But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. He is despised and rejected of men a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him he was despised, and we esteemed him not. What if today was no different? “For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. What is it that Paul was teaching us? Who is the god of this world? Why did Jesus say what He did? Jesus Heals The Blind Manĭuring Christ’s ministry, he was hated. Or, specifically, what was He trying to tell us? Paul also teaches in 2 Corinthians, “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” Wait just a minute. Why, in fact, did He say it to Peter? Why in the other verse that we looked at did He say, “Because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not?” What was it that the Messiah was telling them. Although, let’s take a moment and consider something. Man, that sounds pretty scary, being called Satan and that your father is the devil. He told a group of religious zealots, “Ye are of your father the devil and the lusts of your father ye will do… And because I tell you to the truth, ye believe me not.” After Peter tried rebuking the LORD, He stated, “Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.” Insight of truth: Till he gets unveiled, he may not profit you, we uncover always the coffee pack when we want to consume it, consuming Christ covered is so bitter.When Jesus Christ came preaching to the world, He came with something other than what the world teaches us. For exemple, we uncover always the coffee pack when we want to consume, consuming Christ covered is so bitter, that is why we see our beloved Christians not enjoying salvation, because he is covered, get him unveiled and see what joy he brings in your life Till he gets unveiled, he may not profit you. Minister of the gospel, is what you deliver proportional to that which you received? or there is no line of distinction between the admired and the received sacred mysteries of God. Today the veil ought to be taken away, you cannot live your life on assumptions taught by religion you have to see him. So the blindness was on them I mean the pharisee, there is a veil that hinders man to see God, this is scripture separate from revelation, it creates religion which is structured like God but without God Explain to me how could the Pharisee read scripture and fail to see Christ and Paul opens the same scripture and see him in glory and splendor.īut their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament which vail is done away in Christ. Jesus was once shadowed by scripture and now he is fully revealed by the same scripture, yet many people hit shipwreck while approaching the revelation of Christ. Paul saw the death of christ according to scripture not according to mere circumstances that got the son of God killed, to Paul, scriptures are responsible for the death of Christ. We need to understand that he was once a mystery, he is the rock by which Israelites drunk, he was the pillar of the cloud which led them by day.Īll the above were typologies and shadows of he who was to come, he is more than a rock that gives water, he is the rock on which the church is built you cannot grasp the revelation of Christ till you open scriptures. The Bible presents Christ as a mystery that was hidden but now revealed which is the hope of our glory. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
