I'm going to read one verse 192 00:23:16,300 --> 00:23:23,000 there tonight and we're going to look at verse 21 here in just a 193 00:23:23,008 --> 00:23:26,900 moment. The purpose of this brief sermon 194 00:23:26,900 --> 00:23:34,300 is to reflect on the Indescribable Grace that we see 195 00:23:34,300 --> 00:23:39,300 in the Cross of Christ. I do believe what, Isaac Watts 196 00:23:39,300 --> 00:23:42,400 perfectly summed up. And what we've just sung, a few 197 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:47,900 moments ago, when I Survey the Wondrous Cross, he says, see 198 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:54,800 from his head from his hands from his feet sorrow and love 199 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,200 flow. Mingled down and he says, did 200 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,200 are such love and sorrow, meet, or Thorns compose. 201 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:08,500 So rich a crown. Just really beautiful meditation 202 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:13,200 on what we see at the Cross of Christ, which is sorrow. 203 00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:20,900 On one hand, it's the death of God's only son, And mingled with 204 00:24:20,900 --> 00:24:23,800 it. The purpose behind it. 205 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,800 All is God's, great. Love for his people, his desire 206 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:31,800 to redeem, the wicked. To redeem those who seem 207 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,900 unredeemable or who were on their own unredeemable, it's to 208 00:24:35,900 --> 00:24:37,600 save. Sinners, right. 209 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,900 Let's after all, what the Book of Matthew says, when the angel 210 00:24:41,900 --> 00:24:45,700 comes and pronounces their that Christ will be born. 211 00:24:45,700 --> 00:24:47,800 It says, his name Shall be Called Jesus for. 212 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,300 He will save his people, from their sins. 213 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,100 Amen. This is what Christ has done on 214 00:24:55,100 --> 00:24:58,500 the cross as he has brought salvation to his people. 215 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:05,200 So how can you describe an event that requires death, an event? 216 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,300 That requires Bloodshed an event that requires such sacrifice 217 00:25:09,300 --> 00:25:12,900 that event, where the only innocent not guilty? 218 00:25:12,900 --> 00:25:16,800 Man who's ever walked the face of the Earth was put to death. 219 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,700 How can we describe that kind of event as loving? 220 00:25:21,900 --> 00:25:28,800 Or good or merciful? As we read it earlier and Isaiah 221 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:34,200 53, it was the will of God. To put him to death. 222 00:25:36,100 --> 00:25:40,100 For what purpose? I believe, the ultimate purpose 223 00:25:40,100 --> 00:25:44,700 is for the praise of God's glorious, Grace as Paul sums it 224 00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:48,900 up in Ephesians chapter 1. As we read there about our 225 00:25:48,900 --> 00:25:51,900 adoption and about the salvation that we have in about the 226 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,500 ceiling of the holy spirit that we've received. 227 00:25:54,500 --> 00:25:58,500 Once we believed this good news of the gospel and says that all 228 00:25:58,500 --> 00:26:01,500 of that is to the praise of his glorious Grace. 229 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,200 It's for the praise of his great name in all the Earth, it's the 230 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:14,700 secure for himself worship on or due to his name. 231 00:26:15,900 --> 00:26:22,000 At the cross. God, laid your sin on Jesus so 232 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,000 that he could lay his righteousness on you. 233 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,400 In one moment on that Good Friday. 234 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:38,700 God, imputed, or he accounted your sin to Christ while 235 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:43,500 Computing or accounting his own righteousness to you. 236 00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:45,400 That's what we're going to look at tonight. 237 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,600 The cross and the coming, Resurrection are the foundation 238 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,800 of salvation for God's people? When I say coming Resurrection 239 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,900 I'm looking to the past but thinking in the future here, as 240 00:26:56,900 --> 00:27:02,000 we're looking At the cross, right Christ, died. 241 00:27:02,500 --> 00:27:04,700 Rose again on the first day of the week. 242 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:11,700 Second Corinthians 5:21. For our sake. 243 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,300 He made him who knew? No sin. 244 00:27:17,300 --> 00:27:22,200 To become. Sorry for our sake, he made him 245 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,500 to be sin who knew no sin. So, that in him, we might become 246 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:31,800 the righteousness of God. This is one of the most 247 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,100 important verses in all the scriptures for understanding the 248 00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:38,500 meaning of atonement and justification. 249 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,700 It's I don't know of another place in the scriptures were so 250 00:27:43,900 --> 00:27:48,700 succinctly stated what happened on the cross of Christ. 251 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,500 And it's incredibly significant for us to understand the 252 00:27:54,500 --> 00:27:59,600 atonement for us to understand what has happened in this 253 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,400 justification of sinners, in the death of Christ. 254 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:13,700 God made his own son to be regarded and treated as Sin even 255 00:28:13,700 --> 00:28:19,000 though he never sinned. We read elsewhere about Christ. 256 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,000 Hebrews 4:15 says, for we do not have a high priest who is unable 257 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,400 to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every 258 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:33,400 respect has been tempted, as we are yet without sin Christ 259 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:38,800 without sin. Galatians 3:13 Paul writes their 260 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,900 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a 261 00:28:42,900 --> 00:28:48,100 curse for us for it is written. Cursed is everyone who is hanged 262 00:28:48,100 --> 00:28:55,300 on a tree She got did this for you by his own Rich, Mercy, 263 00:28:55,700 --> 00:29:00,500 according to his own great love and his own astounding Grace, he 264 00:29:00,500 --> 00:29:04,200 has regarded and treated the sins of all who will believe in 265 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:09,700 Christ as if they belong, not to us, but to Christ himself. 266 00:29:12,900 --> 00:29:20,200 My sin upon him was late first, Peter 2:24 Peter writes there. 267 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,700 He says, he himself bore our sins in his body on the tree 268 00:29:24,700 --> 00:29:28,600 that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. 269 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,200 He goes on there to quote, what we read earlier. 270 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,600 And Isaiah 53. That by his wounds. 271 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,200 You have been healed, praise to Lord. 272 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,400 And becoming sin for our sake Christ. 273 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:46,200 Became our substitute that is that Christ bore the wrath of 274 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:51,900 God for sin in our place Romans 6:23 tells us that the wages of 275 00:29:51,900 --> 00:29:56,500 sin is death. When Adam and Eve fell, they 276 00:29:56,500 --> 00:30:01,600 brought death on the earth. Literally things began to die, 277 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,100 but they were two dead spiritually. 278 00:30:05,900 --> 00:30:09,700 And they would, they would remain spiritually dead if not 279 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,200 for the rescue. Of Christ. 280 00:30:14,700 --> 00:30:19,000 The same is true for us. Christ has died so that we might 281 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,200 live brothers and sisters. This is the doctrine of 282 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,500 substitutionary. Atonement that is Christ. 283 00:30:26,500 --> 00:30:31,500 Provided the atoning sacrifice as our substitute and for the 284 00:30:31,500 --> 00:30:37,000 sins of all who believe he he became sin for us. 285 00:30:38,500 --> 00:30:41,900 We see numerous parallels to this passage in Isaiah 53, which 286 00:30:41,900 --> 00:30:47,300 I read earlier, where the same Greek word is used five times. 287 00:30:47,300 --> 00:30:49,400 When you look at the Septuagint it's the same word that we see 288 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,400 here for sin and reference to the work of the suffering. 289 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,300 Servant, who is the coming savior? 290 00:30:55,300 --> 00:30:59,000 Who is the Son of God? Who is Jesus Christ? 291 00:31:00,100 --> 00:31:03,400 We see there. Surely he has borne our griefs. 292 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,100 And carried our sorrows, yet. We esteemed him stricken Smitten 293 00:31:08,100 --> 00:31:11,500 by God and Afflicted. He was crushed for our 294 00:31:11,500 --> 00:31:14,700 iniquities upon him. Was the chastisement that 295 00:31:14,700 --> 00:31:19,200 brought us peace and with his wounds, we are healed. 296 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:24,700 The lord has laid on him. The iniquity of us all he shall 297 00:31:24,700 --> 00:31:29,000 bear their iniquities. He bore the sin of many and 298 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,600 makes intercession for the transgressors. 299 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,300 It seemed perfect fulfillment of the prophecy in Isaiah, some 300 00:31:36,300 --> 00:31:40,300 700, or so years. Before Christ came to the Earth, 301 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:46,800 our sin on him was laid, amen. God imputed. 302 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:52,000 Our sin to him. For all who believe in Christ, 303 00:31:52,500 --> 00:31:55,200 praise the Lord. But why? 304 00:31:57,700 --> 00:32:02,600 so that In him, we might become the righteousness of God. 305 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,600 That's what we read here, for our sake. 306 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,500 He made him to be sin who knew no sin. 307 00:32:07,500 --> 00:32:12,400 So that, in Christ, we might become the righteousness of God. 308 00:32:12,500 --> 00:32:14,700 There might be peace with God. That's what we read. 309 00:32:14,700 --> 00:32:16,800 Just a few verses earlier in 2nd Corinthians 5. 310 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,600 It talks about how there has been reconciliation. 311 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:25,000 Now with the father made through Christ, And that's a result of 312 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,400 us becoming New Creations in Christ, Jesus. 313 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:35,400 You see this work has achieved righteousness for an unrighteous 314 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,100 people. Just as God, imputed our sin to 315 00:32:39,108 --> 00:32:41,800 Christ and an act of stunning Grace. 316 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:48,100 He then imputes, Christ's righteousness to us to be clear. 317 00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:50,400 This righteousness is not your own. 318 00:32:52,100 --> 00:32:55,200 It's not of your own doing. In fact, to be crystal. 319 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,400 Clear the scriptures say that your righteousness is as a 320 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:05,600 filthy rag. Which means it's worthless. 321 00:33:06,700 --> 00:33:09,400 It's not achieving any sort of righteousness, for yourself. 322 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,600 It's not enough to achieve Glory, you and I brothers and 323 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,100 sisters cannot work ourselves into heaven. 324 00:33:19,900 --> 00:33:23,500 We can't work ourselves there, boys and girls. 325 00:33:23,500 --> 00:33:26,600 It's good for you to know. Now that there will not be 326 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:27,700 enough. Good Deeds. 327 00:33:27,700 --> 00:33:28,400 Yes. Oh, baby. 328 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,700 Mommy, and daddy for this is rights, but there will not be 329 00:33:31,700 --> 00:33:32,300 enough. Good. 330 00:33:32,300 --> 00:33:37,100 Deeds to achieve heaven for you, you must submit your life to 331 00:33:37,100 --> 00:33:43,900 Christ. But what we see is that because 332 00:33:43,900 --> 00:33:47,500 Christ bore the wrath of God for the sins of those who will 333 00:33:47,500 --> 00:33:50,700 believe God, then regards and treats those. 334 00:33:50,700 --> 00:33:55,000 Those Believers as having the legal status of righteousness. 335 00:33:55,700 --> 00:33:59,400 It's there's it's fully, there's because of Christ. 336 00:34:00,900 --> 00:34:04,600 It's not like a hat that he puts on you and then he takes off in 337 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,500 a moment and may put on you again, in a moment and then 338 00:34:06,500 --> 00:34:11,600 takes off and he declares you righteous by his own grace 339 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:18,400 through faith in Christ. And so the righteousness belongs 340 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,800 to believers. It is the hairs because they 341 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:26,000 have hidden themselves in Christ by faith and his life and his 342 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,900 death and in his resurrection, all of that. 343 00:34:29,900 --> 00:34:33,100 For your salvation, you're saying, I'm trusting in the work 344 00:34:33,100 --> 00:34:38,199 of Jesus for salvation and so if you are in Christ, then you are 345 00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:44,900 declared righteous by God. What glorious transaction. 346 00:34:47,699 --> 00:34:51,400 The righteousness of God, is the righteousness of Christ, it's 347 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,699 the same righteousness, that is the righteousness, and the legal 348 00:34:54,699 --> 00:34:57,700 status, that belong to Christ, before the foundation of the 349 00:34:57,700 --> 00:35:00,300 Earth, the belong to him, as a result of living. 350 00:35:00,300 --> 00:35:05,400 As the one who knew no sin that righteousness is yours by faith 351 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:12,000 in Jesus, because of the cross on the cross, God, lays your sin 352 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,600 on him. So that he may take his 353 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:20,800 righteousness and put it on you. This is the Grace Phil 354 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,700 through-and-through doctrine of justification. 355 00:35:26,300 --> 00:35:29,000 God regards when I say justification this is what I 356 00:35:29,008 --> 00:35:32,000 mean. God, regards or counts Believers 357 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:37,800 as forgiven And God declares and treats them as forgiven. 358 00:35:39,900 --> 00:35:41,200 You understand what we're saying? 359 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,600 It's not just that he looks at you as such he treats you as 360 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:51,600 such There's perfect forgiveness in Christ. 361 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,200 It gets better because God the father has imputed the Believers 362 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,100 sin to Christ and because God the Father likewise in pews 363 00:35:59,100 --> 00:36:01,200 Christ's righteousness to the believer. 364 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:05,000 You now become a co-heir with Christ. 365 00:36:05,100 --> 00:36:10,200 The Bible says, the riches of heaven will soon be your own 366 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,300 riches.
