Jesus Died for You and as You!
Since our celebration of Easter—Resurrection Sunday—is at the end of this month, I thought this might be an excellent time to reflect more fully on all that Jesus did for us.
It is indeed one of the great unexplored mysteries of our salvation that Christ not only died FOR US, but Jesus Christ died AS US! When He died, you died. Now, your life is hidden in Christ.
Let us remember…when God looked at man’s fallen state, He found only one remedy, a remedy that would cost Him everything. The Father gave His only begotten Son; that was His price. And the Son? He chose to give His life and spill His blood as a ransom for you. Think about that. The solution for fallen man could not be found in therapy, counseling, or religious rituals.
God has only one remedy for the human condition—execution!
Therefore, to satisfy both the demands of God’s holiness and His desire to rescue the creation He loved, Jesus allowed the sins of the world to fall on HIMSELF!
So God did something even the devil never anticipated—Jesus not only died FOR us, He died AS US so that He could live IN US and move THROUGH US! He joined the redeemed human race to the Godhead and was inviting them to sit with Him on His throne and rule!
It all started on Easter. The Bible declares, “When He died, you died.” That means when He walked out of the tomb—YOU walked out with Him! When He rose, you rose. You were joined to Jesus in a way the angels, the devils, and you never thought about. You see, you were on the cross when He died, and you were in the grave when He was buried, and you rose up with Him in His resurrection!
Therefore, we were buried with Him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised up out from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life. (Romans 6:4)
This means you can now walk in the Spirit! You have wings like a bird and can now operate in a new life that is free from the earthbound gravitational law of sin. You can learn to soar. The Spirit of God has come into your once-dead human spirit and regenerated it—made it alive with a new nature! You have the divine nature of the Son of God woven into your recreated spirit. That is why you can authentically cry “Abba Father”—and like Jesus, you can call the thrice holy God of the universe Daddy!
