Fresh Manna 9 June
MEDITATION SCRIPTURE: “He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? For he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was stricken. (Isa.53:8).
READ: ISA.53:1-17
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
You know that everything that happened to Jesus Christ, from Gethsemane to His trial, His crucifixion and resurrection all have their significance in our salvation package. Jesus could have died by any other means in the hands of the Jews. But that could have reduced Him to a mere martyr not fulfilling God’s demand of justice for the total emancipation of mankind. God had to allow Him go through the pains of rejection from those
He loved and trusted, to pay for man’s betrayal in the Garden of Eden (Gen.3:1-16). He passed through the Roman trial and received thirty-nine stripes to pay the price for our healing and infirmities. Isaiah wrote, “for he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of my peace was upon him and by his stripes we are healed (Isa.53:5). He shed His blood as a full payment for the redemption of our soul of the guilt and condemnation of sin. “for the wages of sin is death, for gift of God is eternal life through Christ our Lord” (Rom.6:23).
Beloved, do you know that Satan has no justification anymore to hold you down with any yoke of bondage? Jesus paid in full. Freedom from sin with all its attractions and guilt is possible. No matter how much your body has been eaten up by sickness and diseases; hear me; your healing has been paid for. The cross has secured total freedom and abundant life, but only faith in the cross makes it accessible to all who believe. Any time Satan shows up to rob off your freedom in any area of your life, don’t argue with him, just present the blood of the new covenant, he will flee away.
TURNING POINT: The cross has secured total life, but only faith in the cross makes it accessible to all who believe.
PRAYER POINT: Lord, I thank You for the cross and for the blood. I claim my total freedom in Jesus name amen.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2chron.17,18,19; JN.15
