Heb 9:15 "And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance."
Jesus came from Heaven. He is the Son of God. Heaven is filled with good things the Earth can never give. In Heaven, there is no sufferings and no poverty. Jesus is the owner of Heaven. Wherever He goes He brings heaven with Him. When He walked on earth, He brought healing to the sick, love, peace and joy to the poor in spirit.
Jesus says about Himself,
Matt 4:18 " The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD."
Matt 9:36 "But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd."
When Jesus walked on earth, He saw the inner needs of the people. He was filled with tremendous compassion for them. He knew although He raised one from the dead now, that person will die again. He knew although He healed one now, that person will fall sick again. There is no permanent solution when He walked on earth. The only permanent solution is when He dies.
Heb 9:16-18 "For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood."
When my mother died, all that she had now belongs to me because I'm her son. Therefore, when Jesus died, all that He has now belongs to you and I because He called us His family. When my mother died, the insurance money I received is enough to pay for all my debts to the bank. I do not have to work to pay up my debts. The money I earned from my work can now be used for my own enjoyment and blessing others.
The same thing, when Jesus died, what you owed to the Devil is paid in full. You are free. No longer it is required for you to do good works to attain salvation or eternal life. You are free to use your good works to bless others and serve Jesus out of willingless and not out of guilt. Your ministry becomes an enjoyment rather than something you have to do to please God or accumulate brownie points. Let the truth set you free from worthless religion.
Psalms 8:3-9
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
"Dear Jesus, thank you for the revelation of the real meaning behind your sacrifice. Thank you for making all that you have available to us by your death on the cross. Thank you for awesome love for us. Who are we that you are so mindful of us? A million thank yous... We love you too. Amen."
