THE ANSWER !

I'LL BEGIN THIS WITH A QUESTION, THAT AS THE TITLE STATES SHALL END WITH THE ANSWER.

FIRST THE QUESTION: WHO ELSE COULD HAVE ?

I KNOW MOST, IF NOT ALL HAVE HEARD, AND MAYBE EVEN STATED OURSELVES THAT CHRIST HAD 2 DIE ON THE CROSS 4 OUR SINS BECAUSE KNOWONE ELSE WAS SINLESS, AND THIS IS TRUE!

WE MENTION HOW HE SUFFERED THE SHAME, AND HUMILIATION OF THE CROSS. HE WAS BEATEN BEYOND RECOGNITION, LAUGHED AT AND SPAT UPON, YET HE STILL WENT 2 THE CROSS 4 US.

HE PRAYED, MAYBE EVEN BEGGED 2 BE RELEASED FROM THIS ASSIGNMENT UNTIL HIS SWEAT OOZED THROUGH HIS PORES AS BLOOD, DUE TO THE EMENSE STRESS HIS BODY WAS EXPERIENCING ANTICIPATING WHAT HE KNEW WAS FAST APPROACHING.

JESUS IS REMEMBERED 4 HIS MIRACLES, AND COMPASSIONATE ACTS TOWARDS THE OVERLOOKED, DOWNTRODDEN, LESS FORTUNATE, HALT, MAIMED AND DREGS OF HUMANITY.

THE BIBLE RECORDS HIS TEACHINGS, AND WORDS OF LIFE AND ADMONISHMENT. THE IMMACULATE FASHION OF HIS CONCEPTION IS OFTEN MADE REFERENCE 2 WHEN DISCUSSING JESUS.

ALL OF THESE EVENTS AND INCIDENCES ARE TRUE AND VITAL 2 OUR GETTING 2 KNOW CHRIST, AND HIS SACRIFICE FOR US.

TODAY MY QUESTION IS NOT AS OBVIOUS AS IT MAY APPEAR, BUT I WILL STILL ASK, WHO ELSE COULD HAVE DONE IT?

EVEN IF WE WERE ABLE 2 SURVIVE THE BEATINGS, AND THE CROSS, COULD ANY OF US HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WASH AWAY SINS?

IF SO, COULD WE HAVE THEN DESCENDED INTO THE GRAVE, ONLY 2 RETURN 3 DAYS LATER WITH THE KEYS 2 DEATH AND THE GRAVE?

BETTER YET COULD WE BRING OUR OWN DEAD BODIES BACK 2 LIFE WITHOUT THE AID OF ANYONE OR ANYTHING ELSE?

WHAT IF WE COULD HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THE CROSS AND THE GRAVE, AND THE RESURRECTION PORTION, COULD U OR I CAUSE OURSELVES 2 ASCEND IN 2 HEAVEN WHERE WE HAVE NEVER BEEN, BUT HE WAS SIMPLY RETURNING HOME.

OF COURSE THE ANSWER 2 ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS ARE A RESOUNDING NO!

WHAT IS GOD'S POINT 2DAY ? WHAT DOES GOD WANT 2 TEACH US 2DAY ?

GOD WANTS US 2 SEE THAT IT WASN'T HIS SINLESSNESS, HIS OMNIPOTENCE, OR MIRACLE WORKING ABILITIES THAT ENABLED HIM 2 GO 2 THE CROSS, NOR WAS IT THE SPIKES THAT KEPT HIM ON THE CROSS.

THIS FEAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY AND THROUGH LOVE. THE TYPE OF LOVE THAT EVEN WITH THE HOLYGHOST DWELLING WITHIN US WE AREN'T ABLE TO ACHIEVE WHICH IS EVIDENT BY OUR ACTIONS, ATTITUDES, AND DISPOSITIONS.

HOW MANY OF US IF WE COULD ERASE SIN, WOULD DO IT VOID OF BIAS, OR RESPECT OF PERSON.

EVEN NOW WE POSSESS THE POWER, AND ABILITY 2 FORGIVE THOSE THAT HAVE ALREADY WRONGED US ON EARTH AND WE DON'T. HOW LIKELY IS IT THAT WE WOULD BE WILLING 2 DEAL WITH, LET ALONE FORGIVE THOSE THAT HAVEN'T WRONGED US YET, BUT WE KNOW THEY WILL ?

JESUS DID THAT AND MORE. HE DIED 4 PEOPLE THAT WRONGED HIM PRIOR 2 THE CROSS, WHILE NAILING HIM TO THE CROSS, AND THOSE THAT WOULD WRONG HIM LONG AFTER HE WAS OFF THE CROSS, SINNERS LIKE U AND ME.

GOD'S QUESTION 2DAY IS WHO ELSE COULD HAVE?

THE LORD HAS IMPRESSED UPON ME THAT HE WOULD HAVE VERY FEW PROBLEMS
LOCATING INDIVIDUALS WILLING TO FACE THE BEATINGS, MOCKING, SCORNING, EVEN THE CROSS AND NAILS, BUT HE IS STILL SEARCHING SOME 2000 YEARS AFTER THE CROSS 4 A CHILD OF GOD THAT WILL GENUINELY FORGIVE EVERYONE THEY KNOW 4 PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE SINS COMMITTED AGAINST THEM PERSONALLY.

SURE I'LL FORGIVE YOU 4 WHAT YOU DO 2 MY BROTHER OR SISTER, BUT YOU NOT ONLY VIOLATED ME ALREADY, YOU'RE SHOWING ME YOU WILL VIOLATE ME AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, PLUS YOU WANT ME 2 DIE FOR YOUR VIOLATIONS !

THATS WHAT CHRIST DID, AND HE'S ASKING THE SAME OF US 2DAY.

HOW DARE WE CASUALLY TOSS AROUND THE TITLE OF CHRISTIAN WHILE HARBORING SO MANY HIDDEN AGENDAS, ILL WILL, PRIDE AND SIN.

WE ARE NOT TRULY CHRIST LIKE UNTIL WE HAVE HIS NATURE AND NOT SIMPLY HIS NAME.

IT REQUIRED MORE THEN CHRIST NAME, AND PEDIGREE 2 ACCOMPLISH THE MISSION, IT CALLED FOR HIS ENTIRE ESSENSE AND BEING, INSIDE AND OUT, MENTALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY.

NO LESS IS REQUIRED OF US !




2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION: THINK ABOUT WHAT CHRIST HAS DONE 4 YOU, AND THEN TURN AND DO IT IN LIKE FASHION FOR ME, AND I MUST DO THE SAME FOR YOU.

REMEMBER KNOWONE TOOK CHRIST'S LIFE, BUT HE LAID IT DOWN WILLINGLY.

John 10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.

TODAY'S QUESTION IS NOT "WHO ELSE WOULD HAVE", BUT IT IS "WHO ELSE COULD HAVE"

THE ANSWER : KNOWONE BUT JESUS



I PRAY GOD'S PEACE N MERCY B UPON U AND URS !
