last week we saw what Jesus said to the
Pharisee about the woman who wept at his
feet who was a prostitute she wept much
she loved Jesus much because she was
forgiven much then Jesus says those who
love him little they are forgiven little
this woman loved me much because she’s
forgiven much if we had preached the
truth people will end up loving Jesus
much this is Jesus own prognosis you see
we have not preached the truth as a
result people are sinning people I have
no character not living a life of
holiness because you know why holiness
is a fruit grace is the root the more
you know you’re forgiven the more you
breathe easy the more you rest the more
God works in you I mean if you get up
and say Lord Jesus you know my weakness
you know my pro I just rest in you Lord
you leave my life for me I just fall
back into his arms and you know
something even when you attempt that you
don’t try to overcome it let Jesus
handle it
like a small girl was us after she was
saved just a little girl after she was
safe she was asked this question what do
you do when the devil comes knocking on
your door and tempting you I used to
open the door and I got frightened she
said man I said just say Jesus please
answer the door
and when he does that the devil is gone
he’s not even there she said she
understood in a little microcosm she
understands what it means to live the
Christian life tomorrow is not you
facing your boss it’s not you’re facing
a mother-in-law sorry I mean I mean it’s
not you facing your Challenger is not
that you’ve tasting the the stress of
tomorrow is Jesus facing it but you are
watching him it’s like you’re resting in
him you’re watching him is it what a lot
when something could happen you know is
him you know you’re not that smart
neither am i that smart so you’re the
more you rest the more he flows the more
you work the more your stress when you
work God rests when you’re rest God
works start here start here start here
and stuck in your walk every every area
bring rest into it okay now go back to
this again so all your sins are forgiven
all right now I want you to look at your
neighbor on the left and on the right go
ahead we are bringing to a close all
right now know this
okay don’t keep on looking looking
looking no time just one look one look
okay some of you like you know like rent
father clock moving you know so look up
here the person you just saw just now
all right bro all the 10 commandments
there’s no such thing as being forgiving
little you all know all of us broke the
Ten Commandments we are all forgiven
much because for Jesus you know with the
flesh reasons well if I didn’t sleep
with a woman only thing in my mind is
not sin Jesus says if you undress her
mentally you have committed adultery
that means you know if you hate someone
or you wish them did you have committed
murder all of us brought the Ten
Commandments
we need to know that we have talked even
much we ought to be loving him much
something but you know I wasn’t so bad
pastor Prince when Jesus saved me I was
really quite good
only some bad therefore if you think
you’re 30% been in 70 percent good you
can only appreciate Jesus 30 percent and
that’s why you love him only 30 percent
but the truth of the matter is all of us
a hundred percent sinners it was data no
they are there are moral dead people and
there are immoral dead people Bob I did
okay so let’s go to this and it will
bring it close and was raised because
about justification now when when when
Jesus was on the cross god no just not
our sin sin I escaped God saw our sins
in detail you know people say what about
the prints are your grace people you
know your you teach like like God
doesn’t see our sin to know like God as
a whole oh they gotta get my friend I
know God is holy s–t rice holy holy
holy holy
you know God don’t think for one moment
our sins escape we are not forgiven
because our sins escaped we are forgiven
because our sins by judge God saw our
sins fully and meted out judgment in
proportion to his holiness and
righteousness of your entire life my
sins and God put on Jesus and God
punished every one of them until the
Bible says for three hours he hung down
there and a mimic day all right
became midnight just like when he was
born midnight became midday when the
Angels filled the sky and said glory to
God in the highest peace on earth
goodwill to man when he died meat day
became midnight for three hours even God
showed that the entire thing because
something personal happened between God
and his son who became our substitute
God didn’t want anyone to see alright
was horrible Jesus became grotesque
terrible become deformed or diseases and
all that and God punished his
got punished every stroke of the broken
law that we have broken fell upon Jesus
Everage curse every disease every
rejection every depression fell on Jesus
stroke after stroke after stroke at the
stroke for three hours until finally
Jesus cry finish the last rope finished
[Applause]
the heavens clear the birds start
singing again he caught this when
darkness covered three hours earlier
Jesus for the first time in Jesus life
he says my God my god
now he’s his father into your hands it’s
back to father again
the price is paid now watch this the
tribunal of heaven gathered God
according to this verse he was raised on
account dear of our justification
because we are declared righteous
justification means we are declared
righteous because you and I are declared
righteous God raised Jesus from the dead
now many of the God raised Jesus because
he is God’s Son no he is God’s Son
always always has been and still is but
God didn’t racing because of that God
raised him because on account of God
declaring all of us righteous the idea
here listen carefully this is amazing
the idea here is that if we were not
declared righteous if one sin was left
on judge and you and I are not declared
righteous Jesus would not have been
raised from the dead
