On the Day of the Cross

Lift up the trumpet and lovely ring. Jesus is calming again. Cheer up Pils. Be joyful and Jesus is calming. Again, This is the voice of prophecy, a voice crying in the wilderness of these modern days. Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Call again, again, again. From our voice of Prophecy Studios in Los Angeles, California. We welcome you to this half hour of inspiration at Music with the King's Heralds, Dell Delker, Brad Braley and HMS Richards. A seventh day Adventist minister, the voice of prophecy speaker. The quartet's first presentation is a medley of three songs that express how the love of Jesus grows dear and sweeter to the Christian with the passing of each day, Every day with Jesus I love more. Jesus saves and me saves and he's the one I'm waiting for Day Jesus sweeter than before. Oh Jesus, love that it was lost in brought me back to His and mercy heavens shall sweeter as the By The By Father. Jesus is my no friend like Jesus, my soul. Jesus Our heavenly Father. Bless us, we pray in this broadcast as we bring to the minds of the people, the solemn events that took place on the day of the cross. Help us to exalt Jesus. Bring we pray peace to the hearts of all listeners in Christ's name, A place of Oh Jesus. Blessed redeemer sent from the heart of God hold us who bow before the near to the heart of God. Miss Del is answering many of your requests now as she sings. It took a miracle. My father is omni on God. Miracle it took miracle took to in space, but when he save soul, miracle grace, though here glory has been, we will not fully see miracle in place. It took a miracle to, but when Halls and Here now is h hm s Richards, the voice of prophecy speaker is subject on the day of the cross and that was a Day unlike any other day before, since it was a day of betrayal, a day of disappointment, a day of heartbreak. It was the day on which the sun was darkened at noon, a day on which the earth shook as though it trembled before the awful scene on Calvary. It was the day on which mankind, church and state rejected the son of God. The day on which he cried out in agony. My God, my God, why has th forsaken me? The day on which his own disciples for suki and fled, it was the day of Christ's atoning sacrifice for the world. It was the day on which man seemed to turn the face of hatred toward heaven and God turned the face of love toward the earth. It was the day of the cross. There have been and there are various theories of the atonement of Christ for men, but the one that is plain and true and simple so that we can all understand it is the statement of the great apostle Paul in one Corinthians 15, three, Christ died four our sins. According to the scriptures. We can all believe that Really we need no more than that. There have been many great teachers in the world, but only one savior thou shall call his name. Jesus said the angel, for he shall save his people from their sins. Matthew 1 21, since the wages of sin is death, as we read in Romans the sixth chapter, the only way to save sinners would be to die for them to take their wages. God could not save sinners as such for sinners. The transgression of the law we read in one John three, four, the penalty, four sin as pronounced by God himself is death. So the sinner must pay the penalty. He must die. I cannot forget the truism that the judge is condemned. When the guilty is acquitted, the only way for God to be just, and at the same time the justifi fire of the sinner is for that sinner to believe in Jesus as his substitute and for Jesus to take his place and be treated as he deserved, that the sinner might be treated as Jesus deserved. This is just what our savior did. He died in our place. It was Dr. Dale, the great English preacher who once said very beautifully about the work of Jesus. The real truth is that while he came to preach the gospel, his chief object in coming was that there might be a gospel to preach true. It is that it was our savior's death upon the cross that gives us a gospel, the good news of salvation and brings hope to the world. That's the great truth. And Jesus died voluntarily. Never forget that God did not force him to do it. Our savior said, and I'm reading John the 10th chapter, 17th verse beginning. Therefore death my father love me because I lay down my life that I might take it again. No man, take it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received to my father? We must not think of God. The Father is demanding the death of his son as a means of appeasing his own wrath and reconciling himself to us. Far from it. Such a conception of the atonement arises from a perverted idea of the character of God. Never forget that the love of Christ is the love of God. For God was in Christ said the apostle reconciling the world unto to himself. Two Corinthians five 19. God didn't need to be reconciled to us, but we needed to be reconciled to him. God suffered with his son. Yes, he suffered with him in Sem and on the cross there the heart of infinite love paid the price of our redemption for is written. Let us all repeat it together there in Radioland. Everyone join us. God soul loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. You see, we need to be reconciled to God, not God to us. For God has always loved us. There are those who assert that it's contrary to justice for one, to bear punishment to another. But we need to remember that God did not punish Christ for our sins. Punishment implies a moral responsibility, a personal guilt. Jesus was without sin. He was the sinless son of God. What then shall we say? Jesus voluntarily assumed the penalty for man's sin and met it, but not as a punishment. He freely took the liabilities of those who were bankrupt through sin. He satisfied those liabilities. He did not create them. We're told that the heirs of Jay Ogden Armour some time ago discharged about 18 million of personal liabilities of the the testator sacrificing their own private fortune to do it. Although there was no legal claim upon them, they did it merely for the protection of the good name of the family. No one could complain that there was injustice in the act. Since it was done voluntarily and not under pressure, the parties concerned were universally lauded for their willingness to carry a family burden. This is only a feeble illustration of what we're trying to make plain, but franzie does suggest the why difference between suffering and punishment do another and voluntarily paying the penalty involved in the conduct of another God is never unjust. We must remember that righteousness and judgment of the habitation of his throne. Those words in Psalm 97, verse two, the principle of solidarity, the representative idea is fundamental in the gospel of salvation. I mean by that, that all sin and Adam so all may be redeemed in Christ. It is plainly taught in two Corinthians five 14 that the love of Christ constrainted us because we thus judge that one died. For all that is in behalf of or instead of all therefore all died. The law convicts us all of sin and as worthy of the penalty of death, while we admit this, we can meet the demand by asserting that we have already paid the penalty. We have already died. How? In Christ our representative on the cross, Jesus finished his sacrificial work of redemption as my personal and dear friend, pastor Js Washburn so beautifully wrote in his song on the cross, God, for you gracious blood five and on I cross the cross. Nothing my save the cross, save the cross. And this my shall through time Jesus, his blood for me all Suppose now for just a moment that the 27th chapter of Matthew was a door and we open it and walk back into another day. The day of the cross, we come to a place called Calvary as a cross there, what do we see inscribed upon it? If we look through human eyes alone, we see the words written by Pilate words, which he refused to change. This is Jesus of Nazareth, the king of the Jews. But surely we see more there if we read a little more carefully read between the lines. What do we see? The wages of sin is death. These words are written in letters of blood. Here at the cross, God's condemnation of sin was written in terms that could be understood by every created being in the universe. The only way to save us was to die for us. Christ's enemies never said a truer thing than when they said he saved others himself. He cannot save. There's something else though that we read there. We read grace establishing the law, grace, mercy justification. We read there on the cross, God is love only because it's inscribed. Also the wages of sin is death, but we are still at the place called Calvary. We notice now there are three crosses there on the one that centers Jesus of Nazareth on either side of him a thief. The scripture says he was numbered with a transgressors. Is there any mark of distinction between them? Yes. One distinction. Jesus wears a crown, a crown of thorns. This was the final contemptuous fling of those who hated him. The wreath of thorns. Do we not read in the great book of God that thorns were the evidence of the curse in the beginning nature's own testimony to man sin and here on the cross, the crown of thorns declares that he who now is king of kings and Lord of lords bears the curse for us as we stand there on the heel and look at the cross and the fleeting light of that day. Long ago, we remember that calvary was foreshadowed from the very beginning of time. It was the blood of the lamb in ancient Egypt that brought protection to every home in Israel. It was the blood of the lamb in able sacrifice that found God's favor. There was the shed blood on the altars of the temple that pointed forward to the lamb of God, which taken away the sin of the world. There's a day coming when a man will find that the blood of Christ is the only badge of honor. So friends, you may wear the square and compass, you may wear the triple link, you may wear the woodman's acts. You may know every grip from the thumb to the fingers and the whole two hands. You may have every sign and symbol of every human organization, but none of these will answer in the coming day. God says, when I see the blood, I will pass over you. There was no therapeutic value in looking at the brazen image there in the desert. When the Israelites were bitten by the fiery serpents, it was an act of faith. The very symbol of the poisoned death became the agent of healing and life. And so Jesus Christ to nuno sin was made to be sin for us, identified with it and with sinners that he might take our place before the broken law of God and where to look to him in faith, find forgiveness, healing for the dis-ease of sin and life for death. Look unto me and be saved all the ends of the earth cry the prophet. It seems to me today that I can hear my mother's voice singing the words of the hymn. There's life in a look at the sacred cross. Jesus has said, look unto me, that's it. Look unto him, will you not friend just now, wherever you are, look and live. Will you not bow your head in your heart before Jesus crucified and say, Lord, I do believe help thou mine unbelief in Christ's name. And so we may share in the salvation proclaimed on the day of the cross, There's life in. Look at the sacred cross. Jesus has said, look onto me. Earth riches is only bright treasure through the cross. Salvation when raised my eyes sweet was the smile That fell on Me. Often as the clouds of temptation rise, look at the cross. Still my strength shall Be. There's life for salvation. This is Orva Iverson of the voice of prophecy with this encouraging word God is always near. So keep looking up, going forward in faith. Have faith in God when the day of the cross came. Have faith in God Christ. Bore our wool and our shame. Have faith in God life never again the same. Have faith, dear friend in God. We hope this broadcast has served to give you spiritual strength. And now we invite you to join us again next week. Same time, same stations for another broadcast brought to you by the voice of prophecy. And to all we say, the Lord bless the and keep the the Lord. Make his face shine up on the and be gracious unto the the Lord. Lift up his covenants upon the, and give the peace.
