Jesus Was Offered for You
Dr RJ Sing
“The time of judgment for the world has come and the time when satan, the prince of this world, shall be cast out.”
We are being well represented at the Throne of God. He didn’t do anything for Himself; He did all of it for us. Jesus is appearing right now, in the presence of God for us. Let’s look at Hebrews 9:25-26, “Nor yet that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath He appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.”(KJV)
Jesus put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Sin has no dominion over you! “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Hebrews 9:27-28 (KJV).
What does it mean that He would appear without sin? Jesus never sinned, but He did become sin after He died physically on the cross. He will appear the second time without sin. “I haven't yet ascended…” John 20:17. Jesus has entered Heaven itself and now appears before the Father on your behalf. He appeared once and for all doing away with sin altogether by the sacrifice of Himself. The Lord Jesus Christ was offered up on your behalf.
