The Cross: God's Plan For The God-Man
The Cross Was For God's Plan
A Lamb For A Man Genesis 4:4 Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the LORD respected Abel and his offering, Genesis 22: Then he said, "Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?" 8 And Abraham said, "My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering." So the two of them went together.
A Lamb For A Family Exodus 12: Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said to them, "Pick out and take lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the Passover lamb.22 And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin.
A Lamb For A Nation Leviticus 23 The feast of firstfruits: 12 And you shall offer on that day, when you wave the sheaf, a male lamb of the first year, without blemish, as a burnt offering to the LORD.
A Lamb For The World John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!"
Isaiah 53: 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions; … 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.
A Lamb For The Redeemed
Revelation 5: And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, .. " You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, … 12 " Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!"
A Lamb For You? 1Peter 1: 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.20 He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you
The Cross Was For The God-Man
The SuperNatural Son Of God
Christ Jesus,6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
The Sinless Son Of God
The Sovereign Son Of God
The Sacrificial Son Of God
In evil long I took delight, Unawed by shame or fear;
Till a new object struck my sight, And stopped my wild career.
I saw one hanging on a tree, In agonies and blood;
Who fixed his languid eyes on me, As near his cross I stood.
Sure, never till my latest breath, Can I forget that look;
It seemed to charge me with his death,Though not a word he spoke.
My conscience felt, and owned the guilt, And plunged me in despair;
I saw my sins his blood had spilt, And helped to nail him there.
Alas! I knew not what I did, But now my tears are vain;
Where shall my trembling soul be hid? For I the LORD have slain.
A second look he gave, which said, "I freely all forgive;
This blood is for thy ransom paid, I die, that thou may'st live."
Thus, while his death my sin displays, In all its blackest hue;
(Such is the mystery of grace) It seals my pardon too.
With pleasing grief and mournful joy, My spirit now is filled;
That I should such a life destroy, Yet live by him I killed.
