This is what my Redeemer said in the Greek language of the day.
4. περὶ δὲ τὴν ἐνάτην ὥραν [a]ἀνεβόησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς φωνῇ μεγάλῃ λέγων· [b]Ἠλὶ ἠλὶ λεμὰ σαβαχθάνι; τοῦτ' ἔστιν· Θεέ μου θεέ μου, ἱνατί με ἐγκατέλιπες;
ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΝ 27:46
"Eli, Eli lema sabachthani," "My God, my God, why have your forsaken me."
Matthew 27:46
This makes me realize:
- My Redeemer was forsaken by His Father in my Place. When people ask me, "who killed Jesus?" I will tell them it wasn't Rome! It wasn't the Jews! It was me! My shortcomings and character flaws know as sins and transgressions put Him on that Cross.
- This Attitude makes me grateful because he took my place and the rest of mankind's place when He forsook Himself by rejecting Himself.
- With My Redeemer on the Cross I realize He is 3 Distinct Centers of Consciousness working together as One or 1x1x1=1. This is Amazing and I don't understand it but this is repeated throughout the Ancient Scrolls.
- My Redeemer said His Father and Him are One! My Redeemer said that He will raise Himself from the grave in three days. Later in the Scrolls He said through His bond servant Paul that God the Spirit raised My Redeemer from the dead. Then I remembered in Genesis 1:26 of His Ancient Scrolls that He said the following:
"Then God said, "Let us make mankind in Our image, in our likeness..."
I thought, "who was God talking to? It couldn't be the Angels because they are not made in the image of God. Angels are His messengers."
Then a Hebrew Scholar read this to me in the original Hebrew out of the Ancient Scrolls founded in 1947-48 in Bedouin Caves in Qumran. This is the actual text from Moses.
כו. וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים נַעֲשֶׂה אָדָם בְּצַלְמֵנוּ כִּדְמוּתֵנוּ וְיִרְדּוּ בִדְגַת הַיָּם וּבְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם וּבַבְּהֵמָה וּבְכָל הָאָרֶץ וּבְכָל הָרֶמֶשׂ הָרֹמֵשׂ עַל הָאָרֶץ:
In the original Hebrew the word for Us and Our refers to a plural but compound unity. Not 1+1+1=3 but 1x1x1=1.
I still didn't fully comprehend it but then again I also can't comprehend the Love and Passion my Redeemer has for me in that He would lower Himself to His Creation to take my place on a Roman Cross. He did this knowing that the only way to make everything Right in His Creation was for Him to come here with His perfect sinless life and become the innocent lamb sacrificed on Passover for my life. He took my place knowing I would never do it on my own.
He knew the enemy has a Wide Road of Promises trying to deceive me daily from my Redeemer's Narrow Road that few will find.
- My Redeemer also told me He did this only if the agreement was to give all a free choice in the matter. He didn't want robots. When someone joins His Team He wants the cost of their decision to be well thought out before joining His team.
"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise." Psalm 51:17
He doesn't want anyone taking granted what He did and what the Cross means to the Creation of the Universe but especially for Mankind which is His most Prized Creation.
- Now I realize there is a cost involved in every decision I make especially when it comes to the Leadership of my life. For I know this allegiance will be passed on to many generations to come and has great repercussions.
- He told me many times both in the Ancient Scrolls and through His Spirit whispering to me, "for the Joy that was before Him He endured this Cross!"
- I asked Him what that Joy was that He was referring to?
He told me that the Joy was His deep love and pleasure He has for mankind. He told me it was a cost He was willing to endure with all of the Pain and Rejection. He told me if He didn't do it He could never connect with the billions of souls He fashioned past present and future as He wrote about in Psalm 139.
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb." Psalm 139:13
My Redeemer told me that He gave His perfect life for my life so I could be with Him in the the mansion He is Fashioning for me in His Father's House.
- I Must Follow my Redeemer and no one else because He is the only one selfless enough to die in my place paying the price for my sins and shortcomings.
- I Must pass on this Good News before the sun goes down.
