WILL APPEAR A SECOND TIME / HEBREWS 9:28

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Hebrews 9:27-28
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

28So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

WILL APPEAR A SECOND TIME / HEBREWS 9:28

Under the old covenant, Israelites watched and waited intently for the high priest to reappear after he had gone into the inner sanctuary (the Most Holy Place) to make atonement (“covering over” for sin) with the blood of the sacrifice. In a similar way, Christ’s followers, knowing that their high priest has entered the heavenly sanctuary as their advocate, wait with a deep and focused hope for His reappearing to being a complete salvation by taking them to be with Him in heaven forever (John 14:3; 2 Timothy 4:8).

WITHOUT THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD … NO FORGIVENESS / HEBREWS 9:22

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Hebrews 9:22

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

WITHOUT THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD … NO FORGIVENESS / HEBREWS 9:22

Sin – which is opposition, rebellion and defiance toward God and His standards – is so radically opposed to God’s perfect character that it requires the most extreme penalty: death and separation from God (Romans 6:23; Isaiah 59:2). Forgiveness can only be provided at the cost of life (Leviticus 17:11). But imperfect sacrifices could never permanently remove sin and guilt (Hebrews 10:4). Even our own lives are not worthy to pay the full price since death would simply give us what we deserve for defying God. Only God Himself could provide a sacrifice that satisfies His perfect justice and pays the penalty for sin once and for all (Hebrews 7:27; 9:12, 29; 10:10; 1 Peter 3:18). God’s Provision came through the willing sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ (Romans 3:25).

WILL BAPTIZE WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT / JOHN 1:33

(KJV) John 1:33
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

WILL BAPTIZE WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT / JOHN 1:33

The word “with” is a translation of the Greek proposition en and can mean “by,” “with” or “in.” An alternate translation would be “he who will baptize in the Holy Spirit,” just as “baptize with water” may be understood as “baptize in water” (the word “baptize” literally means to “immerse,” or put under water).

All the Gospels (the accounts of Jesus’ and ministry by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) state that Jesus is “he who will baptize with [in] the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 3:11; Mark 1:8; Luke 3:16; John 1:33). This baptism – a sign of cleansing and empowering – was to be the dynamic characteristic and distinction of Jesus’ followers. The Holy Spirit would be poured out on them (and into them) so that they might continue to carry His message of spiritual salvation throughout the world (Acts 1:8). The task of baptizing in the Spirit is the ongoing purpose of Jesus to this day (Matthew 3:11; Acts 2:39).

LAMB OF GOD / JOHN 1:29

START YOUR DAYILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 1:29
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

LAMB OF GOD / JOHN 1:29

Jesus is described as the Lamb (a lamb was used in Old Testament sacrifices – particularly the Passover – to make atonement, or “covering,” for sin) provided by God Himself to pay the death penalty that all humanity deserved for rebellion against God (Exodus 12:13-17; Isaiah 53:7). While Old Testament animal sacrifices were imperfect and could not actually remove sin, Jesus Christ would be the perfect and sinless sacrifice, paying the full penalty of sin once and for all. By His death, Jesus broke the power of guilt and sin and opened the way to God for all who accept Jesus as Forgiver of their sins and Leader of their lives.

A PORTION AMONG THE GREAT – POURED OUT HIS LIFE UNTO DEATH – MADE INTERCESSION FOR THE TRANSGRESSORS / ISAIAH 53:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Isaiah 53:12
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.

A PORTION AMONG THE GREAT – POURED OUT HIS LIFE UNTO DEATH – MADE INTERCESSION FOR THE TRANSGRESSORS / ISAIAH 53:12

A PORTION AMONG THE GREAT

God promised to reward Christ for His sacrificial death, and Christ in turn promises to share His reward with all those who are “strong” in faith. This refers to those who trust and follow Him in doing spiritual battle against sin and Satan through the power of God’s Holy Spirit.

POURED OUT HIS LIFE UNTO DEATH

Because of Jesus’ death on the cross, God has reserved and released a great inheritance for His followers. God’s servants have the privilege and responsibility to share the message of the “good news” about forgiveness and new life through Christ Jesus to all people. But any preaching of the gospel that does not focus primarily on how Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross frees us from the power of sin is doomed to failure. A message that does not emphasize the importance of the cross will be ineffective and will not have the power to transform lives, because it lacks the blessing and presence of Christ and His Son.

THE TRANSGRESSORS

To intercede means to plead someone else’s case or to pray for others’ situations and needs. In His agony on the cross, Jesus interceded for sinners (Luke 23:34). His ministry of intercession still continues in heaven (Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25) where He serves as our advocate, supporter and defender.

SUFFERING OF HIS SOUL / ISAIAH 53:11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Isaiah 53:11

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.

SUFFERING OF HIS SOUL / ISAIAH 53:11

Christ’s suffering would accomplish God’s purpose and provide spiritual salvation – a personal relationship with God and the opportunity to live forever with Him – for the “many” who believe (who accept Christ and entrust their lives to Him).

THE LORD’S WILL TO CRUSH HIM / ISAIAH 53:10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Isaiah 53:10
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.

THE LORD’S WILL TO CRUSH HIM / ISAIAH 53:10

It was part of God the Father’s perfect plan to send His Son to die on the cross for a spiritually lost rebellious world (John 3:16). Since part of God’s character is perfect justice, the price for humanity’s rebellion against God had to be paid; but the payment had to be perfect and complete. Only Jesus Christ’s life could have fulfilled that requirement. By making Christ an atoning (“sin covering”) sacrifice for all sin (Leviticus 5:15; 6:5; 19:21). God accomplished His purpose of providing forgiveness for people and bringing those who accept Him back onto a relationship with Himself. That is the meaning of the phrase “he will see his offspring” – His spiritual descendants. He will “prolong His days” means that Christ would rise from the dead and live to reign forever.

A GRAVE WITH THE WICKED / ISAIAH 53:9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Isaiah 53:9

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.

A GRAVE WITH THE WICKED / ISAIAH 53:9

This phrase gives us the hint that Jesus Christ would die alongside the wicked (the two thieves executed beside Him), or that the Roman soldiers planned to bury Him with those criminals. Yet, as prophesied here (“and with the rich in His death”), He was buried in a rich man’s tomb (Matthew 27:57-60). Then again, the verse may simply be pointing out that although Jesus was sinless and did not deserve to die, He took our place and suffered death just like all other humans who die as a consequence of sin.

LIKE A LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER / ISAIAH 53:7

Jesus endured His suffering for us patiently and voluntarily (1 Peter 1; Revelation 5:6). He loves us completely and unconditionally and He considered His suffering and sacrifice completely worth the cost because it opened the way for us to have a personal relationship with Him (Hebrews 12:2).

WE ALL, LIKE SHEEP, HAVE GONE ASTRAY ISAIAH 53:6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Isaiah 53:6

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.

WE ALL, LIKE SHEEP, HAVE GONE ASTRAY ISAIAH 53:6

Part of humankind’s stubborn and rebellious nature includes the pull toward things that dishonor God. Individuals prefer to follow their own selfish ways rather than obey God’s commands and instructions (Romans 6:1). Living to please ourselves rather than living to please God is direct rebellion against Him. This is one of the primary definitions of sin. We are all guilty. Therefore, we all needed Christ to die in our place. He is the only one who ever followed God’s purposes completely, resisting all selfish desires (Philippians 2:3-5). For that reason, His is the only life worthy to pay the full penalty for sin. In order to receive the benefits of His sacrifice, we must admit our sin, accept Christ’s forgiveness, give up our own way and submit our lives to Christ’s leadership and to God’s purposes.
