Good Friday is the darkest day. In human history.
Is the brightest moment of divine?
Love. Brightest moment of divine love
one of the narratives about the death of Christ talked about
darkness that came upon the. Heart when Jesus yielded the
ghost. Why darkness?
Darkness. Because the matter of sin was
dealt with decisively. There was an exchange.
Of life. No, Shelley.
That darkness came every that
day as a mark of an hand to eternal death.
O cocona Juan Y Ojano CIOs in she a Pereira O me.
As a mark, that divine intervention has come to bring
an end to eternal death. Whoever falls on the side of
darkness, on the side of eternal death, after all, did it by
choice. I mean, we pay.
How did this story of the cross, How did this story of matter, of
life and death? This morning by the grace of
God. Who read?
A lot of scriptures, it was no streets.
The breath of life and man became a living soul.
On life came by his breath. On your me, me yeh si ho imore
en yosi dia la yo con E Meanwhile latera E MiTo missing
no re. So what went wrong?
The Bible tells us something about death.
Rebellious Kafuani Paiku. In Romans.
In a way, Rome. Since for the wages of sin is
what? Story where you couldn't hear
your shape. So if the man that God created
was a living soul, how did death come in?
And it's your loan that they are like you come.
That came as a reward for sin. Yukuwa Niwa we pay OJ.
That came as a consequence of sin.
As we. Move on.
This morning I will tell you, by the grace of God, several clear
truths about sin. Be as it says.
Why'd you know right, Mama Suffer what anybody of Theolono
and what it's on Major. Number one sin is rebellion.
Against God. In that same Genesis chapter 2,
verse 15 to 17. Anyway, Genesis.
Let us read what God said to the first people.
He created. Verse 15, Chapter 2.
And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of
hidden, to dress it and to keep it.
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of
the garden thou mayest eat freely, but of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it, For in the
day that thou eaters down sharp surely die.
So there was a. Divine Instruction to the man
carrying the breath of God, who is not a living soul.
There is the consequence of violation of that instruction
given ahead of. Quality you carry grace you are
the living soul you. Have to live eternally.
But. This is the way to keep that.
Eternal life. When you fail to do that.
Corruption will. Come into.
Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field,
which the Lord God at me. And he said unto the woman,
Yeah, at God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden.
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit
of the trees of the garden, but of the fruit of the tree which
is in the midst of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat
of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
So. She knew the consequences of
disobeying. God, but.
The serpent said unto the human, We shall not surely die.
For God don't know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your
eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good
and evil. Now at.
This point confusion set in for the.
Woman at. This.
Point there is a. Doubt cast on the originality
and the genuineness of God. And.
When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, the woman
didn't see until now or the woman started to see from
another perspective by. To.
You need to be very, very careful of who you listen to, of
what you listen to. Until this point, the fruits.
They were commanded not to eat. Remained there.
They didn't touch it. But when attention was given to
the serpent. Money back, the serpent started
to give. Them direction.
And such direction to be a destruction to your destiny.
The. House this.
Morning teach you. Very well at.
Home teach you the cool things to do and.
The wrong things to avoid. Once you get to school, you.
See a friend doing the direct opposite of what your parents
ask you not to do. They intimidate you, making you
look like you don't belong. You are not social and because
of that you have listened to them.
You follow them to do the wrong thing.
Once. Yeah, Your teachers.
In Sunday school class, your teachers in children's class,
your teachers in teenagers class, your pastors in teenagers
church, I've taught you the right thing to do.
You go to school, you see your friend doing the wrong thing.
Please don't listen to them. There was that disruption that
came. In Pano Kanwa.
Because he gave attention to the.
Serpent you see there? Is a way an idea can come into
your mind and you begin to look at, I can begin to look at this
spell and something suggests to me that is it really true that
this color is good? Is it not whitish?
And if you concentrate on that idea so long, OK, the perception
of white color begin to get established.
On the objects 01 so far, we pay our only scenario so most often.

of God in her mind. But the.
Movement the serpent said something suggested something as
an alternative to the Word of God.
She began to see in the direction of the picture created
by the. Serpent in her mind and.
When the human saw that the tree was good for food, and it was
pleasant to the high, and a tree to be desired to make one wise,
she took of the food there and did it, and gave also unto her
husband with. Her and she did it.
What's the FIFO or OCJ? And the eyes of them both were
opened, and they knew that they were naked.
And they sealed fig lives together and made themselves
aprons, and the head of the voice of the Lord God walking in
the garden in the cool of the day.
And Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of
the Lord God amongst the three of the garden.
Once he's gone away, once he died once, he only need to be
very careful about. Decisions we make.
And actions were carried out immediately.
The heads scripture said their eyes were.
Open they. Discovered that they were naked.
They see together. And the next thing they had the
voice of God, and they ran away from God.
What connected them with God? OK, God destructed.
They cut off from God. They ran.

Just an act, but a. Dominating power.
Look at. How long sin entered into the
history of man. There will be a.
Tomorrow we are. Still talking about?
So it is not just an act. You know.
Collecting the fruit and eating it, that's an act, isn't it?
Big bar is so he wants Jay or Jay Ishay.
Is an act that come with consequences.
It is authorizing the devil to dominate your life.
Is wrong to experiment with. God has given express
instruction and there's a pressure that came upon your
life and say hello, look, you are hopefully the devil, for you
are hopefully the door for the devil to dominate.
To dominate, you are giving authority access to the
dominionic power of the. Devil so it is not.
Correct as a type of God to experiment with anything that is
against the will of God and you know it, that God has served
instruction on this matter, but for whatever reason you chose to
do certain things deliberately to satisfy yourself, you are
open the door to the devil. To dominate your life, Jesus.

Is a very popular verse of the. Scripture CEO Baja.
For all I've seen. And come short of the glory of
alcohol. I was the one that carries the
living bread of God, and that bread was corrupted and from him
all of us degenerated. As we're coming into the world,
we're coming in as Sina. And he says insane.
My mother conceived me. Insane was I born. 4.
Sin. Is deadly in its consequences.
E shello neno, E re. Steady sin is.
Terrible because. The result of it is dead.
We've. Said.
That in Romans 623. Sin is deadly.
The reward? Of it is death, both physical
death and eternal death, when. We talk about eternal.
We are talking about eternal. Separation from God.
Revelations chapter 20 give us a clear description of what it
means to be dead. Revelations chapter 20.
Let's read. From verse 11 to 15.
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from
whose face the heart and the heaven fled away, and there was
found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and
great stand before God, and the books were opened, and another
book was open, which is the book of life.
Remember, we are talking about life by His death.
Erotic Bay and Sony. And the dead were dulled out of
those things which were written in the books according to their
works. And the sea gave up the dead
which were in need, that is, those that have died physically.
It was because. He came, that's why men began to
die physically, but man also died spiritually and died
eternally. But there is a rescue mission
that Christ came to is the reason for the celebration we
are doing today. But let's see what happened
here. The sea gave up the dead that
were in it, and the death. Verse 13 And the sea gave up the
dead which were in it, and death and hell delivered all the dead
which were in there, and they were judged every man according
to their works, And death and hell were cast into the lake of
fire. This is the second death.
This is eternal. Date.
Script analysis and whosoever was not found written in the
book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Mercy, read it. I see a way.
Hallelujah. Amen.
So. When the Bible talks deaths
being the wages of sin, hello, don't just think about the
physical death. Oh, so so person is dead.
Oh, they are financed. They are obituary of so and so
person. It is deeper than that.
It is more than that. Hello Sunny, we pay you Kiyama
Maro we putara Sunny pare Ojilo. Talking about eternal separation
when man that died in sin will be totally separated from God
for eternity and burning in the lake of fire.
For eternity, you see. The capacity of the soul of man
by the investment that God put into man when He created man,
that soul cannot disintegrate. That soul cannot dissolve.
That and hand will come to heat. It will continue to live
eternally. But in what post, in what
position, in what status? That is what matters for those
that are not born again, for those that will not appropriate
the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ that gave us
eternal life, who did an exchange of position for us by
giving us eternal life. Hey, eternal death is continuous
living instead of agony instead of pain with consciousness that
will not end eternally. How many of you have been born

That is where every man. By the reason of what happened
in Genesis chapter 3, is supposed to.
That is the agenda of the devil. That is where the devil want
every man to be. For the Bible says that hell is
created for the devil and his angels, not for human beings.
But the devil came to 10th man to draw people.

The gravity of sail required a ransom.
So in the. Old
Testament we saw prescription for atonement.
And. It is about sacrificial death.
I want, I want you to exercise a little pressure.
Because. We must begin to specially
appreciate what Jesus Christ did for us.
So repay anila tibarecini mariri on CJSU Christie chefua.
Let's let's read from Leviticus chapter 16.
Maybe my interpreter will just hold on.
Let me just read it. So God gave prescription for
atonement for the nation of Israel and carefully look at
this prescription. Leviticus, chapter 16.
Let me. Start reading from this one.
And the Lord speak unto Moses after the death of the two sons
of Iran. And when they offered before the
Lord and died, they attempt to offer sacrifices before the Lord
that would not permit us to look at that, and they died.
When the one who is going before God on behalf of the people
became rejected, unqualified and God struck them.
Dead they were supposed to be. Priests.
Going. Before the.
Lord. Of the congregation you see all
manner of rubbish on the altar of the living God, all manner of
people claiming to be servant of the living God and messing up
the in the days of Moses if it were to.
Be in the days of Iran, people will be dropping dead.
Like this, the matter of the atonement of my sin, of your sin
in the hand, or within the contest of ironic priesthood.
Yet the ball is not possible. We cannot be saved from eternal
death. I am tempted to dwell on this
first verse, but I want us to have a progressive understanding
and appreciation of what Christ came to do for us.
On a day like this. And the Lord said unto Moses,
Speak unto Heron thy brother, that he come not at all times
into the holy place, within the veil before the mercy sea, which
is upon the heart, that it die not, for I will appear in the
cloud upon the mercy sea. Glory be to Jesus, even for
Iran. God has to give instruction to
their Father that look, you don't just come.
Anytime I'm placing. The restriction.
I'm placing. The.
Restriction. Thus shall come into the memory.
Now you will come to the only place.
With a young Bullock for a sin offering and a ram for a bond
offering, how many sin have you committed in the course of the
week that is gone by? This is the when the 4th month
of this year, isn't it? Let's just assume that January,
February, March. That's 12 weeks, 12 weeks, 13
weeks. Let's just assume that you only
always make just one mistake in the course of the week, and you
must have told for each of those error per week.
You must. Come with a goat for each of
the. Goats already this year.
A would I be metala when you watch the money or doing.
Multiplied by how many thousand they are selling each in the
market. He has wife Ishiro Yeti, 1.
Now listen, look at this following very well, best form,
He shall put on the only liner coats.
That is the priestly garment. Now are we together?
Just try to imagine that He coming to preach here to you
every Sunday, or to pray for you here every Sunday, just as we
read. Look at the picture of the dress
that Daddy must put on. He is not at liberty to put on
what I'm wearing. Sometimes Daddy will dress up,
put up sneakers like young people and bounce to the altar
to preach with AT shirt and somebody.
Will just rush there and bring the to him.
Look at the dress. You are sure TB Ben in Sunny B?
The holy lining coat. And he shall have lining bridges
upon his flesh, and shall be guarded with a lining garden,
and with a lining meter around his head shall be attired.
These are holy garments. Therefore shall he wash flesh in
water and so put them on. And he shall take of the
congregation of the Children of Israel, two kids of the goats
for sin offering, and 1 ram for a bond offering.
One episode of engaging the altar.
And Eron shall offer his Bullock first for himself.
Eron shall offer his Bullock of the sin offering which is for
himself, and make an atonement for himself and for his house.
So the priest climbing the altar, I cannot say I am a child
of God. I'm a servant of God.
I am clean the. Priest must be clean from home.
From the house in. Other words, he must offer
sacrifices for his own atonement and ensure that every member of
his family is atone. For sacrifices for the.
Atonement of the congregation of the sin offering, which is for
himself, and make atonement for himself and his House of the
seven. And he shall take the two goats
and present them before the Lord at the door of the Tabanaku of
the congregation. And error shall cast lots upon
the two goats. 1 Lord for the Lord, and the other Lord for the
scapegoat Shewari. And we wouldn't make it.
Two goats is bringing with him. He will cast lots.
You're Debo. I say, which one belongs to God?
Yeah. You saw you pay a word into your
lion and. One that one is picked, it will
be a sacrifice, a bond of rain to the Lord.
Then the second one is the scapegoat.
Good Hallelujah. That scapegoat is the one that
is affecting us, that is attached to the death of Christ
today. So by the time we now appear, it
will offer one of the kids gods as sacrifice to the Lord.
Then the other one is the scapegoat.
Let's see the next. Verse and error shall bring the
goat upon upon which the lost Lord fell, and offer him for sin
offering before God a sin offering the one that is for the
Lord. We offer that one a sin offering
then. But the goats on which the Lord
fell to be the scapegoats shall be presented alive before the
Lord, to make and torment with him, and to let him go for a
scapegoat into the wilderness. And how will that be done?
And Aaron shall bring the Bullock of the sin offering
which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself
and for his household, and shall kill the Bullock of the same
offering which is for himself. And he shall take the sensor
full of burning coals of fire from all the altar before the
Lord, and hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring
it within the veil, and it shall put the incense upon the fire.
Now let's keep because of our time to verse.
OK, let's see verse 15 then shall he kill the goat for sin
offering that is for the people and bring his blood which is
within the veil, and do with that blood as he did with the
blood of the Bullock and sprinkle it on the massive seed,
etcetera. I want to get to the vast where
he talks about what he does with with the scapegoat.
OK, verse 20, Verse 21. OK verse 20.
And when he had made an end of reconciling the holy place and
the Tabernacle with the congregation, there is a
reconciliation of the only place of the Tabernacle with the
congregation. By offering that God has seen
offering, He would have reconciled the congregation,
that is the people, with God. Look at that long.
Journey. He said, And Aaron shall lay
both ends upon the head of the lifeboat, that is the one, the
scapegoat. He will lay his hand upon him,
and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of
Israel, and all their transgressions in all their
sins, putting them upon the head of the gold, and shall send him
away by the hand to by the end of a fit man into the
wilderness. They will not look for one man
that is fit. He will put the whole of his
hand. The two end upon the scapegoat
and confess the sin of every member of the House of Israel,
the scene of victory. The scene of He will not put his
hand and begin to pronounce the scene of every member of the
congregation. And when that is gone?
Successfully. Transferred the iniquity of all
the people upon that goat. They will not.
Look for a fit man in the congregation.
You will be the 1:00 to. Now take that into the.
Wilderness. I would have loved that we
exhaust the entire chapter, but when you get to go and.
Study. Now imagine that Jesus did not.
Come imagine that, Jesus. Did not offer.
Himself to die. This is the procedures and the
difficult technicalities of atonement that will be subjected
to perform every time we. Need to ask for forgiveness.
Is. Costly.
Is. By human power, the technicality
of the atonement is too cumbersome.
So Hebrews. Chapter. 9.
Being calm and high priest of good things to come by a greater
and more perfect Tabernacle, that is to say north of this
building by the blood of goats and calves.
For by His own blood enter in wounds into the holy place,
having obtained eternal redemption for us.
For He the blood of bulls and of golds, and of the ashes of the
heifers, prinkly the unclean, sanctified without spot of God,
pour your conscience from dead walls to serve the living God.
Time will not permit me to expose this verses thoroughly,
but the point is this. The long procedure in Levitical.
That's why the technicalities. Involved.
In Levitical, the Bible said that the.
Best that that could do was to clean the flesh.
We pay the physical. Presence.
OK, a little. A little accommodating before
gold the. Capacity of the is limited.
It does not solve the problem of Jesus,
Jesus. He was not created.
To the rightful position. With God.
We also need a soul in life that has no sin to restore man back
to his original. Position with God.
This is the secret that the devil saw knew when he tempted
Jesus at the beginning of his ministry.
He wanted to corrupt the Spirit. He wanted to text Jesus using
the same methodology that was used to bring Adam and leave
down, protect Jesus in the wilderness so that the final
accomplishment of the ransom of the Son of Man will become
impossible eternally and therefore mass doom, mass
eternal position in hand is sick.
We have a priest who has. Our.
Feeling who is not in touch? With what we are going through,
the Bible said he was tempted in all ways.
He was without sin himself, said The Prince of this world came
into me and he lost it. He found nothing in me to hold
against me. So I have qualified and I'm here
to deliver perfect atonement for the restoration of your soul.
For the restoration of my soul, children.
Yeah. To be born humanity ransomed by
the shedding of the precious. Blood of Jesus sin.
Is not. Only powerful.
Sin is not only universal, sin is not only Caribou, sin is not
only grave, sin is not only dominioni, sin is conquerable
and Jesus conquer. And the devil complete death,
but Jesus has come to restore. Life, what are you?
Doing with the death of Jesus. What are you doing?
With your life, with the resurrection of.
Jesus. Can you appreciate him for the
love show to you and. Her and.
Renew your commitment to him. Can you?
Choose this morning to. Always do his will.
For Grace to love him. More to.
Accept him as your Lord and Savior, and you cry before him.
I say, Master Jesus, I appreciate what you did to save
me. I accept the offer of grace.
I accept your. Offer of free salvation.
I for the of G Thank you precious Father that are
renewing their position with you this
morning. Please have.
Mercy accept. Them.
And guiding us to live righteous.
All the days of our we. Accept although the offer of the
living sacrifice. Of Jesus.
We receive the restoration of living spirit, living soul into
our. In Jesus name.
We pray.
