The next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, Look! There is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29... The sins of the world were resting squarely on Adam's shoulders. In Romans 5:12 we see that by one man sin entered into the world. So, Adam had all the sin on his shoulders. Can you just imagine Pappa, Holy Spirit, and Jesus looking on Adam and seeing the guilt and shame he wore? Can't you imagine Jesus looking to God the Father and saying, "I can't stand it any longer,I'm going to get him." The Father said, "You know what it will take." Jesus replied, Yes, my blood and my life. At Calvary, when He said, "My God, why have you forsaken me?" Jesus felt Adam's loneliness, pain and shame. In the book written by Nicodemus, he gives the account of Jesus going into hell and rescuing those imprisoned by satan. Who do you think was the first one He rescued? It was our grandfather Adam! I believe Adam felt the same as we should feel now...THANKFUL. Behold the Lamb of God who has taken away the sins of the world. What can take away my sin? Nothing but the blood of JESUS!!!Thank You Jesus.
Exodus 34:6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering , and abounding in goodness and truth... In this verse IS the disposition of Messiah. The early church used this important verse to judge prophecy and conduct in the church atmosphere. There were three elders who were in charge of hearing and deciding if what was said and done in that time was in the disposition of Messiah. In this very shaky and explosive time we are living in (exciting & wonderful time I might add) it would serve us well if we would write this verse on the tablet of our heart and in every circumstance, situation we find ourselves apply it rightly and justly. By doing this, we, as the body of Christ, will start looking like the "church" the public has never seen!!!
