The greatest work done in Jerusalem

 

“The greatest  work  done in Jerusalem”

Isaiah 53;5     “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement for our peace was upon Him and by His bruises we are healed.”

v.11 says ” My righteous servant shall justify many, for He shall bear their iniquities”

v.12. “He poured out His soul unto death and He was numbered with the transgressors and He bore the sin of man."

In all the religions of the world -what differs all man-made up gods from the real one God is " The true one God sent a Savior to rescue the mankind and confirmed Christ  coming in hundreds  prophecies throughout the Biblical Scriptures  written in the span period over 1000 years before Christ came.

One of the  greatest things that has ever  been done for all  people happened  in Jerusalem    and  it  is the work  Jesus  did   for you on  the cross 2000 years ago!
The Son of  God came down to pay the  price of our sin and His forgiveness is available for  everybody who believes.

Salvation was always by grace, not by good works.  The given law is  for recognizing  the sin.
Even Abraham and  Noah  were saved by faith, born  before the law was given to Moses.

This is what the Bible is promising;
As we read in Romans 8;1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are  in Christ Jesus.”
Jesus said;”I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes Him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned , but he has crossed over from death to life.” John 5;24   The work  Jesus  did for you is the salvation work that gives you access to God and eternal life!

Prophecy about  Savior's’ birth;

Isaiah 9;6
“ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given and the government will be  on his shoulders.  And he will be called  Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,  Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
Matthew 1 starts with words;  ” The book of genealogy of Jesus Christ , the Son of David, the Son of Abraham.”
The promise that was made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, founders of the Jewish family, a promise later renewed to Kind David, that one of their descendants would reign over the nations forever ( see Gen 28;14, 2 Sam7;16) Yeshua fit the prophet’s description in every detail and was hailed  by thousands  of Jews a Messiah. ( John 19;38-39, Acts 6;7)
In Matthew 1;20-23  we read  what an angel said Mary ” that she will bring forth a Son and that His name will be Jesus and that He will save His people from sins” v.22 ” So all this was done  that it might be fulfilled  which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet , saying; ” Behold the virgin shall be with child, and bear a  Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which is translated  ‘God with us”. Prophecy already  fulfilled from Isaiah7;14
Other facts;
Jesus knew  that he would be killed  in Jerusalem and that he would rise again on the third day;
Luke 18;31-33
Jesus took the Twelve  aside  and told them, “ We are  going  up to Jerusalem and everything  that is written  by  the prophets  about  the  Son of  Man  will be  fulfilled.  He will  be  handed  over  to the Gentiles . They will mock him, insult him, spit on him, flog him  and kill him. On he third day he will rise again.”
Jesus’   triumphal  entry to Jerusalem     ( Matthew 21;5  John 12;15 )
“The next day the great crowd that had come for the feast heard  that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out  to meet  him, shouting,  Hosanna! Blessed  is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the King of Israel! Jesus found  a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written  in Zechariah 9;9;
“ Rejoice  greatly, o Daughter of   Zion, Shout  Daughter of Jerusalem!
See your  king  comes  to you  righteous  and having  salvation, gentle  and riding  on a donkey,
On a colt,  the foal  of a donkey.”
The  Old  and the New Testament tells us about why Jesus  came  to die;
Isaiah 53 ;5
“He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed  for our iniquities, the punishment  that brought us peace was upon him and by his wound we are healed.”
See; Hebrew 10; 14 “(…) by one  sacrifice he has made perfect for ever those  who are being made  holy.”
Hebrew 9;26 “(… he has appeared once for all at the end  of the ages  to do away with sin by the sacrifice  of himself.”
Psalm 22; 7    tells us details about what Jesus was facing on the cross and all these things happened exactly how they were described in the Old Testament;
“All who see me mock  me, they hurl  insults, shaking their  heads.  He trusts in the Lord let the Lord  rescue him, let him deliver  him since he delights in him.”
(  fulfilled in the  New Testament in Mathew  27;39,    Mark 15; 29   Luke 23;35)
Psalm 22; 16-18
“(..) they have pierced my hands and my feet. I can count all  my bones.  People stare and gloat over me.
They divide  my garments  among them  and cast lots for my  clothing.”
( fulfilled in the New Testament in  Matthew 27; 35  Mark 15; 24   Luke 23;34  John 19; 24 )

Psalm 69;21

“ They put gall in my food and gave me vinegar for my thirst.”
( fulfilled in  the New testament  in Matthew 27;48    Mark 15; 36     John 19;28-29)
Psalm 34;20,  Numbers 9;12 ,  Exodus 12;46,
“  He protects  all his bones, not one of them will be broken.
(Fulfilled    in  John  19; 33-36 )” But when they came  to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his leg”
Zechariah 11; 12-13  tells us about Jesus  that would be  betrayed  for 30 silver coins
“  If you think   it best, give me my pay, but if not keep it. So they paid me thirty pieces of silver. And the Lord said to me ; throw it to the potter – the handsome price  at which  they priced me.”
( fulfilled in  Matthew 27; 3-9) ” When Judas , who  had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders.”
v.6  ” The chief priests picked  up the coins and said; ” it is against the law  to put  this  into the treasury , since it is bloody money.”
v.9 ” Then what was spoken  by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled; They took the thirty silver coins, the price  set on him by  the people of Israel.”
About Jesus  conquering  death;
Matthew 28;6  The angel said  ” I  know that you are looking for Jesus , who  was crucified . He is not here , he has  risen, just as he said. Come and see the place  where he lay”
We learn that God  gives us salvation while we believe in Jesus;
Romans 10;9  “If you confess   with your mouth ” Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that  God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Galatians 3; 11 ” Clearly no-one  is justified  before God  by the law, because ;” The righteous will live by faith.”

Hebrew  2;14   If you know Jesus   there is no fear of  death  for you;

” Since the children  have flash and blood, he too shared  in their humanity so that  by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death- that is , the devil, and free those  who  all their lives  were held in slavery  by their fear of death.”

The place where you are going to spend your eternity depends on your relationship with Christ. 
He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him.
( John 3;36)
“Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven." Matthew 10;32-33
