 That automatically goes to mute, I don't know how, but we are muting things. Okay, thank you John. Okay, before, welcome back after the break, before we went for the break, we were looking at Second Corinthians chapter 5, verses 14 and 15, and it is like this, for the love of Christ compels us because we judged us that if one died for all, then all died, and he died for all that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for him who died for them and rose again. Just let's look at a few statements here of phrases in this verse of these verses. It says Christ died for us. Okay, which are the other phrases that talk about the word us here. First one we see that Christ died for us. Any other phrases that talk about us here in these verses, these two verses. The love of Christ compels us. Okay, Christ died for us. He laid down his life for us. One died for all. Okay, and he died for all. So if you look at these statements, it shows for us that Christ suffering on the cross, that is substitutionary, suffering is substitutionary, that was for us and for all. This is Christ died for us. He laid down his life for us. One died for all, and he died for all. So we see that in these statements, we see that Christ substitutionary suffering and his substitutionary death was for us and for all. So these two also reveal to us that God's love prompted Christ substitutionary suffering. When Christ died on the cross, or he went on the cross, it was God's love that was being demonstrated. God's love was being defined by his sacrifice, by what he did, by taking our place. He died for us in speaking, our sorrows, our grief, our pain, our shame, our faults. We also see that on the cross that God's love was displayed when Jesus Christ gave up his life. We also see that he was a true friend with the greatest love because John chapter 15 was 13. John chapter 15 was 13. John 15, 13, no one wants to leave. John 15, 13, greater love has no one than this than to lay down one's life for his friends. Greater love has no one than this. And we see that we see God's greatest love here displayed for us, defined for us because he laid down his life for us. I just wanted to share something. I sometimes think that some of you just joined class, but I don't think it's your love present. Because other than Silicano, Silicone, Ubega, John, and I think once in a while it's Abubakar and Isaac. None of the others really talk or say anything. So I'm not sure. We have 14 of us, 14 of you are in the class, 13 in some way. Sometimes it's even 16 or 17, but absolutely no less forms. Nobody wants to read the verses. There's no answers to questions. So it would be good if there is no class participation. Otherwise, it's going to get very demotivating for me as well. And I'm sometimes wondering if you're already in class. I know it is Monday morning. All of us have our Monday morning meetings. But I request all of you to participate. Make it more engaging in class. There's just a few more chapters. There should be some kind of positive response. Make a good scene for me as well and for the others in the class. So we looked at Kaisa Kring. He did it all for us. He did it out of his love. When Kaisa was raised, Kaisa was raised when we were justifying. Romans chapter 4. So Abu Bakr says, my voice is not clear. It's echoing. What about the others? Is my voice echoing? It's okay. So Abu Bakr says it's echoing. What about Anita? It's echoing. You just give me some feedback please. Now is it better? Better will be solved. Now is it going to be better? Or is it still echoing? It's the same, I think. Is it the same? So the problem is, is it the same? It's the same. Sorry Abu Bakr. It's the same. I can't hear you. So is it because it's echoing that you're not able to hear or understand me? Is that right? Yes Ma, I don't hear your voice. It's echoing. That's what you're saying. Okay. So is it the same like this or is it the same? Is it always the same like this or is it the same? I think it's been like this. For me, it feels the same. So it's not very clear? It is clear, but it can be more clearer. Because usually the other classes, right? It is a little more clearer. I'm not sure if that's the reason brother Abu Bakr said this. Okay. I'm also sorry about that. I know that we have changed the laptop. Okay. Let me see what I can do in the next class. Okay. But today maybe we have to just do this. Okay. Maybe we can do the lesson. Or do you think I need to redo some of the lessons that you have not heard? Okay. Let's just take some feedback. Please be held. This is no point in me progressing. I have a lot of time. I can always go back through these lessons. And I can redo it. Maybe with a well sound. So with that help, please give me some feedback. Share your thoughts, please. If you find it difficult to unmute and speak, you can type it in the chat section. But you'll see that we really have some disability for people to be able to do that. So I think it is okay. Let's do more focus for us. We have to focus a little more because of the voice. But I think we were able to understand, at least for myself, I'm able to understand. Thank you, John. So what's your thoughts on the super sheets? Do you want to share your thoughts? I agree with John. So it's okay. Thank you. It's okay. Yes, Pastor. Actually, we can understand. But sometimes actually it's echoing. Okay. Maybe because this room has not taken much. I don't think I want to take it because this is our bedroom. We don't have much furniture. We need some furniture. And it may not fit. It's because we want to change the space for it. Let's see. Okay. Okay. We continue. We have to just pray that we can open the door and we can just keep here for you. We're looking at high subscription suffering on the cross. And we saw that he did it all for us. And he did it out of his love. The next one is that he is based by being there, justified. Romans chapter 4 was 25. They wanted to do that please. Romans 4 was 25. Romans 4 was 25. Romans 4 was 25. Romans 4 was 25. Romans 4 was 25. Romans 4 was 25. Romans 4 was 25. Romans 4 was 25. Romans 4 was 25. Romans 4 was 25. Romans 4 was 25. Romans 4 was 25. Romans 4 was 25. Romans 4 was 25. Romans 4 was 25. Romans 4 was 25. Romans 4 was 25. Romans 4 was 25. Romans 4 was 25. And so this again is the substitutionary work of Christ. It's also interesting to note that Christ was raised because of our justification, okay? This implies that when our sins were paid in full, and when we were declared righteous in part, it was when Christ was raised back to life, okay? So we see that, you know, we weren't used to this death in this fight. It was three days, the third day before he died. And when we were paid, or we made the crucifixion in perfect sacrifice, and after we made the sacrifice, you know, we already had a bunches in our side, which was where Christ was raised. So what we mean by this is that Christ, the resurrection is coming back to life from the dead, is a proof or indication of the reality of our justification, okay? So how do we know that we are justifying in God's side, or we write in God's side, that we are no longer sinners in God's side, but we are seen as his children, his own daughters, we're part of his family. How do we know that we are no longer enemies with God, but friends with God is, you know, that Christ's resurrection is a proof or an indication, you know, that we have been justified, okay? And we are justified by faith, okay? So the resurrection has an essential place in our redemption and has been written from sin, from the slaves of sin, of the slaves of Satan. It's because what demonstrates the perfect fathers, you know, what them, sorry, it's because the demonstrates God the Father's perfect satisfaction with the sons both on the cross. And he's paid for our sins. You know, God the Father was fully satisfied for the sins of the good mankind. He was justified in his, in his side because he's a just God, he's a just judge and the full family persons have to be known because he's just, because he's righteous. And you see that the oldest in sacrifices just kind of covered up the sin for a temporary period but it was not, you know, able to justify the full penalty for sins of the righteous demands of a righteous God and hence Christ came and he made the food sufficient for their sacrifice and it was perfect even though he was spending the sins of the poor. The next day is when he bought our sins on the cross. You know, he bought it in his body. In 1 Peter chapter 2 verse 24 please. 1 Peter chapter 2 verse 2240. In 1 Peter chapter 2 verse 24. 1 Peter 2 24 for he himself bought our sins in his own body on the tree that we haven't died to sins might live for righteousness by whose stripes you were healed. Thank you. Here it says that he bought our sins in his own body and he took upon himself what he bought upon himself a list and he endured the consequences of our sins, of our trespasses of our enemies and he endured it all for us again. So the results what are the results of his substitution and death on the cross. The first thing is that he died for our sins so that he may live in righteousness because it says here that he having died to sin might live for righteousness. You know, he took upon himself our sins so that he may live with us his righteous life. Okay, so he took our place as a sinner and he made us righteous. So that is one of the results of Christ's substitutionary suffering on the cross. The second thing in his work really is by whose stripes you were healed. So we see that Christ's substitutionary suffering on the cross brings healing and fullness in our broken man in our body, in our spirit and in our soul. It says here it does not say by whose stripes can be healed. It does not say by whose stripes you could be healed or by whose stripes you will be healed if you do this, this, this. But it's also it's talking about something that is a completed act. It says by whose stripes you were healed. It's already done. It's completed. The healing for our bodies is already received and we need to just believe that and walk in that healing. Okay, so you are already healed, all you need to do is receive it for yourself, believe it for yourself in a broken body. Then we see that on the cross when Christ substituted in our place of his substitutionary suffering, we see that he became sin for us. Second, putting things five was 21. Second, putting things five was 21. Second, putting things five was 21. For him, who knew no sin to be sinned for us that we might become the righteousness of God in him. Thank you. So here we see that the Christ knew no sin. He was sinless and we performed our sins upon him and he was made a sinner in our place. He became who we were. He was sinless and we were sinful but he took our place and we became who we were. He took upon himself our sins. He took upon himself our guilt and our shame to deliver us and make us to be what he had destined us to be, what we had purpose us to be, what we had planned for us to be. So the whole essence of Christ's substitutionary suffering is this that he was rich. So he was rich in the sense that he was God. He had the nature, the attributes, the characteristic of God. He was holy, perfectly holy, utterly holy. He was sinless, don't be a switch but yet for our sake, he became poor. He limited himself. He let go of some of his Godly attributes that we have been taught. He let go of his greatest side so that he can understand us so that we become one and make us one among us. And he entered into our experience so that to his to our poverty he will identify with us. And he entered into our experience that he in our innumerable things, in our innumerable frustrations, in our own despair, in our depths of despair in our own poverty that we could become of which that means we could inherit the nature of God, the blessings of God, the standing with God, the favor of God. And when we talk about the standing with God, we are not viewed as righteous. Father, father, looks at his son and us at the same level. Jesus is here and we are there. He looks at his son. He loves us just like he loves his son. This is an amazing truth. Sometimes we can't comprehend but this is the greatness of the God he served in worship that he loves us just the same way he loves his son. And he looks at us and he explains us in the same level as he's placed us as his son. The moment we justify, we are all seated with Christ in many places. That's position that we know about the Father has given to us. Christ entered our poverty so that we can experience his riches, we can become of which like he is, and we can taste and experience all of who he is. The other results, the consequences of Christ substituting something on the cross is that we took out the formalities and we took out sicknesses. We took out formalities and both are sicknesses. Supervotically, Matthew chapter 8 was 16 and 17. Matthew chapter 8 was 16 and 17. When evening had come, they brought to him many who were demon possessed and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet saying he himself took out infirmities and bore our sicknesses. Thank you. So here we see that the Gospel writer of Matthew the Gospel writing and telling Isaiah chapter 23 was 4. So we see that what Isaiah had spoken profitably that what Christ would accomplish on the cross that we would take our diseases and bear our sufferings and our sicknesses was accomplished and we see also that Matthew writing about this in Matthew chapter 2 verse 16 and 17 was spoken by Isaiah chapter 22 verse 4 always talking about Christ healing the sick and Matthew says this is the fulfillment of what Isaiah the prophet had spoken about Jesus Christ. So it does not mean that when Matthew is quoting this in Matthew chapter 1 verse 16 and 17 it was specifically that Christ healed all who were sick was just for that very instant of that very day when Christ healed all who were sick demon possessed were ought to be healed of them with a word. It's not specifically only for that day when the event was recorded in Matthew chapter 8 verse 16 we need to be healing ministry of Christ when he was on the earth but we see that Christ on the cross when he died he accomplished the fulfillment of what Isaiah prophesied that he took upon himself all the sicknesses of the entire mankind. So it was not specifically for those people who were there on that day when Jesus healed and which Matthew writes about in Matthew chapter 8 and it's also not something that is only pertaining to Christ's ministry when he was ministering people and healing the sick on the earth but it is also relevant for us to be and relevant throughout time till Christ comes back with him and till that time we can receive the full benefit of the cross in terms of Christ taking our sicknesses our diseases and bearing our sicknesses are something that we have accomplished from the cross and it also shows that it's something that we can benefit from this substitutionary suffering even today all of us can benefit from it generations to come can benefit and it's not just for a few of them that are mentioned in Matthew chapter 8 verse 16. So we will look at what are the implications of the spirit of God getting Matthew to quote Isaiah chapter 53 verse 4 in the text that he was writing or when he was talking about Jesus healing the sick there are two important conclusions when we jump on this. The first thing is that when Christ bore our sicknesses and the pain on the cross so that we can experience a full healing and full illness in our bond. So the ultimate purpose of Christ bearing our sickness and pain is so that we can be delivered from our sicknesses we can be delivered from everything that oppresses us, that oppresses us and from everything morning of the ship. The second thing that the important conclusion that we can draw from here is that when Christ bore it all for us on the cross when we bore our sicknesses and disease on the cross we can also share this good news with others and we can also minister to others based on what Jesus has accomplished on the cross based on the benefits that we can receive on the cross. So two things here this is not something that was just for a certain period of time for a certain group of people that is only for the Israelites or for the time period when Jesus was on the earth that people would experience and experience from all their sicknesses, from their genomic oppression but Christ's substitution is suffering on the cross is something that takes us to also take upon himself or to bore upon himself our sicknesses, our pain and diseases and so we can experience healing and full illness in our bond. When you work or you feel all you need to do is just to feel and believe it and receive it with your bodies. The second thing that we know we could receive on what Christ has done is substitutionally suffering on the cross is what was accomplished on the cross with me and Kikis and we know that many of them were suffering and they wanted strongholds, bondages suffering because of pain, sickness, disease and we can declare the finished work of the cross over their bodies and once they receive that healing there will be no what Christ has done for them so we can minister healing and believe in springs from the finished work of the cross like Kikis said when you go and lay hands on the same day to heal, you know you don't have to doubt whether that will happen you don't have to be afraid that if you pray for someone who is unwell, you will see whether they will heal or all you need to do is all you need to believe that you are already healed because of what Christ has done if Christ strikes you are already healed you just have to pronounce it and then pray, stand and prepare it over their bodies and see what you can do in their lives any questions, any doubts? new questions or any doubts so far? so we look at another benefit of Christ's substitutionally suffering on the cross, it became a curse for us the ancient shakhi tree was 13, the one who gave that piece the ancient shakhi tree was 13 Christ has written us from the curse of the Lord having become a curse for us, for it is written cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree okay thank you so here we see that we know the ancient shakhi tree was 13 Christ is between us from the curse of the Lord and we already studied about this in chapter 7 okay how Christ is between us from the curse of the Lord but we will look at the second interpretation of this verse the first interpretation we can look at in chapter 7 that we look at Christ between us from the Lord is like Christ set us free from the curse of the Lord, the Lord brought curse of disobedience for disobedience we couldn't keep the law, we couldn't keep the right demands of the law and hence we were people who always broke the law, we were disobedient to God and as a result of that there was curses that were announced if we do not obey the law and these curses oh God said it happened a list in chapter 28 verses 15 to 6 so we see for telling the people of history that if we keep the law if we don't keep the law, if we break it, these are the curses and the curses are listed in chapter 28 verses 15 to 6 to 8 and these curses could include failure poverty, oppression, any kind of sickness disease, huge shame, brokenness we want oppression, all kind of curses now when Christ suffered on the cross, when he suffered in our place in the substitute he was suffering, we see that he occurs for us and hence he set us free from all the curses of the so all that is written in chapter 28 verses 15 to 6 to 8 does not hold on us anymore does not imply or apply to our lives anymore even though we break the law so long times is because in our place we suffer between a curse that we will set us free from all the curses of the law any questions, any doubts about this we move on and the last point here we see is when Christ took our place, he suffered on our behalf and he stayed back for a brief one he pushed chapter 2 verse 9 but we see Jesus who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor that he by the grace of God might taste death for everyone thank you so we see that Jesus not only took on himself our sins, our sicknesses, our poverty, our curses but he even died in our place he died on our behalf and Jesus experienced death for every individual person we are talking about death we are not just talking about the physical death but we are talking about eternal death he died so that we all can just see eternal life so that we can all live with God through this and we can enjoy eternal life forever so Christ by dying on the cross he died in our place and he stayed back for everyone so that we can just see eternal life any questions, any doubts about this chapter anything that you are not able to hear clearly, understand I can share those points again please sorry for the problem with the voice and the sound I will try to do something about it meaning that you did not hear clearly this echoing and you wanted to explain again or any point that you did not understand you wanted to explain anything that you want me to explain again that you did not hear clearly if it's that class or something okay, if you have any understanding or something so you can hear clearly the video lecture will be posted on the stream page you can access the video and you can hear about it okay, if not there is no questions no doubts, nothing you want me to explain again okay, other than the sound is there any other feedback the classes you would want me to work on share your feedback please feel free to share am I too fast is the pace of going through the contents is it okay or is it too fast is it too rushed do you want me to go a little slower it is okay Basta it's okay, thank you John because we are almost finishing the portion so we have a lot of time so I can still do some of the chapters you want me to do again so please feel free to ask anyone else has any other suggestions any areas of improvement for the class if we want to share okay, if not we end last here okay I'll just wait for a couple more minutes if anyone wants to give any suggestions areas of improvement if you would like to go to the chat section if you would like to go to the chat section okay, if not we end last here thank you all for joining class I'll see you on the next okay, thank you everybody have a blessed day everyone thank you Basta thank you so much
