Living, Dying, Buried, Rising, Freedom
Some time ago Donnie McClurkin came out with the
song titled Living He Loved Me. It is a
song about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I really love this song because it
brings the gospel of the Kingdom into one of its simplest message. The lyrics
of this song are indeed the Good News of our salvation. We have such a great
salvation in Christ Jesus and there is no other name under the sun that we can
be saved.
In Genesis, after the fall of humanity, God Himself
said that He would put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed
and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, thou shalt bruise his heel (3:15). God,
our Father and Creator, had set His plan of Salvation in motion to redeem
humanity out of the hands of Satan and from His wrath. I thank God for His plan of Salvation!
Although we weren’t in the garden, we still have inherited the sinful nature.
Adam and Eve is our prototype. No other
humans were made after God made them. Without redemption, we are still fallen and
separated from God. That is our inheritance through Adam.
Because of the sins of the world he was born of a
virgin and lived among us. Then one day Jesus was led up Calvary’s mountain.
Jesus was nailed to a tree so He could die. Jesus suffered. Jesus was despised
and rejected bearing our sins. He was treated as a criminal for a crime He was
not guilty off. He is the Righteous One!
But because of the God News we get to be born again
because of what Jesus did. We have a new inheritance. Living he loved us. Dying
He saved us. Buried He carried our sins far away. Rising He justified us freed
us forever. We are free from the hand of Satan.Now that is good news indeed but that is just the cake. One day He
is coming back. Now that is the icing on the cake. It will be glorious!
Grace and Peace,
