Someone recently asked me about why Yeshua had to die?
Did Yeshua not have the power to stay alive and rule and reign then?
Wasn`t it evil of the people who condemned Yeshua to die?
I pointed to this verse in John where Yeshua states that He willingly, on His own accord, laid down His LIFE for the sheep. It goes on to say that it was not only for the Jewish people but for the whole world. Yeshua is the ONE Shepherd, and the ONE flock is EVERYONE who believes in Yeshua. Also, the soldiers had NO power over Yeshua except what He gave to them. In John 18:3-9 says, that the soldiers literally fell backward to the ground when Yeshua said, I AM the one you are looking for. The soldiers had no power to arrest Yeshua except Yeshua gave it to them, to fulfill the scriptures.
John 10:14-16
14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father —and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.
It is through Yeshua laying down His life for the sheep, through His blood shed that we have forgiveness of sins. Our sins are that which is contrary to the LIFE in Him. It is choosing our own way, (man`s way), instead of God`s way. Through this blood Yeshua casts our sins as far as the East is from the West and remembers them - NO MORE! This is the picture we get when Yeshua hung on the tree. His arms stretched from infinity to infinity, as if hugging the universe itself, that was made by Him-including our past, present and future!
The whole reason Yeshua said you must be BORN AGAIN was; just as a baby is born of the water and blood-the same way we are born of WATER and BLOOD spiritually. Yeshua`s body had to be pierced for us to fulfill all righteousness. Fulfilling righteousness were the Words spoken and written in the pages of history and the Word of God had to be completely fulfilled. When Yeshua died, a soldier pierced His side and WATER and BLOOD flowed out. Yeshua literally was in what we medically call today, Congestive Heart Failure, (this is when the water and the blood mix in the thoracic cavity), on our behalf! This is a symbolic picture of a physical birth. Now spiritually we are birthed into Yeshua`s Kingdom, by the literal BLOOD AN WATER THAT FLOWED FROM YESHUA`S HEART FOR US, we are BORN AGAIN in the Spirit.
Today, I thank you Lord for this gift of LOVE given so that I could be freed and delivered from my own way, onto your Path of LIFE and LIFE more abundantly. In the same way a baby is delivered in the world to start a new life in the flesh, Yeshua, you have delivered us into your kingdom to LIFE in the SPIRIT. We have been freed and delivered from a place of confinement and darkness in the womb of our own way, to a place where ONCE we saw with our own eyes, but NOW we see through the eyes of the Holy Spirit.
Thank you Yeshua
