Jesus was born of God and of woman. Jesus lived. Jesus died. Jesus was resurrected. For a period of time, forty days, He walked, talked and ate with the witnesses of His resurrection then departed. After a time, ten days, God sent the spirit in answer to Jesus’ promise. It fell upon those waiting in Jerusalem and they ministered in tongues so that anyone that entered the room could understand their words. Jesus had promised the spirit as a comforter and a teacher. It comes to one and teaches of the way one should walk in faith. It gives comfort so that the words of discontentment and discouragement one meets in day to day life will not turn one away. It teaches of and reveals the things one will need to change the darkness into light and death into life. It gives one comfort in the understanding that our mistakes are no longer sins that bind us to the darkness but only growing pains on our way to the understanding of our being of God.
Once one has accepted that Jesus would have had to die if only one other human had ever lived, one accepts that Jesus died for their sins. Jesus died for each and every one of us. Jesus died for us regardless of what our mistakes were or are. Jesus did not die so that one of us could say I am a Christian and I have the right to hate anyone that sins while I only make mistakes. Jesus died so that all our sins would be forgiven. If one truly releases sin to Jesus and lets it die with Jesus, then the sin is dead and that one cannot hold sin to another, because sin is dead to that one. One cannot stand outside a church or courthouse and say I hate and call the name of the hate another’s sin and have accepted the death of sin. One cannot hold sin to oneself or another once sin is dead. Sin is dead once one accepts that Jesus died for everyone. Yes in the Bible it is written that some things are an abomination and some things are listed as commandments and other things as offerings and still others as sacrifices, but sin is dead. Of all the things I could do, none are sin but some are not prudent and some do not edify. All stand in the judgement, for all have sinned, but the sentence of death has been paid. Sin has died and was not resurrected.
If it is true that sin is dead then what is to stop the believer from robbery, murder and unbridled sex? If one has died to self and lives the life of Jesus (oh, there is a catch), one is living in love. There is nothing to stop one from robbery, murder and unbridled sex except ones dying to self and living for Jesus. Jesus died for us so we must live for Him. It is not love of another to rob them or to murder them or to selfishly have physical knowledge of their life partner (husband or wife). It is not showing love to ones life partner to share physical knowledge of ones self with another. One is dead to the commandments of do not and is resurrected to live the new commandment of love towards, a commandment of do. Do unto others as you would have done unto you, may explain it well. Do show the respect you want to receive. Do give the love you require. Do share when you have just as you would want it to be to you, if you had not. It is true that sin is dead and the living should not walk with the dead. Do walk with the living Christ.
Now with these things said and the Passover complete, the bread broken, the cup passed on and the spirit come to us, we should move on from here. Sin is dead. We do not need to keep revisiting our dead friend and reliving the dying to self. It is done. We do need to share the testimony to them still holding on to the promise of death, but we do not need to relive death ourselves. How do we continue? How do we move on? One must ask that of the living Christ and heed the words of the spirit sent to comfort and teach. In what ever we do, we do for Christ. We do not hate for Christ. We cannot hate for Christ. Christ is not hate. What is the do? Do love one another. Do find in the spirit the power to release sin from everyone. Do let God be the judge. Do go into the world and teach the good news. Do visit the sick. Do give what you can to help the homeless and fatherless. Do prepare to hear God say, “welcome my good and faithful child in whom I am proud.” Do live for Jesus. Do it for life.
But if sin is dead, why is there so much abomination on the earth? Because many will not accept the gift of God, that is the Son of God and the son of woman that died and is alive. Some laugh and mock and say there is no God. Others say God in every breath, but do not accept the death of sin. Still others accept the death of sin, but only for themselves while condemning anyone that is not like them. Seek and you shall find, but if you seek the wrong thing that you may also find. Ask and it will be given unto you, but if you ask the wrong thing that you may also be given. Seek the mercy of God more than sacrifice and the understanding of God’s will more than offerings. By what name will you call your faith? Will you call your faith love or possessions? Mercy would be multiplying the possessions of your spirit and understanding before the increase of your other goods. Having possessions without the knowledge of charity is to possess without a cause. Do ask, how will I live this day for You Lord and not how will this day prophet me. If you are in the right walk, both will be the same. If you are in the wrong walk, you will be put on your path and both will be the same. We were all born of woman, if we live for Jesus we are also born of God. Jesus did die for you, do live for Him.
