demonstrating his love for us, okay? And again, John chapter 15 verse 13 says, what does John chapter 15 verse 13 say? Somebody read that please. John chapter 15 verse 13, greater love has no one than this than to lay down one's life for his friends. Amen. Thank you, Angelin. So we see that he laid down his life for us because he loved us. And so what should be our response to this? What should be our response to this? What does this verse say in 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 15 and 1 John chapter 3 verse 16? What should be our response? Can you please use the mic? In the verse it says, we should no longer live for ourselves but for our brethren. Yes, we no longer live for ourselves but we live for Christ, okay? We show Christlikeness in the way that we live, in our attitude, in the way that we serve, in our actions, in our behavior, okay? Because he laid down his life for us, we also lay down our lives for us. Brethren, which means we also serve another, helpful to one another. Yes, Lucy, thank you. And also that we are no longer living for ourselves, which means what? What does it mean? We no longer live for ourselves as it says in 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 15. What does it mean? Okay, what does it mean when you say that we are no longer living for ourselves? That means we should be selfless. Okay, yes, selfless. No longer living for ourselves sinful or lustful desires, pleasures and passions. Okay, remember Paul was talking about war in our bodies. Yes, yes or no? What is the war in our bodies that is going on constantly? The flesh and the spirit, yes. Our fleshly nature, our Peshikhanu nature and our spirit nature, they're constantly in war with each other. So, you know, we don't give in to our sinful passions and desires. Okay, not yielding to our own will, to our own thoughts, but yielding and submitting totally to God. Okay, so we no longer live for ourselves but for him. Okay, a few more scripture passages we can look at is Galatians chapter 2 verse 20. Okay, it says Paul is saying, I've been crucified with Christ and I no longer live but Christ lives in me and the life I now live in the body and live by faith in the Son of God. So here Paul is making a bold statement. He's saying, I've been crucified with Christ. What does he mean when he says I've been crucified with Christ? Was he crucified along with Christ on the cross? What does he mean when he says I've been crucified with Christ? Yes, he's saying that my sinful, fleshly, carnal nature has been put to death and I no longer live for myself but I live for Christ. Okay, look at what Romans chapter 14 verses 7 and 8 says. Can somebody read that please? Romans chapter 14 verse 7 to 8. Romans chapter 14 verse 7 and 8, for none of us lives to himself and no one dies to himself. If we live, we live to the Lord and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. Yes, so whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. We belong to the Lord. Thank you, Angeline. So here it's one beautiful stitch of us where it says, we live and we die for the Lord. Everything that we do, we do for him. In him, we live, move and have our being. Okay, so he should be the Lord of our life and not just our Savior but also the Lord of our life. Look at what 1 Corinthians chapter 6 verses 19 to 20 says. Anyone knows that by heart it's a very familiar scripture passage. Don't you know your body's other? Temple of the? Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit? Holy Spirit. Yes, who is in you and you have received it from God? Not your own, you are bought with a price. Therefore, what do you do? Honor or glorify God in your bodies or with your bodies. So I just want you to think, what are you living for? You know, are you living just for your family, to earn, to feed your family, to take care of your family? Are you living just because you have to live? Or you're living with certain plans, goals that you have, that you want to achieve? Or everything in your life is aligned to what God has planned and purposed for your life and you're living to glorify him or living to honor him. Whatever you're doing, ask yourself this question. I'm doing it to honor God and I'm doing it to glorify God because he gave us his everything. He took our place, you know. He demonstrated and displayed his love for us and all he is asking in return is our love for him and our love for him in every area of our lives. Okay. We'll move on. Christ's substitution is suffering on the cross. Also, you know, brought about our justification. Okay. When he was raised to life, that's when we were justified. Now, I want all of you to pay attention. This is something very important. Okay. Please read Romans chapter five verse 20. Romans chapter four was 25. Please, someone. Who was delivered up because of our offenses and was raised because of our justification? Amen. So, I want you to listen carefully that it says who was delivered up because of our offenses. Who is the who here? Jesus. Jesus was delivered for our offenses. Offenses means sins. Okay. Yes, our sins were what caused him to be delivered up means what? Gave himself. Okay. Gave himself or crucified on the cross. Yes. He gave himself when he was crucified on the cross and he took upon himself the consequences of our offenses. Okay. This is the substitution. He worked at Christ's on the cross. Now, what does it mean? He was delivered up for our offenses. Now, if you look at the ancient Greek, this word delivered, you know, when it's translated basically means what it basically gives this idea or it's used in this context of casting people into prison or delivering them to justice. So, when you're caught in a sin, they would take you and deliver you up to the court for justice or you would be cast into prison. So, this is the idea that this ancient Greek word delivered had. Okay. Again. So, here in this context, it speaks of the judicial act of God, the father delivering the son, you know, to justice that was required for the payment of the penalty of our sin. Okay. I'll repeat that again. I want you all to listen carefully. Now, this word delivered in ancient Greek had this whole meaning of when somebody did wrong casting them into prison. That's basically punishing them or being delivering them up to justice, not taking them to court and then justice being done, punishment given to them. So, here when we talk that, you know, Jesus was delivered up, you know, for our, because of our offenses, it basically means it was God the father who was the judge. He is the judge. And in his, you know, judicial act, he delivered the son to the justice that was required for the payment of the penalty of sins. Okay. So, when Christ went through the substitutionary suffering, it was basically justice that had to be done for the payment of the penalty of human sin. Okay. Did you all understand that? No. No. All of us are sinful. We all stand before the court of God. And when God looks at each one of us, he declares us sinful. Okay. And that is what we wear in his eyes. But when Jesus, but the penalty for sin had to be paid. So in the Old Testament, what our sin atoned for the lamb that was sacrificed, the blood that would atone for the sins of cover. Okay. And when Jesus made that sacrifice, God the father was delivering up the son to justice. That means he's a just God. Justice had to be done. Punishment had to be paid for the penalty of human sin. And so when he was delivering up his son on the cross, okay, he was basically doing justice and Christ was paying the penalty for our sins. He was making the payment for our sins. Do you all understand? Yes. No. Okay. So that is the first half of this verse. Okay. The second one says, and was raised because of our justification. Very interesting, right? You find something very different here. He was raised because of our justification. What does it mean? What do you understand by this? He was raised because of our justification. What does it mean? Yes, Sanjay. Pastor, God was pleased with the sacrifice of Jesus. And this sacrifice, which Christ had made on behalf of us since God received the sacrifice, we were justified. So in a way, if Christ wasn't risen from the dead, we wouldn't be justified. So his resurrection is very important for us as believers. Christ's resurrection also makes us justified. Yes. Thank you. Good. Yes. So here we see that, you know, interesting to know that Christ was raised because of our justification. That does not mean that because we were just people, just because we were justified that Christ was raised. It implies that when our sins were paid in full, you know, we were declared righteous in God's sight. And Christ was raised. So crucifixion or the death of Christ is not, sorry, resurrection is not, how can I say? Crucifixion was not complete till the resurrection of Jesus Christ. What Christ did on the cross in one sense was not complete if he had not been raised back to life from the dead. Okay. So resurrection is very, very important because resurrection basically shows or tells us that what Christ did on the cross was something that was sufficient, was full. What was what God required was what God looked as the payment and the penalty for our sins and what the sacrifice that Christ made. It pleased God. It appeased God. It covered our sins once for all. It made that full payment that was required. Okay. So here Christ's resurrection is approved for an indication of the reality of our justification. It basically means that our sins were paid in full and we were declared righteous in God's sight. So this phrase raised before because of our justification is very, very important because the resurrection has essential or it has important or crucial place in our redemption. Okay. Why? Because it demonstrates God the Father's perfect satisfaction with the Son's work on the cross. Now, this is not in your notes. So if you want to take it down, you can take it down. So here we see that resurrection has an essential or an important or a basically crucial place in our redemption because it basically demonstrates to us that God the Father's, you know, perfect satisfaction with what Jesus did on the cross was complete. The Son's work on the cross was complete. He was perfectly satisfied. It also proves that what Jesus did on the cross was in fact a perfect sacrifice made by one who was himself perfect, even though he was bearing the sins of the world. Okay. I'll repeat that. It also proves that what Jesus did on the cross, the sacrifice that he made was perfect and it was made by one who was perfect in every way, even though he bore the sins of the world. Okay. And when Jesus was delivered up over to death because of our sins, you know, he was raised because of our justification. Our justification is accomplished in the death of Jesus Christ and the resurrection is basically God's receipt. Okay. Or it is the Father's Amen to what Jesus said when he said on the cross, it is finished. Jesus said it is finished, but the resurrection was the Father saying Amen to what was finished on the cross. Or it was basically the resurrection was God's receipt for Christ's payment. Right? Whenever you go and make a payment, you just don't walk away. You ask for a receipt, right? Because that is so important. So the resurrection in one, in a sense, if you look at it in a human way is basically God's receipt to what Christ did on the payment that Christ made on the cross and it is paid in full. That's why we don't have to make any more sacrifices and it's the Father's Amen to what Christ said on the cross. It is finished. Okay. So it's also, you know, he was raised because of our justification is also heaven's acceptance of the death of Christ. Okay. So without the resurrection from the dead or Christ, without the Christ resurrection from the dead, from the dead, sorry, there is no indication that what he did was atoning and justifying. We have to repeat that again. Without the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Okay. There would have been no indication that what he did, the atoning sacrifice that he did on the cross, the justification that he made for us since would not have been complete if there was no resurrection. So you see how important resurrection is? Yes or no? Yes. So, you know, without the resurrection from the dead, there is no indication that Christ's death was atoning and justifying. Okay. But with the resurrection from the dead, everything that Christ claimed to be doing through his death, including justifying sinners, you know, who believe has been accomplished. So resurrection is so equally important as crucifixion on the cross. The crucifixion of the cross, everything what Christ has accomplished for us on the cross, you know, is completed, is done when Christ resurrected from the dead. Okay. You're able to understand? Anything you want me to repeat or say again or explain? Just about resurrection once again sister. Okay. So the resurrection is basically an essential or important crucial place in our redemption because it demonstrates God, the Father's perfect satisfaction with what Christ has done on the cross or the son's work on the cross. It's a satisfaction of Christ's work on the cross. It also proves that what Jesus did on the cross was in fact a perfect sacrifice that he made and it was made by one who was perfect himself, even though he took on the sins of the world. Okay. And Jesus was delivered up for our debt because of our sins and was raised because of our justification. Basically, resurrection is God's receipt or it's the receipt for Christ's payment on the cross. Resurrection is the Father saying amen to what Jesus said it is finished on the cross and it's also heaven's acceptance of the death of Jesus Christ. Okay. So without the resurrection from the dead, there is no indication that Christ's death was atoning and justifying. But with the resurrection from the dead, everything that Christ claimed to be doing through his death, you know, was accomplished. That is including justifying sinners who believe. Okay.
