PROPHETIC REALITIES OF THE CROSS
1
Corinthians 1: 18 (KJV)
The Cross of Jesus holds certain realities that are
prophetic in implication. These realities are those events that we saw happen
to him during the event of His death on the Cross. There is more to the death
of Jesus than what eye can see; every part of his body from which blood came
out holds a form of redemption for man. Paul lets us know that without shedding
of blood there is no remission.
Jesus’ death on the Cross is for the benefit of man
and this benefit can only be appropriated through our focused gaze on his body
on the Cross through the eyes of our mind as the Word of God is taught with
respect to these realities.
The Children of Israel had a similar experience
with gazing at a structure for their redemption: this is in the account the
fiery serpent that God sent amidst them because of their murmurings against
him. Moses was commanded of God to set up a serpent that would serve as a cure
for the poison from the bite of the serpent once it is looked upon by those
that have been bitten by it.
Jesus related his death to the lifting of the
serpent stating that he would be lifted up in same manner. We can propose that
the same reality of gazing at the serpent for redemption holds true concerning
the body of Jesus, as anyone who dares to look at Jesus on the Cross will be
set free from the poison of the Old serpent called Satan.
There are several bleeding points on Jesus’ body – as
it hung on the cross – that are worthy of consideration. These points have
spiritual implications that have liberated mankind from the effects of the Fall
of Adam and that can liberate anyone who is still held bond by these effects in
his mind. These points are:
1.
Bleeding Back
2.
Bleeding Head
3.
Bleeding Hands
4.
Bleeding Legs
5.
Bleeding Side
We will consider them in details in the succeeding
articles. Bear in mind that looking unto Jesus through the act of believing on
him will deliver to us the blessedness of life that will long so much for.
