Jesus was A Living Sacrifice on the cross, not a dead sacrifice, A living Sacrifice, where the fountain of His Blood flowed!

Jesus was A Living Sacrifice on the cross, not a dead sacrifice, A living Sacrifice, where the fountain of His Blood flowed!

John 19:30:
When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Jesus said, "It is finished," on the cross! Not Descended into hell and declared it is finished!

John records in this account, the exact words that Jesus spoke on the cross before He breathed His last breath and gave up His spirirt. John did not focus on the manner in which Jesus spoke; John was focusing not on the volume of Jesus in His last words, not on the scream, shout, or in writhing pain when Jesus said, " it is finished." But John emphasized, Jesus in fulfillment, in great relief said, " it is finished,"and bowed his head and breathed His last.

Matthew, however, records the tone and manner in which Jesus spoke His words, but
did not record what the words were. But Matthew seems to emphasize the volume and the scream of His last words when Matthew recods, "And Jesus cried out, again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit." Matthew 27:50.

When Jesus said, "it is finished!"
He reaffirmed the Love God the Father had for Him on the Cross, after Jesus made propitiation in His Blood to God the Father and appeased the wrath of God for the sins of God's people!

Jesus was our living Sacrifice on the Cross!
Jesus suffered the wrath of God on the Cross in His Shed Blood, He was our Living Sacrifice, He did not descend to Hell to suffer, He suffered on the Cross the wrath of God in His Shed Blood, while physically Alive! And when He declared, "It is finished!" He completed and made propritiation appeased the wrath of God in His Blood, sprinkling His Blood on the Altar and profferring in Liabation of His Blood before God the Father in the Holy of Holies not made with Human hands! He vindicated the justice and Holiness of God the Father for the sins of God's people, that they would not suffer wrath!
He declared it is finished on the Cross! And it was truly finished and He will make no more sacrifice in His Blood, for it was finished on the Cross in His living Sacrifice of His Shed Blood! And Said, "It is finished!" And Entered into His Rest, in bringing many sons and daughters to glory!

Hebrews 9: 11-14:

"11But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption."
13For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, 14how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God..."

Hebrews 9: 15:
"15 Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant..."

Hebrews 9: 22-28:
"...22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

23Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. 25Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, 26for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, 28so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him."

A little while longer and I will see Him!

A little while longer and I will see Him!

John 16:16
"A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me.”

Jesus spoke to His Apostles before His crucifixion, saying "A little while longer and you will see me no longer..."

See me no longer...He had to go to the place unseen, He had to take care of that which we could never do apart from Him!

He had to tread the wine press alone!

He had to go to the place unseen, to the outside of the gates of the earthly temple, to the place of the Heavenly Temple and offer His own blood in the Real Holy of Holies that the earthly one was a mere shadow to the Heavenly one;

The place of the true substance of the Holy of Holies where the High Priest after the order of Melchizedek, offered His own blood in the Holy of Holy Place; where God the Father's glory presides, who dwells in an unapproachable radiance of light;

He had to face God the Father and look into God the Father's eye to behold Him, who no man can see and live;

He had to see His Father, and watch God the Father turn His face from Him!


That is when He cried, with such a loud cry, that cut through the atmosphere and went straight upwards to Heaven, where God the Father heard His cry, but Had to turn His face as He crushed His only begotten Son, and Jesus did cry, ELI; ELI; LAMA SABACHTHANI, My God! My God! Why has thou forsaken me?


It was there, the place where we can never enter, the place where we see Him no longer, the place where our eyes cannot see, ears cannot not hear, hands cannot touch, and feet cannot walk in, and expect to exit it and live through it, we could never enter that place and ever come back and expect to come back and live, we would but die in that place of God's great Holy, pure nature of unapproachable light, brighter than the sun!


Jesus only entered the place where we see Him no longer, Jesus, with His own blood, did He offer and sprinkle the altar of Sacrifice, before God the Father!


And did God the Father lay on the head of His only begotten Son with a great smiting, the penalty of our own sinfulness with such great wrath!


Yet, the lamb of God endured it with great Love to see His Father's Love turn back to His Son and with great appeasement was God the Father's justice and Holiness ever so satisfied and propitiated!


And did God the Father, who could not bear to see Him no longer, turn back to Jesus and again a little while longer beheld His only begotten Son, as God the Father, called Jesus out of the tomb in His Resurrection, saying, "Jesus, My only Begotten Son, Come Forth!"


Forever to give Him the glory He shared with His Son before the world began, and ever look on His Son and see Him again with Great Favor!


What can be said of this verse, except that a little while longer you will see Him no longer--such words of redemption by Jesus!


That Jesus would really say, a little while longer and you will see your sin no longer for my blood will be shed and spilled to wash away your sins!

"And again, a little while longer and you will see me"


Jesus really said, "And Again!" A little while longer and you will see me for His words were saying, I am giving you the ability to see me face to face and you will live and not die as you behold the face of God because, Again, a little while longer you will see me!


Because He lives again, and is Resurrected from the dead, exiting the tomb, out of the deep darkness of death!


Because He lives, I live to behold Him and see God the Father and Live and not die!
For I am clothed in the Resurrected life and nature of Jesus' Holiness and righteousness!


For if I were to say a little while longer you will see me no more...it would end there!


And I would be under an eternal sentence of great judgment and torment of God's wrath constantly abiding on me!


Apart from Him I will never come back from that place of dread, for apart from Him who said, a little while longer and you will see me!


I have great Joy that Jesus did not leave it at a little while longer and you will see me no longer...but spoke words of His great faithfulness, hope and joy when He completed His sentence and said,



"And again, a little while longer and you will see me!"
