OLAADEGBU: The Betrayal Of The Prince Of Peace. Mark 14:43-52 The Steps of the crucifixion of Christ. The Betrayal of our Lord Jesus Christ. Mark 14:43-52 KJV And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. [44] And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely. [45] And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him. [46] And they laid their hands on him, and took him. [47] And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. [48] And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me? [49] I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled. [50] And they all forsook him, and fled. [51] And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body ; and the young men laid hold on him: [52] And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked. Christ the Prince of Peace Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:7 KJV Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. He is the One that has come to procure peace in our inner man, The Betrayal Of The Prince Of Peace. 1. The Betrayer Mark 14:43-45 KJV And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. [44] And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely. [45] And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him. Why do we say it's the betrayal by the son of perdition? John 17:12 KJV While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. Characteristics of this son of perdition. i) The caution of the betrayer. ii) The covetousness of the betrayer. Matthew 26:15 KJV And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. Judas is here negotiating with the Pharisees. Shame of Judas Iscariot. He was going to sell Jesus of the price of a slave. Matthew 26:16 KJV And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him. The attitude of the covetous. iii) The conduct of a betrayer. Matthew 26:48 KJV Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. Because He Has power. Matthew 26:49-50 KJV And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him. [50] And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. Yet as a friend he loved money more than Christ who gave him gift in healing, to succeed in ministry. He was acting like a friend but was an enemy. A friendly foe. iv) The cohorts of the betrayer Mark 14:44 KJV And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely. John 18:5 KJV They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. He had changed his fellowship, no more in fellowship with the disciples of Christ. v) The consultation with the betrayer Matthew 26:2-4 KJV Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. [3] Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, [4] And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him. Can you think of a real disciple consulting with those who wanted Jesus crucified? Luke 22:3-4 KJV Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. [4] And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. It was a premeditated action. He negotiated with them. Luke 22:5-6 KJV And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. [6] And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude. vi) The callousness of the betrayer Matthew 24:10 KJV And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. He loved money more than he loved the Lord. Matthew 24:11 KJV And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. There will be deception, hypocrisy that will lead to betrayal. Matthew 24:12 KJV And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. His love had waxed cold. When your love waxes cold you will do anything that will lead to the betrayal of Christ. 1 Chronicles 12:17 KJV And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it. Betrayal did not start at the time of Jesus Christ it will continue even till the last day. 2 Timothy 3:1-4 KJV This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. [2] For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, [3] Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, [4] Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; The Lord revealed the conduct of the betrayer. vi)The condemnation of the betrayer Matthew 27:3-5 KJV Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, [4] Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. [5] And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. If we confess our sins to God He is merciful to forgive. How can a sinner pardon a sinner. If you are going to be forgive you confess your sin to God. Acts 1:16-20 KJV Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. [17] For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. [18] Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. [19] And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood. [20] For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take. Acts 1:25 KJV That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. Psalm 41:9 KJV Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. Psalm 55:12-14 KJV For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it : neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: [13] But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. [14] We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. Psalm 109:6-8 KJV Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. [7] When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. [8] Let his days be few; and let another take his office. Prophecy that will come to Judas and all those who will follow in the same example. 2. The Breach of Scripture Despite Prohibition Mark 14:47 KJV And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. Without prayer and watchfulness we might fall into what Jesus warned us of. Genesis 9:6 KJV Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. Revelation 13:10 KJV He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. i) The Carnal weapon used by a prayerless warrior Mark 14:47 KJV And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 KJV For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: [4] (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds) There are things that happen in the natural world but we do not use the carnal weapons of the world. When something happens to your child you do not depend on carnal methods but prayer. 1 Corinthians 6:1-10 KJV Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? [2] Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? [3] Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? [4] If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. [5] I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? [6] But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. [7] Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? [8] Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. [9] Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, [10] Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. You do not employ carnal methods to solve spiritual problems. Leaders, brothers goes to law before unbelievers. Telling us not to apply ii) Christ's warning against prohibited warfare Matthew 26:52 KJV Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Luke 22:49-51 KJV When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? [50] And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. [51] And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. John 18:36 KJV Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. The Lord wants us to watch over our feelings and actions and reactions when somebody has hurt you or somebody that you love (Your wife/husband/child). iii) Courageous watchfulness in this present world. Jesus Christ was courageous. We who are Christians should not say we are watchful like a coward or a victim. Don't revenge but be courageous. You will not cry before the devil but remain courageous. 1 Peter 2:19-22 KJV For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. [20] For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. [21] For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: [22] Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: You don't negotiate with evil doers. You pray. Follow in His steps. If you are coward, confrontational, crushed, conflicts, getting angry but calm, cool, courageous and stand your ground and following the scriptures and want the scriptures be fulfilled in your lives. You will not sin when temptation, trial and betrayal comes. 1 Peter 2:23 KJV Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: The graciousness of suffering quietly. Don't threaten because we are suffering. We must be courageous and be watchful over our attitude, over our hearts. May the Lord continue to give us the grace to be what the Lord wants us to be. 3. The Basis Of The Surrender Of the Prince Mark 14:48-52 KJV And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me? [49] I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled. [50] And they all forsook him, and fled. [51] And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body ; and the young men laid hold on him: [52] And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked. i) The indomitable supremacy of the supernatural prince Matthew 26:53-54 KJV Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? [54] But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? John 18:4-6 KJV Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? [5] They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. [6] As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. His presence demonstrated the power of the almighty. ii) His indispensable surrender despite supreme power John 10:17-18 KJV Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. [18] No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. He gave Himself because He thought about our salvation more than His suffering. He did it voluntary because it is necessary and indispensable. iii) The indescribable sacrifice of the solitary priest Mark 14:50-52 KJV And they all forsook him, and fled. [51] And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body ; and the young men laid hold on him: [52] And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked. Jesus bore it all alone. He is our High Priest, He laid down for us. John 16:32 KJV Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. Every word Jesus had predicted had come to pass. Hebrews 9:7,11-12,14-15,22,27-28 KJV But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: [11] But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; [12] Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. [14] How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? [15] And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. [22] And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. [27] And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: [28] 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. Galatians 2:20 KJV I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Ephesians 5:2 KJV And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. 1 Timothy 2:4-6 KJV Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. [5] For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; [6] Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Titus 2:14 KJV Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. |

Bible Study (August 03, 2020) || So Great Salvation Through His Great Suffering Mark 15:33-41 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6j50XVvr1I Christ had a great suffering to be our Substitute, Saviour, sin-Bearer and final Sacrifice for everyone. John the Baptist had said, by the Spirit of God, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." To achieve that, Christ became the sacrificial, suffering, slain and smitten Lamb. Through His great suffering, we earned His great salvation. 1. THE MYSTERY OF HIS SAYINGS ON THE CROSS Mark 15:33,34 Mark recorded the first thing Christ said on the cross. Then Matthew, Luke and John added other details to reveal to us the seven sayings of Christ on the cross. They are: i. “My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?” Mark 15:34; Psalm 22:1a,6-8,14-18; Isaiah 53:6,8; 1 Peter 3:18 All that happened to Christ had been predicted and prophesied in the Scriptures. David's writing more than a thousand years before was about the Messiah. That is why Psalm 22 is referred to as the Messianic Psalm. Thus, Christ was forsaken because our load of sin, shame and punishment was laid on Him. ii. “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” Luke 23:34; Acts 5:30,31; 1 Thessalonians 2:15,16; 2 Peter 3:9 Christ has made intercession and brought forgiveness for all sinners. Those sinners who crucified Him did not know the decision of the almighty God from the foundation of the world concerning Christ’s death. Although they thought they were getting rid of Him, they never knew that was His path to be our Saviour, sovereign Lord and King. But He prayed for them. Forgiveness comes as a gift from Christ. As people come to Him, He makes them to repent genuinely. However, the prayer of Jesus does not give automatic forgiveness. There must be repentance before forgiveness of sin. Those responsible for His crucifixion were not forgiven because they continued to perpetrate their evil and were “contrary to all men,” the Father and to Christ. Therefore, the wrath of God “is come upon them to the uttermost.” iii. “Today shalt thou be with Me in paradise." Luke 23:41-43; Hebrews 7:25,26; 13:8; Romans 10:9,10,13 The thief on the cross did not have the privilege of being baptized with water but he believed in the Lord. He never had the opportunity of taking the Lord's Supper or to do restitution because he was dying on the cross. He confessed he was suffering for his wrong deeds. However, the sacrifice and shedding of the blood of Christ brought total salvation to him. His body was taken down and eventually buried, but his spirit and soul went immediately to heaven. This means when a believer dies, immediately, he is taken from earth to heaven. iv. “Woman, behold thy son! Behold thy mother!” John 19:26,27; 1 Timothy 5:4; Matthew 25:40; Ephesians 6:2,3 Christ was going to heaven, leaving His mother on earth. But He did not leave the mother just like that. He handed her to John who “took her unto his own home.” We must not forget our parents. We should take care of and honour them because that is the first commandment with promise. v. “I thirst.” John 19:28,29; Psalm 69:21; John 4:13,14; Matthew 5:6; John 7:37-39 Christ made this statement because He was to fulfil the Scripture. He was thirsty on our behalf. He suffered the pains of thirst and drained out of blood and water to provide righteousness for us. The Lord expects us to thirst and become saved, sanctified and godly. He also wants us to thirst for the power of the Holy Ghost and He gives us the refreshing of the Spirit in all fullness from heaven. vi. “It is finished.” John 19:30; Daniel 9:24; John 17:4; Hebrews 12:1,2 Our redemption, salvation, sanctification, Holy Ghost baptism, healing and deliverance are perfected and finished, including our victory and dominion. There is nothing else to do. Therefore, those who need salvation and deliverance should not delay because it is provided already and heaven has affirmed its availability. vii. “Father, into Thy Hands I commend my spirit.” Luke 23:46; Psalm 31:5; 2 Timothy 1:12; 1 Peter 4:19 This is the final word Christ said on the cross. It is an example for us to commit our souls into His hands to keep. Paul and other apostles did the same. 2. THE MARVEL IN THE SANCTUARY AFTER HIS CRY Mark 15:35-38 “And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.”No hand of any man was involved in this. It was the supernatural act of God. In this part, we shall consider three things: i. The misinterpretation of sinners around the cross Mark 15:35,36; John 8:43,44; 12:27-34; Psalm 69:21; Acts 13:26,27,38,39 “The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.” They misunderstood and misinterpreted the sayings of Christ on the cross. ii. The means of our salvation in Christ (His death) Mark 15:37; Romans 5:6-11; 10:9,10,13; Hebrews 2:9-15; 1 Peter 3:18 Christ’s death is for our salvation. His shed blood brings forgiveness; it makes us justified and saved from the wrath to come. Sinners should therefore confess with their mouth and believe in their heart that God raised Him from the dead. His death is the means of our entire salvation and deliverance from Satan and the consequences of sin. It is available today for everyone. iii. The ministry of His submission to all Christians Mark 15:38; Hebrews 9:3,8,9,14; 10:19-22; 2 Corinthians 3:14-18; Titus 2:14 The veil in the tabernacle separated the holiest of all from the rest of the temple. It was not open to all the people in Israel. But now, because of the death of Christ, the veil that divided the holiest of all from the rest of the tabernacle has been “rent in twain from the top to the bottom.” We can now come through the outer court (salvation), to the holy place of the tabernacle (sanctification), to the holy of holies (baptism in the Holy Ghost). 3. THE MESSIAH WAS OUR SUBSTITUTE ON THE CROSS Mark 15:39-41 The centurion affirmed that what Christ had said about Himself was true. i. Truly this was the Son of God Mark 15:39-41; Matthew 27:45,51,54; Acts 8:33,35-38; Galatians 2:20; Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 John 3:8,9 The people around the cross feared greatly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God”. We are not to fear now; rather, we should believe, appreciate and embrace it that truly, Christ is the Son of God. As you believe that He is the Son of God, you will obtain salvation and keep living “by the faith of the Son of God”. ii. Truly this is the Saviour sent from God Acts 3:22-26; Hebrews 7:22-26; Acts 5:30,31; 1 Timothy 2:3-6; Titus 2:11-14 “Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.”Christ is our Saviour and He is able to save to the uttermost. He will save you if you receive Him as your Saviour because He has paid the price for your salvation. iii. Truly this was the Sacrifice acceptable to God Hebrews 9:26-28; 1 Corinthians 5:7,8; Hebrews 10:12-14; 13:20,21; Ephesians 5:2,25-27; Romans 10:13 Christ has “put away sin by the sacrifice of himself”; and everything that Calvary has provided is available and can be ours if we “call upon the name of the Lord." |

Bible Study (August 10, 2020) || Christ's Death And Burial According To The Scriptures Mark 15:42-47 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHkga57wGWo This study focuses on Christ's death and burial according to the Scriptures. 1. THE VICARIOUS DEATH OF CHRIST JESUS Mark 15:42-45 The vicarious death of Christ refers to His substitutionary death for the whole world. There are three things to note here: (i). The substitutionary death of Christ Mark 15:42-45; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Isaiah 53:6,8; Romans 5:8-11; 1 Peter 3:18 “Christ died for our sins” and not for Himself. He was not a sinner; He was pure, perfect, holy and faultless. Though Pilate and Herod did not find fault in Him during His trials, He was crucified. His death is copiously recorded in the Scriptures. His blood justifies us from the punishment that we should have borne because of our sins. Through His substitutionary death, everyone has the privilege of being reconciled to God. (ii). The sanctifying death of Christ Hebrews 2:9-11; 10:14-16; 13:12-14; Ephesians 5:25-27; 1 Thessalonians 5:22-24 Christ became man in order to suffer and die to set us free from both outward and inward sins. Angels cannot die; so, He did not take their nature but He took ours “that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man." Christ's death is not partial; it is not only for the Jews but also for the Gentiles. By the blood He shed at death, He sanctifies, cleanses, purges and makes the inner man free, implants His nature in us and puts His laws in our hearts. Sanctification gives us abundant life; it makes the believer a glorious Christian and the church a glorious assembly. It gives us the grace and willingness to shun and abstain from all appearances of evil. (iii). The smashing death of Christ Hebrews 2:14,15; Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 25:8; 2 Corinthians 1:10; Colossians 2:14,15; 1 John 3:8; Revelation 1:18 “The Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil." Though Jesus has smashed the power of Satan through His death, fear still makes some people to sell their souls, spirit, personality, family and destiny to the devil. Christ always destroys all the power of darkness in the lives of those who come to Him and also takes away everything that hinders their pilgrimage to heaven. 2. THE VIRTUOUS DEEDS OF THE COUNSELLOR, JOSEPH Mark 15:43-47 “Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor," was a secret disciple of Christ who loved and appreciated Him. He fulfilled Scripture prophecy by the great honour he accorded the crucified body of Christ. He did not allow his position to blur his view of the kingdom of God. We consider three things: (i). His burial after death Mark 15:45-47; Isaiah 53:8,9; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Acts 13:29,35-39 Christ “made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death." Joseph of Arimathaea was rich and he asked for the body of Jesus which he buried in the tomb he had cut out from the rock for himself. “But… God raised [Him] again." Everyone who accepts His death for humanity and surrenders to Him will be saved and have the witness of the Spirit in his heart that he has become a child of God. (ii). Our baptism into His death Romans 6:3-5; Colossians 2:10-12; Mark 16:16; 1 Corinthians 12:12,13 Believers identify with Christ's death in baptism. Water baptism is not done by sprinkling water or making a sign of the cross on the head. It is not for infants who do not know about conversion but for those who have heard, known and believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. Water baptism must be by immersion in water. (iii). The believer's blessedness after death Luke 23:42,43; 16:22-26; Acts 7:55-59; 2 Corinthians 5:6-8; Philippians 1:21-23 “And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom." When a believer dies, he goes immediately to be with the Lord in heaven – a place of rest, peace and joy. He does not hibernate somewhere or roam about. The body of the thief on the cross did not go to paradise; it was taken down and buried. But his spirit and soul went to be with Christ in paradise. He was the first person to get to heaven after Christ's death. 3. THE VALIANT DISCIPLESHIP OF THE CHRISTIAN, JUSTIFIED John 19:38-40 The good deeds of Joseph of Arimathaea and Nicodemus were commendable but their unwillingness to openly confess Christ is undesirable. However, we can learn the following from their story: (i). The cowardice of secret discipleship John 19:38; 12:42; Proverbs 29:25; Mark 8:38; Luke 12:4-9 People who hide their love for God for fear of losing their family, position and profession are cowards. “Because of the Pharisees [Joseph of Arimathaea and Nicodemus] did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue." The Lord wants us to confess Him openly and not be ashamed of Him in order to keep our position, honour or title. “Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of Me and of My words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when He cometh in the glory of His Father with the holy angels." (ii). The company of a sneaking disciple John 19:39; 3:1-12; 7:48-53; 2 Corinthians 6:17,18; Revelation 18:4 As believers, we must profess and confess Christ, and identify with Him in the public. We must “come out" of any group of people who commit sin so that we will “receive not of [their] plagues." (iii). Our continuation with steadfast devotion John 19:40; Luke 22:28,29; Acts 1:9-14; 2:40-42; 14:22; Colossians 1:22,23; Revelation 2:26-29 After Apostle Peter's preaching, the three thousands “that gladly received his word... continued stedfastly…" The truth about the imminence of Christ's return should make us to identify and continue with Him to the end. The Lord will grant steadfast, devoted, abiding, consecrated and faithful disciples great blessings and rewards in life and in eternity. GHS: 81 |
