The efficacious Atonement of Jesus Christ on my behalf

When Jesus made Atonement in His Blood on the Cross, 2000 years ago, once for all times; He Bore Such Anguish not known to man; except experientally known to the Son of Man! Psalm 22:14: "I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast;" 1 Peter 2:24: "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed." When Jesus made Atonement on the Cross, when He Cried, "My God, My God...to..." it is Finished!" We just don't know the Spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, anguish of soul He suffered; nonetheless, there was such eternal, suffocating, spiritual, physical, emotional, mental anguish of soul He suffered! Such as, experiencing God's Wrath, not known to Man; except for those who are suffering God's wrath now, in Hell for rejecting Jesus Christ! When our sins were carried to Christ on the Cross and imputed to Him by God the Father; Jesus Experienced such a great sense of God's wrath, that He never experienced or ever known before, throughout the 33 years of His life on earth; it was shockingly imputed to Him, more than jumping in a pool of ice water without having the knumbing effect. A shock factor to His mental, spiritual, emotional, physical and soul anguish of God's wrath laid upon Him, that no tongue could tell and no pen can write about such anguish! For He never experienced our sin cursed nature, until it was laid upon Him in imputation, then the Divine Holiness, Justice, righteous nature of God's wrath was executed on Him, a double imputation that He never experienced in His life until it was laid upon Him on the cross! The efficacy of His Atonement cost Him such anguish and pouring out of His life blood; for while He shockingly sufferred the pain and anguish of our sins and condemnation, with every blow and strike of God's wrath causing His body to shockingly pulsate a response of great suffocating pain, anguish and suffering of soul, spirit, mental and emotional anguish unknown to man; Yet, at the same time power proceeded from Him in His Blood flow for our healing; we just don't really know the extent of the cost! Until we see the full benefit in efficacy of His Blood in the Redemption of our body, soul and spirit glorified in Jesus' Heavenly glory! Indeed the true nature of imputation when He bore our sins in His Body on the Cross! Isaiah 53:4-6: "4Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. 5But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. 6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all." 1 Peter 2:24: "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed." Hence, the imputation of our sin's of bearing our sin-cursed nature in His Body, suffering the curse and wrath we deserved; removed, expitiated, exponged, circumsized and cut away our sin cursed nature, once and for all; He dealt our sin cursed nature in His Body and offering of His Body and Blood a Living Sacrifice, a final blow! When He underwent, and suffered such spiritual, mental and physical, emotional anguish of soul in His pain and suffering, once for all! Never to deal with it ever again, like a surgical procedure He cut away the cancer of our sin nature. Indeed, true nature of expitiation and exponging our sin from God's eyes. Psalm 103:12: "as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us." Heb 9:26: “But now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself” He Bore in His Body, when He offered it a Living Sacrifice, the Wrath of God and not only did He shiockingly expeience and suffer the suffocating pain of God's Holy Wrath, but such endurance of each shocking stroke of the wrath of God kept on inflicting Him and striking Him over and over again on the Cross, as He absorbed it, His total body pulsated with each striking blow of God's wrath, until it was fully absorbed and extinguished in full appeasement making propitiation of regaining the Favor of God His Father; Such a regainment of Divine favor was not for Himself, but for all those God the Father gave to the Son to make Atonement; for the favor of God was upon His only begotten Son, even when He was making Atonement and suffering God's wrath on our behalf! for He who knew no sin became sin for us that we will become the righteous nature and favor of God's satisfied Eyes upon us 2 Corinthians 5:21; with the same Favor He had for the Son when Jesus walked this earth. Appeasing and satisfying and making full vindication of God's wrath, till there was no more wrath to bear by God's Hand; 'till there was no more stroke of eternal wrath to be had, by God the Father; for there was full propitiation on our behalf, indeed, on the Cross in His Body and Blood a Living Sacrifice! Romans 3:23-25: 23 [†] for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 [†] and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus , 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, For the Consequence of such an Atonement brought Us Shalom, peace and Reconciliation back to God, in the Blood Of The Cross of Christ. For the sin cursed nature not only separated us from God, but we had great hostility against God, that it truly innately inherited God's just and righteous wrath; When the wrath was appeased through propitiation in the offering of the Body and Blood of Christ; God had only but to bring us back and have peace with Him through the Blood of Jesus Body on His Cross! For in His Atonement we received not only reconciliation but Adoption as sons and daughters in Christ Blood. Romans 5:10: For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled , shall we be saved by his life. Colossians 1:20-22: "and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. 21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, a doing evil deeds, 22he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him. For the Efficacy of such an Atonement brought us full Redemption in Body, Soul and spirit. For the ransom price of our our bondage to the sin cursed nature set us free in Christ's Blood, for our total being is Redeemed in Body Soul and Spirit In The Blood Of Jesus! Jesus purchased my Redemption from my bondage to my sin cursed nature and bondage to the Jaws of death, that held me fast and I could not set myself free from; Jesus purchased my freedom in His Blood and Redeemed me back from the slavery of my Sin cursed nsture, the clutches of Death and Hell. And I am set free, not limited to the Creator creature Distinction, but more than that, Adopted as His child for my Father and Son relationship all by the Redemption of the Blood of Jesus! A true Redemption, indeed, for all Eternity! I Peter 1:14-20: As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 17And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one’s deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, 18knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. 20He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you." Hebrews 8:15: “a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions In Jesus Christ finished work on the Cross of Calvary, in making Atonement of offering His Body and Blood a Living Sacrifice with such agony, anguish, pain and suffering in body, soul and spirit, of Divine anguish, pain and suffering, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Such a full Atonement was not a walk in the park, for it was of an eternal cost in His Blood that no one has ever experienced or ever will! O, the anguish, the pain, the suffering, the shocking experience for Jesus to receive our sin and the wrath of God on our behalf, was experientially realized in the earthly reality in History 2000 years ago on the Cross, for my Eternal life and Heavenly reality on earth as it is in heaven, in my life, in this temporal realm! Such an efficacious Atonement in His Blood was inclusive of the imputation of my sins in His Body; Such an Efficacious Atonement was inclusive of the expitation, exponging, circumsizing and removal of my sins, my sin-cursed nature and eternal condemnation; Such an Efficacious Atonement was inclusive of the Divine infliction of God's wrath in Propitiation and appeasement of it, where there is no more Condemnation for me, for being in Christ Jesus through Faith. Such an Efficacious Atonement was inclusive of My Reconciliation back to God, a Reconciliation of shalom and Peace with God. Such An efficacious Atonement was inclusive of my Redemption in His Blood and set me free from the tyranny of my sin-cursed nature and free me from the Jaws of sin, death and Hell! Such an efficacious Atonement brought me my Adoption as God my heavenly Father's son, through the Blood of His only Begotten Son, no longer a slave or limited to Creator, creature distinction of relating; but a Father and son relationship through the Blood of Jesus! Such an efficacious Atonement was inclusive of my pardon and forgiveness and cleansing in the Blood of Jesus. Such an Efficacious Atonement was inclusive of New Life in Christ, A life of Eternal life in Knowing God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit! Indeed, it is Finished by Divine Sovereign omnipotence and Foreloveimg Grace of The Father and Son! Henceforth, He is Risen, by Divine Sovereign omnipotence! I rest my Faith in the Atonement of The sinless Blood of the Lamb and the Lion of Judah, who conquered sin, death and the Devil on my Behalf! .

The spiritually dead do not believe in Jesus Christ! 2 Corinthians 4: 3-4

2 Corinthians 4: 3-4
3And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

The unbelievers do not believe in Jesus Christ because they do not see their need for Jesus Christ; they do not see their need for Jesus Christ because they do not see their sinfulness, wrechted and depraved nature before God; they do not see their sin and need for being saved, because they do not know what sin is and the consequence thereof; they do not know what sin is, because they do not see God's Holy Nature and Justice and wrath to punish them for breaking God's Law; hence, being blinded to God's wrath, they do not see God's great Love for which He Loved us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ Died for the ungodly, Romans 5:6. The unbeleivers do not believe in Jesus Christ because they do not believe they need to be saved from the wrath of God; the unbelievers do not love God, because they hate God; the unbelievers hate God because they are dead to God and have a great need to be Born-Again by the Holy Spirit, and be made alive by the Holy Spirit, in order to see their great need for Salvation from the great miry depths of their sinful condition and their need for Jesus to Save them from the wrath of God abiding upon them now and finally in the Lake of Fire for all eternity! They will believe then, but it will be too late when the eternal wrath of God is unveiled in the Lake of fire and great torment; they will believe then, when the afflictions of their eternal torment is constsntly abiding on them and the smoke of their torment is forever rising, for the consequence of their sinful nature ruling their lives this side of eternity!
Don't you know? The unbeliever needs to be Saved from the Wrath of God constantly abiding!

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!"

Infinite wonder Infinite design the stars made for me; The Cross, My Salvation Divine! A Poem By Joseph Valentini:

A poem of reflection and Wonderment of my Creator The Alpha and Omega; I am fearfully and wonderfully made, by His infinite design to glory in His Greatness!

Infinite wonder infinite design the stars made for me; The Cross, My Salvation Divine!
A Poem By Joseph Valentini:

The Alpha and Omega, made me fearfully and Wonderfully, by His infinite design!

Out of the infinite number of the stars, I made them one by one with infinite design; for you to ponder and wonder, how unique how glorious, one by one, I made them; yet, countless, the untold  numbers for your finite mind; nonetheless, for my glory, for you to repine; how infinite Sublime in beauty was my design;  each one unique, each one glorious, each one the sum total measureless, by my Fiat, spoken, Created by my Infinite design!

By my Fiat, Created, I made you; I said,  "Let Us" to my Father and to The Holy Spirit, make all, out of the untold numbers, like sands of the seashore, yet from the dust of the ground was One, your first father created: Adam, and I breathed in his nostrils, Life! From my Created out of nothing and infinite design;

Before the Created, I planned all things, Eternally purposed, Predestined for my glory of infinite design!

Henceforth, in the process, I made Adam sleep, and out of the twelve, I took one from Adam and made him complete; Be fruitful and multiply, was my Decree, and out of the One complete, was countless numbers, measureless, like the sand of  the seashore too many for the finite mind to count!

Notwithstanding, the measureless numbers, it still remains, it came down to you! Uniquely and fearfully, wonderfully made!

But from your finite, incomprehension,  did your rebellion replace; my infinite glory, adoration and worship for sin was found in you, written all over your face!

Oh, how foolish to think, a leaf of a fig could cover your nakedness, sin's guilt and shame; how foolish to think, hiding behind the bush, would you hide your presence from me!

Nonetheless, sin did cause your curse, you fallen nature, sin, shame, guilt, death and disgrace!

Eternal separation, I cast you out of my presence, hidden from your sight; no longer in communion with me, All Three!

You could not redeem yourself, in every attempt, always falling short, never good enough for perfections end;

Don't you comprehend! Imperfect, fallen, sin cursed nature, ends up already Condemned, with my wrath eternally abiding, with you unable to appease and satisfy!

What a cruel dilemma, what a hopeless fight!  With no one to answer, nor  can deliver with all their might!

Yet, mercy was still abiding hid from your Sight! Yet, seen in the garment of Blood, I provide for you to cover your nakedness, sin, guilt and shame!

Out of the one sin, came many, finite minds could not decipher; finite minds could not count, too infinite in measure for finite minds to comprehend to know how to abolish, remove and do away with forever,  that you would be approved acceptable behind the leaves and bushes, a futile attempt!

Your sin cursed condition, sins multiplied to infinite measure for your eternal condemnation that you could not get out;

Nonetheless,  My mercy of infinite measure, broke through your darkness and sin cursed condition, no longer hid from sight, but displayed on my predetermined tree cut down for me, made into a cross of wood, for me! With every pounding of the hammer to the head of the nine inch nails in my foot and hands; while a crown of thorns still on my head!

Up, up and up hoisted on high, that mount of Golgatha, called Calvary, such a mount, shaped like a skull, the emblem of death, for me to finally dealt out: sin, death and the Devil's final Blow!

In such a hoisting, to be lifted on High, for all men to look to me for their Salvations end; from God's  wrath abiding to appeasement and reception of Divine Love,   AGAPE! AGAPE! The source of my unconditoned Grace!

My infinite Blood flowed freely with infinite measure to clothed your infinite nakedness, sin's darkness and death, that you be cleansed by my infinite Blood to clothe  you with a robe of purity, white lightening, pure, bright and full of my healing Presence, my Countenance to Shine on you with Divine favor, forever Sublime!

That in my Resurrection new life to find; adopted Child to Cry out, " Abba, Father," you made me thine! All for your glory forever thine, God My Father, forever glorified, to sing your praises forever to repine, of your sublime Mercy, Grace and Love Divine!

Your  Foreloving Love for me, before your fiat Created,   by infinite Design;
Now to glory, in the Shalom of Harmony and Peace with God My Father, Son and Holy Spirit, forever with your Divine Majesty, Eternal Trinity, all three in One;

Wonderful Relationship, wonderful communion with God who made me, by infinite design, to declare Your glory forever with you, indeed, fearfully and wonderfully transformed into the Image of your Only Begotten Son! By infinite Design!

What finite mind could ponder? What tongue declare? Your infinite glory to make me immortal to never Die, all by infinite wonder and glory, by Divine infinite Design!

Jesus is not flattered with empty confessions to His Name

Jesus is not flattered with empty confessions to His Name That The Father Bestowed upon Him!
The Name of Jesus Christ comes with Power to destroy the works of Satan for in the name of Jesus is the mighty person of Jesus Christ who conquered the penalty of sin, Death and the Devil!
Luke 4:34-35:
"Ha! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.” 35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!”
The name of Christ and His Titles will not be content with empty confessions of flattery so as to leave the workers of iniquity and of Satan alone to continue in the status quo of their iniquity, darkness and wickedness of the sin cursed nature; for the very purpose Christ came was to destroy the works of the Devil.
The Titles of Christ are not mere empty words without power conferred upon Him; for in, and behind, the Titles of Christ is the mighty Person of Jesus who came with destructive power to deliver His people from Satan's grip and powerful hold and from this dark corrupt world of Satan's reign, from sin, corruption, decay and death!
For Christ will not be flattered by acknowledgment of empty confessions to His glorious Titles from Satan and wicked men (The Titles conferred upon Him by God The Father), He did not become the incarnate Son of God to seek glory to have men and Satan confess His Divine Titles and name that the Father bestowd upon Him, so as to cunningly decieve Christ into a stay of execution of His power to withold destroying the works of the Devil; for Christ came for this very purpose but to Destroy the works of the devil and deliver His people from their sin and bondage, that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow and tongue confess Jesus is Lord to the glory of God the Father, for when you acknowledge the name of Jesus you can be sure that the power of Christ will be unleashed for your deliverance!
Do not think that confessing the title of Christ alone would prevent Christ to manifest His power, for in Jesus Christ name, there is great power of His mighty Person unleashed that will reveal His glory to destroy the works of the Devil and set His people free from the tyranny of Satan and that His glory will never be shrouded in the darkness and evil of Satan and wicked men.
Christ will not be flattered by empty acknowledgments of his title and disregard to his power to save and deliver Men from their sin and bondage; He will not let the wickedness of sin cursed men and the devil shroud His glory, but He will exercise His power over all wickedness of the devil, demons and darkness of men and he will deliver all who are oppressed and call upon his Name for salvation.
He will also manifest his power to destroy the works of Satan and the hands of wicked men, for Christ's power will not be shrouded in the darkness of Satan or this wicked world;
Christ power is made manifest in this dark world, sin cursed nature of man and over the power of Satan, and is made manifest to destroy the works of Satan and this dark corrupt Wicked World; He will not let sin and the darkness of this age nor the darkness of Satan's confession and flattery Shroud his glory. Jesus will not be content and He will not be flattered with people who acknowledge Him only in word and not in true faith from the Heart believing, to let them alone to their sin cursed nature and prevent Him from manifesting His power to deliver them from Satan's hold of bondage and Tyranny, to set them free to change them and transform them by His Grace, He will not let His children born dead in sin and a child of wrath remain in that condition and state of affairs without manifesting His power to quicken them and make them alive in the power of His Blood, according to His Sovereign will to manifest His power to set free whomsoever He wills according to the good pleasure of His will given to Him by the will of the Father. John Calvin said in his commentary, in Luke 4:34-35:
"This demoniac was probably one of that multitude, which was mentioned, a little before, by Matthew 4:24. Yet the narrative of Mark and Luke is not superfluous: for they relate some circumstances, which not only present the miracle in a more striking light, but also contain useful instruction. The devil dexterously acknowledges, that Christ is the Holy One of God, in order to insinuate into the minds of men a suspicion, that there was some secret understanding between him and Christ. By such a trick he has since endeavored to make the Gospel suspected, and, in the present day, he is continually making similar attempts. That is the reason why Christ rebukes him. It is, no doubt, possible, that this confession was violently extorted from him: but there is no inconsistency between the two suppositions, that he is forced to yield to the power of Christ, and therefore cries out that he is the Holy One of God, -- and yet that he cunningly attempts to shroud in his own darkness the glory of Christ. At the same time, we must observe that, while he flatters Christ in this manner, he indirectly withdraws himself from his power, and in this way contradicts himself. For why was Christ sanctified by the Father, but that he might deliver men from the tyranny of the devil, and overturn his kingdom? But as Satan cannot endure that power, which he feels to be destructive to himself, he would desire that Christ should satisfy himself with an empty title, without exercising it on the present occasion.

The Wonderment of The Cross is the Hidden presence of God the Father in the midst of the pain and suffering of His only Begotten Son!

The Wonderment of The Cross is the Hidden presence of God the Father in the midst of the pain and suffering of His only Begotten Son!

Hebrews 12:2:

2fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

The real wonderment for the suffering and the pain of Jesus on the Cross in His Sufferings, was Jesus discovering God the Father's Hidden presence in the midst of His sufferings! I have to repeat this in great wonderment, notwithstanding, it is worth repeating, the real wonderment concerning the Pain of the Cross of Jesus Christ that allowed Jesus to endure the suffering with Great Joy is found in Jesus discovering God the Father's Hidden presence in the midst of His sufferings!

Christ Jesus was not focused on the injurious, injustice of the infliction of the pain and suffering by the hands of wicked puny man; for Jesus prayed to the Father for their forgivenss, when He prayed hanging on the cross, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do," Luke 23:34.

But in Jesus sufferings, He focused on the Hidden presence of God the Father, in His sufferings, Just as He appeared in the midst of the Burning bush before Moses. Jesus in His suffering in His human nature and Divine nature reached beyond His suffering, by Faith and went beyond His suffering in juxtaposition to find the Hidden presence of His Father in the midst of His sufferings and such discovery for Jesus in the midst of His sufferings and being Eternally crushed by The Father's Hand, brought Jesus great Joy to discover the Hidden presence of The Father being in the midst of His only Begotten Son's suffering, for Jesus was aware of His Father's presence, or He would not otherwise have prayed for the forgiveness of the hands of the wicked. And just that awareness of God the Father's Hidden presence brought Jesus great joy in the midst of His suffering, that caused Him to despise the shame of the cross and with great Joy endured the suffering of the cross and the Eternal wrath of God by the Hidden presence and Grace of God The Father! For the Joy set before Him allowed Jesus to endure the pain of the Cross despising puny man's shame only for Jesus to endure the pain of Separation from God the Father Until His full surrender in His victorious cry, "it is finished!"

O how we need to endure the pain and suffering of dying to this world that we may discover God's Hidden presence in the midst of our sufferings to find the greater Grace sufficient to help in our sufferings and may have the joy set before us with the discovery of God's Hidden presence in a right relationship to God in the blood of Christ!

Hebrews 12:1-4

2fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.4In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
