He was as humbled as a Lambkin...
Yeshua,
the ultimate atonement of the world’s sins (part 2)

Testament with keywords Concordance-CLNT: Colossians 1:12-20; Isaiah 53:4-10
Isaiah
53:4-10
4 Surely
He Himself bears our illnesses, And our pains, He is burdened with them; As for
us, we account Him assaulted, Smitten of Elohim and humbled.
5 Yet He is wounded because of our transgressions, And crushed because of our
depravities. The discipline of our well-being is on Him, And with His welts
comes healing for us.
6 All of us, like a flock, we stray; Each to his own way, we turn around, Yet
Yahweh Himself causes to come upon Him. the depravity of us all.
7 Hard pressed is He, and He is humbled, Yet He is not opening His mouth; Like
a flocking to slaughter is He fetched, And as a ewe before her shearers is
mute, He is not opening His mouth.
8 From restraint and from judgment He is taken, And on His generation, who is
meditating? For He is severed from the land of the living; Because of the
transgression of My people, He is led to death.
9 And they appoint His tomb with the wicked, With the rich His sepulcher,
Although He does no wrong, And no deceit is in His mouth.
10 Yet Yahweh, He desires to crush Him, And He causes Him to be wounded. Should
His soul place a guilt offering, He shall see a seed, He shall lengthen days,
And the desire of Yahweh, it shall prosper in His hand.
Colossians
1:12-20
2 at the
same time giving thanks to the Father, Who makes you competent for a part of
the allotment of the saints, in light,
13 Who rescues us out of the jurisdiction of Darkness, and transports us into
the kingdom of the Son of His love,
14 in Whom we are having the deliverance, the pardon of sins,
15 Who is the Image of the invisible God, Firstborn of every creature,
16 for in Him is all created, that in the heavens and that on the earth, the
visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or sovereignties, or
authorities, all is created through Him and for Him,
17 and He is before all, and all has its cohesion in Him.
18 And He is the Head of the body, the ecclesia, Who is Sovereign, Firstborn
from among the dead, that in all He may be becoming first,
19 for in Him the entire complement delights to dwell,
20 and through Him to reconcile all to Him (making peace through the blood of
His cross), through Him, whether those on the earth or those in the heavens.
By
this time, you may be wandering how did Yahweh execute his plans. This week
hopes to conclude Yahweh’s plans of atonement for the sins of humanity. You would
want to know why the sacrifice Yeshua made was once and for all does not
require further sacrifice. I would explain this briefly in this week’s blog.
Have
you ever seen how grape juice is processed? After grapes are ripe, farmers harvest
them. Then, they are plucked from their stems, washed and crushed. Crushing is
the most harmful part of the process. Grape juice cannot be completed without
crushing. This is how Yahweh crushed Yeshua, his son. He stripped him of his
glory. He made sure he was not born in the house of rich parents. He made sure
the son was taken away from those who wanted to murder him. As a matter of
fact, a lot of babies were murdered by King Herod (Matthew 2:16-18) to preserve him from his haters. He could have prevented this incidence but he let it happen. He let this poor boy suffered unnecessary relocation. It is just like when you see a son of a very rich man becoming homeless without offending his father. That is a serious issue. What a kind of crushing!
He
grew up in the foreign land until all his haters were dead. He was brought into
a remote village in Judea to avoid possible haters who might still be looking
to murder him. He learnt obedience from his parents. He learnt carpentry from
his step-father. He lost his step-father along the line. He became a young man
ready for his divine task. He was baptized by his cousin. His cousin knew this
young man as a special and highly esteemed being and should not have come for
baptism. So, he hesitated not to baptize him. However, this young man was humble
enough to be baptized by his cousin. He travelled far and near from his home
town for 3 years and 6 months with the message of the Kingdom of his father
(Yahweh). He went about doing good because the spirit of Yahweh was operating
in him (Acts 10:38 paraphrased).
He
borne the diseases, sicknesses, curses and needs of people. He was blamed for
things he did not do. He became subject of ridicule to many people (Isaiah
53). He fed thousands of people yet he had no dime in his personal treasury (John
6:1-13). He hid himself from being
crowned as the king of Jew because it was not yet his time (John 6:15). He
avoided people’s praise because he was not the man for people but the man of
the people. He called himself the son of man when he practically knew that he
was the son of God. Such a humble man in his Jew’s body suit! He made many people happy when he suffered silently.
He even made Judas Iscariot who happened to be a thief to be his treasurer (John 13:29). He chose some fishermen to be his disciples (Mark 1:16-17). He chose tax collector (Matthew 9:9) among others to walk with him. He had no chariot yet he was capable of acquiring 6 horses’ chariot for himself and at least one chariot for each of his disciples. He walked long distances on feet in most of his days under scorching sun and heavy winds. He walked on water and water suspended the law of gravity under his feet. This man began to hide from his haters until Yahweh’s appointed time for him to be crucified. He was cheaply arrested (John 18:1-11 and Mark 14:5) with the help of the one he trusted to his treasury. His most trusted disciple betrayed him (Matthew 26:71-75).
Do you think he could not have talked
himself out of this ordeal when he faced the Sanhedrin (Matthew 26:57-68 and
Pilate (Matthew chapter 27:11-14)? Of course, but just like Isaiah 53 said, he
was mute the way a sheep would be in the present of his shearers. He was
humbled to the point of crucifixion (Philippians chapter 2). Yahweh could not bear to look at the agony and the crushing of his son on the pole (Matthew 27:45) as darkness filled the place of crucifixion for 3 hours! It was a sad day in the heavens. It was a necessary evil day in the plan of Yahweh through his son for humanity.
He could have talked himself out of accusations but he barely spoke...
Such
a crushing from Yahweh depicts that it pleased Yahweh that his only begotten
son went through all these to fulfil his plan of atonement for the sins of the
humanity (Isaiah 53:4). I do not think any Angel/Messenger could have endure this huge task.
His
sacrifice was done once for all (Hebrew 7:27). There is no need for further
sacrifice and atonement. This is why his blood is pure, innocent and perfect
for atonement of sins. His blood still keeps washing us from all our sins (1 John 1:7). When
Yahweh told Moses in Exodus chapter 12:13 that he would pass over them whenever
he sees the blood of the lambkin on their door posts, it depicts the blood of his son would not only be shed to atone for the sins of humanity but to also
protect people from disasters. So, when he sees the blood of his son on humanity,
he shows mercy and grace on them.
What else does his blood do?
Apart
from atonement of sins, it removes curses, death, sicknesses, diseases and all
other spiritual entanglements. His blood is not a thing of joke to Yahweh.
Satan and his folks dread his blood. Do you now understand the importance of
this precious blood? Blood is power. It is a spiritual currency in spiritual
realm. The blood shed by Yeshua is pure, powerful, potent, precious and
priceless! We are justified by his blood (Romans 5:9). His blood signifies the forgiveness of our sins (Hebrews 9:22). Would you plead his blood today?
In
conclusion, I do not know who both last week and this week’s blogs are for, but
they would do whatever Yahweh has for humanity. People need to fully understand
the implications of the atonement Yeshua did for them by walking in the light
of his undying love and the sacrifice he made for them. What an unmatched
Super-Hero! No Super Hero matched him. He is far better than any best you can think of. Oh by the way, he was hung on the tree/pole not on the cross. Cross is satanic but it is subtle for public to accept. I believe you should know this truth. Western theologians love to manipulate the truth.
Wow! Oh,
come to the father through Yeshua the son and give him (Yahweh) the glory for
the great work of salvation he has done through his dear son. Praise Yah for this precious blood.
Grace
and Peace!
He was hung on a tree/pole not on the cross...

Crushing Yeshua was painful but is gainful. Thanks to Yahweh for letting Yeshua go through this for humanity. John1:29 was fulfilled just as many other scriptures.
