The Grace of Jesus II

Sunday, in New Creation Church, Pastor Lian preached great sermon on the Love of God. Praise the Lord!

So far, my understanding of why Lord Jesus cut a covenant for us is because He is without sin while we have our sinful nature. Also, we cannot be eternal like Jesus could. Sunday, Pastor Lian opened my eyes to see a new meaning on this Great Sacrifice by Lord and what a Great covenant Abba father has given us.

Pastor Lian demonstrated the covenant cutting between God the Father and Jesus Christ in place of Abraham. Lord through Pastor Lian disclosed that we could not cut this covenant with God because, in a covenant cutting, all of God goodness is given to us. At the same time, all of us supposed to give to God. But we are not giving all of us to God, we are only giving all our bad to Him. The good of us we keep. As such, we cannot be the one cutting. Lord Jesus could because He give His body, soul and spirit to God for us in exchange of all the Goodness of God for us. We are more than conqueror in this deal. We keep our good and received all the blessings of God in our life. Glory Glory! What a revelation!!!

Pastor Lian also show how a Child of God, which is the righteousness of God in Christ not receiving blessings. She used the life of Abraham and Lot, his nephew. Lot exposed his daily life (hearing and looking) to all the sins in the place he stayed that his spirit was tormented. His life was not blessed. He had to run away from the town empty handed because that town was being judged. He also lost his wife in the process. He pregnanted his 2 daughters that gave rise to confused relationship. Their children don't know should call Lot their grandfather or father.

While, Abraham exposed himself to God Words, reading the stars Lord shown to him and looking at the blood covenant of Jesus that was provided. Through his daily looking and hearing God words and looking at Jesus Sacrifice at the cross, he was greatly blessed by God. Praise the Lord!!!

So, do you want to be like Abraham and get greatly blessed or looking and hearing the world news about the bad and looking at sin and not blessed like Lot?

Lord Jesus said chose the one good thing Mary did, sitting at His Feet. Don't be like Martha looking around her..so many mouth to feed ...and within her...the inability to cook for so many of them.

Thank You, Abba, to speak so clearly to me! Hallelujah!!! Amen & Amen!!!
