WHAT DID HE DO?

By Rick Mathes

Ephesians 2:18 (NASB77) ¹⁸  for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

What has Jesus done for you?

First of all, He died for our sins. This was necessary for Him to appease the Father’s justice for our sins or we wouldn’t have a chance to go to heaven. This judgment must met out the punishment and His death sufficed for our redemption.

The cross, death stake, became the sine of the cross they are most certainly Roman Catholic Evangelicals know that the cross is empty and are usually known by their sign of the fish.

He died that we might and be one with Him as the Body of Christ should be. He was the one that broke down the walls of separation which would include race, culture, sex, politics, etc. We are one in Him as He became everything to us.

The law went out the window the moment He said, “It is finished!” We are fulfilling the law in the new covenant by falling a His feet and begging, “Have mercy upon me a sinner!” The war of sin vs. virtue is battling within us and continues to this moment without any let up. We can never drop the sword; the Word of God.

It’s His Word and walk that has caused us to make peace. There is no war in our Lord’s Temple. Light does not combat light and darkness is not welcome and cannot get in. Shalom Salaam and Peace be with you  are the battle cries of those who want peace. Why don’t we listen?

When we are reconciled to Jesus we believers are members of an exclusive club hat no one ever may join. Sin dies a slow death as more and more of us ae exchanged for more and more of Him.

He preached peace and 2,000 years later there is no peace except that which lives in believers We have a peace in the midst of chaos that exceeds logic and understanding. We just know that we have access to God through Jesus who loved us. Because of this we just know it’s all going to turn out just fine. His name is Jesus and He did a lot!
