Resurrection Of The Messiah As The Pattern Of The Redeemed

Introduction: This is the third message in our new study we have called Christmas Series Session Three

God’s great love not only blessed the pinnacle of His creation, mankind to have dominion over the entire earth, but also included a fix for the awful problem that the devil, after his fall from God’s grace, foisted on to Adam, which produced death for everyone thereafter. However, since man was created in God’s image, and was marred by sin into death, God already had a plan to redeem all who believe in HIM from death, and it is realized when God was manifested in the flesh in JESUS, to provide evangelism, sanctification, redemption and resurrection!

Old Testament Scripture Reading: Psalms 16:8 – 11 (KJV)

Psa 16:8  I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Psa 16:9  Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

Psa 16:10  For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Psa 16:11  Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

 

New Testament Scripture Reading: Hebrews 11:6 – 19 (KJV)

Heb 11:6  But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Heb 11:7  By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

Heb 11:8  By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

Heb 11:9  By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

Heb 11:10  For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

Heb 11:11  Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

Heb 11:12  Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

Heb 11:13  These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

Heb 11:14  For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

Heb 11:15  And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

Heb 11:16  But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

Heb 11:17  By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

Heb 11:18  Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

Heb 11:19  Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

Transforming Power Statements:

1) David the sweet Psalmist of Israel, who was considered the greatest king of Israel, had been given this meditation that was not ever fully realized until Jesus Christ, God’s Only Begotten Son, was manifested in the flesh, (i.e. the first Christmas John 1:14) that God had a fix for the penalty for sin which is death, and that the fix would be through evangelism, redemption, sanctification and finally resurrection for all who believe!

2) The decline of the governments of mankind is a repeating cycle that continues producing everything from complete unbelief, to false gods of every stripe, every form of godless behavior and degradations that mar the image of God in which mankind was created, to the point that every kingdom establishment of all mankind always crumbled and produced godless nation after godless nation from the beginning of the world and has continued even up to today, therefore, God, THE ALMIGHTY, has been evangelizing people from Adam to Noah, and through the seed of Abraham {JESUS} via Israel, to manifest Himself as man, {the first Christmas}in order to defeat death and the grave even against the oppositions of evil human governments, who propagate godless philosophies and false religion!

3) Every since the fall of Adam (who was created in the image of God),( who willfully sinned against God and caused death to descend upon the entire human family), all mankind has been held under the verdict of Adam’s penalty which is death, however, the great news, (which God had already known about and planned for all believers) is that God had already made arrangements for His Only Begotten Son, JESUS The CHRIST to execute death and provide VICTORY for all who believe in HIM by resurrection from the dead, and this plan was realized in the flesh when the Manifestation of God in the image of man took place on the very first Christmas! HALLELUJAH!
