THE THIRD PHASE OF CHRIST’S WORK IN HIS HUMAN NATURE FOR OUR SALVATION

August 21, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE THIRD PHASE OF CHRIST’S WORK IN HIS HUMAN NATURE FOR OUR SALVATION

“When Christ at last cried out, ‘It is finished,’ He had completed the SECOND PHASE of His work. But there was still THIRD PHASE before Him, which included His SESSION at the right hand of God as [the penitent sinner’s merciful High Priest, all-powerful Mediator, Intercessor and Advocate] and the demonstration which He was to make IN His saints in earth—a work closely connected with that which He was to do in the SANCTUARY ABOVE, and vital to our [eternal] salvation.”

“Christ had demonstrated in HIS OWN BODY that it was possible to be completely victorious over sin; but the question would naturally arise as to whether His victory was merely a SiNGULAR DEMONSTRATION made possible by His unique relation to the Father OR whether OTHERS could do what He had done? Could men overcome as He had overcame?”

THE ‘WORK’ CHRIST ‘FINISHED’ BEFORE DYING ON THE CROSS

August 17, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE ‘WORK’ CHRIST ‘FINISHED’ BEFORE DYING ON THE CROSS.

“Christ voluntarily took our sins upon Him. Every temptation we have to meet [whether desires of the flesh, attractions of the world, physical or emotional afflictions, etc.], He met, until Satan’s darts were exhausted.”

“With no other help from God that we may have, He DEMONSTRATED that it is POSSIBLE to resist sin and have constant victory over every temptation. His BODY TEMPLE, which Satan attempted to defile, was STAINLESS [remained undefiled, sinless, uncorrupted].”

CLAIMING THE MERITS OF CHRIST’S CLOSING WORK OF ATONEMENT

May 5, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

CLAIMING THE MERITS OF CHRIST’S CLOSING WORK OF ATONEMENT

Mainstream Christianity clings to the mistaken idea that Christ’s work for the redemption of sinners ended at the cross. When Jesus said, “It is finished” as He was expiring, it was the sacrifice of His life and and shedding of His blood that was “finished” as the “Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world.”

He then resurrected after His death to become our merciful High Priest, pleading His own blood in behalf of all penitent sinners who are repenting and confessing their sins. This is how the repentant sinner is justified by the blood of Christ, never by his “works!!”

The ‘Mystery of God is Finished Up’ During the Seventh Trumpet– the Climactic Point of the Great Controversy!

Before zeroing into seventh trumpet, we must bear in mind this bigger picture: the seven trumpets are mated with the prophecies of Daniel chapters 2 and 7. Uriah Smith says: “The blowing of the trumpets by the seven angels comes as a complement to the prophecy of Daniel 2 and 7, beginning with the breaking up of the old Roman Empire into its ten divisions. In the first 4 trumpets [which we covered in past issues], we have a description of the special events which marked Rome’s fall.”- Daniel and the Revelation, p. 475.
