Completion
1st Peter 2:24, “He (Jesus) personally bore
our sins in His [own] body on the tree [as on an altar and offered Himself on
it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness, By
His wounds you have been healed.”
The body Jesus took to the cross was one of corruptible
human flesh as well as the supernatural (divine Godhead, second Person of the
Trinity). The body of Jesus the Holy
Spirit resurrected from the grave was only
the divine Godhead, second Person of the Trinity with a supernatural body. His resurrected body no longer bore flesh,
blood, and bone components. The human body (flesh, blood, bones) characteristics
were necessary for His earthly mission, however when it was completed, He shed
those physical body components.
It is important for Believers to know and understand that
the physical body of Jesus took the beating, scourging, wounding, and death purposefully. It is also important to know that the physical
part of Jesus completed its work of bearing (in His own body) the penalty for
sin and sickness.
Isaiah 53:5 says,
“But He (Jesus) was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our
guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being
for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that at wounded] Him we are healed
and made whole.”
The sins of the Believer (every man who accepts and follows
Christ) were laid upon the human flesh body of Jesus as well as upon Jesus the
divine Godhead, second Person of the Trinity.
The human flesh body of Jesus no longer exists. It served its purpose and was shed at the
resurrection. When Jesus comes to live
inside of a newly created man (Believer, 2nd Corinthians 5:17), He
comes as the supernatural divine Godhead, second Person of the Trinity Who once
bore human flesh. He brings completion
to this new creation (Believer) because He has already dealt with everything
that would defeat him in this life.
Colossians
2: 9-10
“For in Him
(Jesus) the whole fullness of Deity (the Godhead) continues to dwell in bodily
(the resurrected) form [giving complete expression of the divine nature]. And
you are in Him,
made full and having come to fullness of life [in Christ
you too are filled with the God-head—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and reach
full spiritual stature]. And He (Jesus)
is the Head of all rule and authority [of every angelic principality and
power].”
John
14:23
“Jesus answered, if a person [really] loves me. he will
keep my word [obey my teachings]; and My Father will love him, and We will come
to him and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him.”
John
1:16
“For out of His (Jesus) fullness (abundance) we have all
received [all had a share and we were all supplied with] one grace after
another and spiritual blessing upon spiritual
blessing and even favor upon favor and gift [heaped] upon gift.”
The
following truths are revealed in the previous scriptures:
The fullness of the God-head is in Christ Jesus.
The Believer has the Presence of the God-head inside of him
upon accepting Jesus.
The Believer is full and complete in Christ Jesus.
The Believer has entitlements because of being in Christ
Jesus
The resurrected Jesus who comes to live inside of the
Believer no longer has the flesh and blood body that bore the penalty for sin,
sickness, poverty, and spiritual death. In the resurrected Jesus is the fullness of
the God-head with penalties paid and mission finished. That physical body was
done away at the cross. The cross also abolished our sin, sickness, poverty, and
spiritual death. These things are forever
settled for us with the presence of the God-head in us! Hallelujah!
The penalty for
sin, sickness, poverty, and spiritual death has been paid by Jesus Christ who
lives inside of you, Galatians 5:1, “In (this) freedom Christ has made us free
[and completely liberated us ]stand fast then, and do not be hampered and held
ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [which you have once put off].”
·
When sin and spiritual death challenges your
flesh, remember sin has already been laid upon the flesh of Jesus Christ and shall
not be laid upon you.
2nd Corinthians 5:21.
“For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be
sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [endued with,
viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to
be approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His
goodness.”
·
When sickness challenges your flesh, remember
sickness has already been laid upon the flesh of Jesus Christ and shall not be
laid your flesh.
Isaiah 53:5
“But He (Jesus)
was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and
iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us
was upon Him, and with the stripes [that at wounded] Him we are healed and made
whole.”
·
When poverty challenges your life, remember
poverty has been laid upon the flesh of Jesus Christ and shall not be laid upon
you.
2nd Corinthians 8:9.
“… [in] that
though He was] so very rich] yet for your sakes He became [so very] poor, in
order that by His poverty you might become enriched (abundantly supplied)”
Have
you waited upon the Lord for anything?
The completed work has already been done. It will manifest in the natural because God
completes everything from the end to the beginning. (All Scripture Amplified
Version)
