THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS

“For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.”
2 Corinthians 5:21
Main Text: Main text: Luke 10:18-19

Satan is a defeated foe, and his defeat became sealed on the cross over 2000 years ago, scriptures say Jesus made a public show of principalities and powers triumphing over them (Colossians 2:15). our salvation was purchased at the cross. Without the shedding of Jesus’ blood on Calvary’s cross we would be forever lost. Our salvation is by faith in Him and Him alone. He was beaten and marred beyond any man and nailed to an old rugged cross bearing all our sins.

What Jesus did for us on the cross redeems us from the curse of the law and resulting judgment and from every curse of life in the fallen world we live in. Through the death of Christ, you gained absolute liberty in the Kingdom of God. Jesus bore your affliction and pain, He was injured, stripped, bruised just so you can walk in salvation and divine life. What happened on the Cross? Your prosperity happened on the Cross. The message of the Cross proffers you with enabling grace!

What is the message of the Cross? 1 John 3:8 “He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” The message of the Cross is simple, SATAN HAS BEEN DEFEATED!! This is what Jesus came to do! You are redeemed! Hallelujah!! Glory to God!!!

Confession:

I am blessed, I am redeemed, I am prosperous, I am a star! Jesus destroyed the works of the devil over my life; therefore, I am victorious, I have a sound health, I am prosperous!! I am blessed!
