JESUS CHRIST
CAME TO EARTH HE WAS CRUCIFIED, BURRIED, THEN GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD
“Then Joseph, her husband,
being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to
put her away privily.
But while he thought on
these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream,
saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife:
for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou
shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.”
Matthew 1:18-21
“And she brought forth her
firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger;
because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds
abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon
them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore
afraid.
And the angel said unto
them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall
be to all people for unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign
unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a
manger. And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth
peace, good will toward men.” Luke 2:7-14
“And when JESUS was twelve
years old; His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the
passover. And when he was twelve years
old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. And when they had
fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in
Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. But they, supposing him to have been in the
company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and
acquaintance. And when they found him
not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. And it came to pass, that after three days
they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing
them, and asking them questions.
And all that heard him
were astonished at his understanding and answers. And when they saw him, they were amazed: and
his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy
father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I
must be about my Father's business? And
they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. And he went down with them, and came to
Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in
her heart. And Jesus increased in
wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.” Luke 2:41-52
And when He was about
thirty years old, John the Baptist introduced Him to Israel. John wrote: “The next day John seeth Jesus
coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin
of the world.” John 1:29
Matthew reported on His
baptizing.
He wrote: “Then cometh
Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to
be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it
to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he
suffered him. And Jesus, when he was
baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were
opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and
lighting upon him: And lo a voice from
heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:13-17
After He was baptized,
Matthew continued: “Then was Jesus led
up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty
nights, he was afterward an hungred. And
when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that
these stones be made bread. But he
answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by
every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:1-4
Yea, after being in the
wilderness forty days and nights with the Devil and Satan, we are fully and
altogether persuaded that the SON of GOD, JESUS CHRIST was the winner.
“And when JESUS came to
Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into
the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. And there was delivered unto him the book of
the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where
it was written,
The Spirit of the Lord is
upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath
sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to
preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to
set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the
Lord. And he closed the book, and he
gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were
in the synagogue were fastened on him. And
he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. And all bare him witness, and wondered at
the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this
Joseph's son?”
Luke 4:16-22
“And it came to pass also
on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there
was a man whose right hand was withered.
And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the
sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him. But he knew their thoughts, and said to the
man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he
arose and stood forth. Then said Jesus
unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do
good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? And looking round about upon them all, he
said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was
restored whole as the other. And they
were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to
Jesus. And it came to pass in those
days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in
prayer to God.”
Luke 6:6-12
Mark said of another
gathering:
“Then came together unto
him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem. And they bring unto him one that was deaf,
and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon
him. And he took him aside from the
multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his
tongue; And looking up to heaven, he
sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. And straightway his ears were opened, and
the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. And he charged them that they should tell no
man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published
it; And were beyond measure astonished,
saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the
dumb to speak.” Mark 7:32-37 “And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate. And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it. And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing. And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee. But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled. Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired. And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them. But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
For he knew that the chief
priests had delivered him for envy. But
the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto
them. And Pilate answered and said again unto them, what will ye then that I
shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? And they cried out again, Crucify him. Then
Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more
exceedingly, Crucify him.” Mark 15:1-14
“And so Pilate, willing to
content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he
had scourged him, to be crucified. And
the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call
together the whole band. And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown
of thorns, and put it about his head, And began to salute him, Hail, King of
the Jews! And they smote him on the
head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his
own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him. And they compel one Simon a
Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and
Rufus, to bear his cross. And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is,
being interpreted, The place of a skull.” Mark 15:15-22
Sadly to say, His
persecutors were carrying out the prophecy where Moses said: "For I know
that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the
way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days;
because ye will do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger
through the work of your hands."
Deuteronomy 31:29
“And they gave him to
drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
And when they had
crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man
should take. And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. And the
superscription of his accusation was written over, King of the Jews.
And with him they crucify
two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. And the
scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the
transgressors.
And they that passed by
railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the
temple, and buildest it in three days, Save thyself, and come down from the
cross.
Likewise also the chief
priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others;
himself he cannot save.
Let Christ the King of
Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that
were crucified with him reviled him.
And when the sixth hour
was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
And at the ninth hour
Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is,
being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
And some of them that
stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
And one ran and filled a
spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying,
Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down. And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave
up the ghost.
And the veil of the temple
was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
And when the centurion,
which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost,
he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
There were also women
looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of
James the less and of Joses, and Salome; (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed
him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto
Jerusalem.
And now when the even was
come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, Joseph
of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of
God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus
And Pilate marvelled if he
were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he
had been any while dead.
And when he knew it of the
centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
And he bought fine linen,
and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepuchre
which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the
sepulchre.
And Mary Magdalene and
Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.” Mark 15:23-47
“And when the sabbath was
past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought
sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. And very early in the morning the first day
of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
And they said among
themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the
sepulchre? And when they looked, they
saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a
young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they
were affrighted. And he saith unto
them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is
risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter
that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto
you.
And they went out quickly,
and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said
they any thing to any man; for they were afraid. Now when Jesus was risen early the first day
of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven
devils.
And she went and told them
that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. And they, when they had heard that he was
alive, and had been seen of her, believed not. After that he appeared in another form unto
two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
And they went and told it
unto the residue: neither believed they them.
Afterward he appeared unto
the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and
hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he
was risen. And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the
gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:1-15
Now when JESUS gave up the
Ghost, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. And the centurion, which stood over against
him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man
was the Son of God.
Then the promised wrath
from Almighty God came upon Israel.
Amen!!
