JESUS CHRIST, THE PLENIPOTENTIARY FOR OUR SINS
According to Dictionary.com, a plenipotentiary is one who is “invested with full power or
authority to transact business on behalf of another.” This term accurately characterizes both the
mission and message of our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ.
In order to reverse our fore-parents’ willful violation of our
original created covenant and intimate fellowship with God, Jesus Christ was
born (humbly) into a fallen world system, as very God and very man. That is, He was human enough to connect with
us, but He was God enough to correct us.
How so? By living a
life of sinless perfection and by dying vicariously on the cross, He satisfied
the righteous demands of God and He paved the pathway for our complete at-one-ment
with the Father.
Words cannot adequately convey our eternal gratitude for
His willingness to submit to the unjust judgments of men and the incomprehensible
agonies of the cross.
On this Good Friday, I celebrate the life and legacy of our
Lord. He died for me. He literally went to hell in my name so that
I could go to Heaven in His name. He
died for you. He literally went to hell
in your name so that you could go to Heaven in His name.
Ephesians 4:7-10 New King James Version (NKJV)
7 But to each one of us grace
was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
8 Therefore He says: “When He
ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.”
9 (Now this, “He
ascended”—what does it mean but that He also first descended into
the lower parts of the earth?
10 He who descended is also
the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
What can I say, other than this?
Jesus, I’ll never forget what You’ve done for me…
Jesus, I’ll never forget how You set me free…
Jesus, I’ll never forget how You brought me out…
Jesus, I’ll never forget…no never!
Thank you, JESUS!
Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and
please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING.
Maranatha!
