The Full Effect of What Jesus Did
We have to understand all that Jesus paid for. Many have accepted that Jesus
paid for the sins of the world, and I John 2:2 says “and He (Jesus) is the
propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole
world”. But let us examine Isaiah chapter 53 carefully to see the full effect of
what Jesus did. Isaiah 53:1-12 says “who has believed our report? And to whom
is the arm of the Lord Yahweh revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a
tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground. He has no form nor comeliness;
and when we shall see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is
despised and rejected of men; and a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief;
and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised and we esteemed Him
not. Surely He has borne our griefs (sickness), and carried our sorrows (pain);
yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was
wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the
chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes (wounds) we are
healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his
own way; and the Lord Yahweh has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was
oppressed, and H was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth, He is brought as a
lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He opens
not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment; and who shall
declare His generation? For He was cut off out of the land of the living; for the
transgression of My people was He stricken. And He made His grave with the
wicked, and with the rich in His death; because He had done no violence, neither
was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord Yahweh to bruise Him; He
has put Him to grief; when you shall make His soul an offering for sin, He shall
see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the Lord Yahweh
shall prosper in His hand. He shall see of the travail of His soul; and shall be
satisfied; by His knowledge shall My righteous servant justify many; for He shall
beer their iniquities. Therefore will I divide Him a portion with the great, and He
shall divide the spoil with the strong; because He has poured out His soul to
death; and He was numbered with the transgressors; and He bare the sin of
many, and made intercession for the transgressors”.
In verse 4 it says He has borne our griefs (the Hebrew says He has borne our
sickness) and carried our sorrows (the Hebrew says He has carried our away our
pain).
In verse 5 it says He was wounded for our transgressions (sins), He was bruised
for our iniquities. The chastisement (punishment) for our peace was upon Him;
Jesus said “come unto me and I will give you peace”; and with His stripes we are
healed.
In verse 10 it says it pleased the Lord Yahweh to bruise Him; He has put Him to
grief. It pleases the Lord Yahweh because Jesus completed all that was
necessary to restore mankind to his original state (II Corinthians 5:17-19)
“therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed
away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who has
reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of
reconciliation. To say that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself,
not imputing their trespasses to them; and has committed to us the word of
reconciliation”. Reconciliation is the process by which God and people are
brought together again. We have been reconciled back to our original state and
Adam was before the fall.
Some people would say that is Old Testament but Jesus affirmed in Matthew 8:17
which Jesus says “that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the
prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses”.
The apostle Peter also affirms it saying in (I Peter 2:21-25) “for even hereunto
were you called; because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that
you should follow His steps. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His
mouth. Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He
threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judges righteously. Who His
own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we being dead to sins,
should live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed. For you were
as sheep going astray; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your
souls”.
Let us look at Romans 5:8-17 which says “but God commends His love toward
us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being
now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if,
when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son,
much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only so, but
we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now
received the atonement. Wherefore, as by one man (Adams) sin entered into
the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have
sinned. For until the law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is
no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that
had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of
Him that was to come. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if
through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the
gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, has abounded to many. And
not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift; for the judgment was by one to
condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences to justification. For if by one
man’s (Adam) offence death reigned by one, much more they which receive
abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by One,
Jesus Christ”.
You hear many say that God is not fair, judging and condemning all men by the
sin of Adam. And if it had ended there it wouldn’t have been fair, but just as by
one man’s sin, all became sinners, God made it possible that by One Man’s
righteousness, all could become righteous again. Jesus paid the price to restore
us; not just for our sins but to reign in life. Remember that God gave dominion to
mankind, (Genesis 1:26) “and God said, let Us make man in Our image; after
Our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the
fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every
creeping thing that creeps upon the earth”. When Adam fell, he gave his
dominion over to the devil and the devil became the god of this world; but Jesus
defeated the devil and got our dominion back for us (Luke 10:17-19) “and the
seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject to us
through Your name. And He said to them, I beheld satan as lightning fall from
heaven. Behold, I give to you power to tread on serpents, and scorpions and
over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you”.
