The Impossible Exam

“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death. For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh; that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Romans‬ ‭8:1-4‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

There was once a teacher who punished his badly-behaved class of students by giving them an examination full of the world’s hardest questions spanning across all subjects and disciplines.

“Class, if any of you want to be dismissed from class, you must get full marks in this exam. If not, you will have to stay back for detention every day. To give you all an advantage, you may discuss the questions with your fellow classmates.”

Everyone in the class attempted the exam, but even the smartest students had many mistakes. It seemed impossible.

The classmates were all frantically flipping through all the textbooks in the classroom, but it was no use. The questions were just way out of their level.

Just when it seemed that all hope was lost, the teacher said, “Class, I see that you are all trying your very best to work together to do well on the exam. Tell you what—I cannot cancel the exam, but I will join your class as a student and attempt the exam with you. There is no rule against me joining as a student in your class.”

Since the teacher had set the exam based on the knowledge he had, he easily answered all the questions correctly. To whoever wanted to refer to his answers, the teacher allowed them to see and write the same answers.

The students were all overjoyed. One by one, they copied the answers, and handed in their exam papers, scoring full marks. They were finally able to go home. They had learnt their lesson, and decided to be more studious in the future.

——

God gave the children of Israel the Ten Commandments—an impossible exam for mankind. The Law is perfect, holy, and good, but it was weak through man’s sinful flesh.

Whoever wants to be justified through the Law must keep the Ten Commandments perfectly in both word and deed. Anything short of perfection is considered unrighteous. Everyone fails this exam.

Then, God revealed His master plan: Yahweh the Son became a man to take the impossible exam on our behalf.

He lived a sinless life for thirty-three and a half years, and offered up Himself as our atoning sacrifice for sins. The blood He shed at the cross and His death perfectly fulfilled the Law for everyone.

Whoever wants to refer to His answers can just take His answers as their own and get full marks on their exam. When we place our faith in Jesus as Lord, we share in Jesus’ death, resurrection, and become a new creation in Christ. We are finally eligible to go home to our Abba God in Heaven!

It takes humility for a person to admit that he is a sinner that has no hope of deserving salvation by his own works. God is so holy that even one sinful thought can make you unrighteous. Perfection is needed. The way to be saved is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as Lord!

Why Jesus was Really Crucified on Friday

“For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” (Matthew‬ ‭12:40‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Some people have been saying that Jesus was actually crucified on a Wednesday and not a Friday.
They say this to account for the full 24 hours of three days and three nights of Jesus’ burial which He prophesied Himself.

However, the “Wednesday crucifixion” teaching is wrong. Let’s look at Luke 24:

“One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?” He said to them, “What things?” They said to him, “The things concerning Jesus, the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people; and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.” (Luke‬ ‭24:18-21‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

On the Sunday (first day of the week) where Jesus resurrected, He spoke to Cleopas and the other disciple on the Road to Emmaus.

They said that that day (Sunday) was “the third day” since Jesus was crucified.

If Jesus was crucified on Wednesday, based on a 24 hour counting system, there would be a gap of more than three full days from Wednesday to Sunday.

How then can we account for the full three days and three nights of Jesus’ burial in the tomb?

In Jewish counting of days, a part of a day is considered as a whole day.

See the Book of Esther for an example.

Esther asked the Jews to fast for her for three days and three nights before she goes to see the king.

““Go, gather together all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day. I and my maidens will also fast the same way. Then I will go in to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish.” So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.” (Esther‬ ‭4:16-17‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The next chapter, we see Esther going to see the king on the third day, even though 3 full days and nights haven’t passed yet, and yet “the third day” is considered as a full 3 days and 3 nights.

“Now on the third day, Esther put on her royal clothing, and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, next to the king’s house. The king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, next to the entrance of the house.” (Esther‬ ‭5:1‬ ‭WEB)

According to the Jewish system of counting days, Jesus was buried for a full three days and three nights. The Jews count their days from evening to morning (Genesis 1:5).

Day 1: Buried on Nisan 14 (Friday) before the Sabbath day started at 6pm (Luke 23:50-56, John 19:42).

Day 2: Jesus in tomb on Nisan 15 (Friday evening and Saturday daytime).

Day 3: Jesus in tomb until He rose before the break of dawn on Nisan 16 (Saturday evening and Sunday morning).

In conclusion: Jesus was really crucified on Friday, buried in the tomb before 6pm on Friday evening and He resurrected on Sunday before the break of dawn.

Through His death, burial and resurrection, Jesus fulfilled the feasts/statutes of the Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the Sheaf Offering respectively.

#Jesus #Resurrection

Proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ

“For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh; that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Romans‬ ‭8:3-4‬ ‭WEB‬)

Is your conscience still shouting at you, saying that you have to pay for your sins? That’s called an evil conscience—one that doesn’t recognize that the blood Jesus shed at the cross has already perfectly paid for all our sins.

The passage above shows God’s Grace towards us. Because no mortal man can keep the Law perfectly, God the Father sent His Son Jesus to keep it perfectly on our behalf, even to the point of dying our death—since the wages of sin is death.

The sins of the world were all laid upon Jesus’ body at the cross and God condemned (punished) them by pouring out fiery wrath upon Jesus’ flesh.
Our sins have all been fully judged in the body of our sinless, perfect atoning sacrifice for sins.

By placing our faith in Jesus, we are accepting Him to be our sin offering—the perfect Lamb of God who takes away all our sins by one sacrifice for all-time.

Sin can only be forgiven when a death occurs. God’s justice demands it.
Sin came into the world by the disobedience of one man, so it must also be a man (a kinsman redeemer) who redeems mankind and the earth from the bondage of sin.

Since God didn’t want us to die for our sins, He sent Jesus to die in our place, and what a worthy death it was!
If you knew the value of Jesus, you will know that your sin debt is surely paid in full.

Through His own death, Jesus righteously redeemed us who believe in Him, as well as this earth, from the bondage of sin and death.

Now we are just waiting for the completion of the times so that we will see this redemption fulfilled during the Millennium and beyond.

We will be in our glorified bodies, immune to the ravages of sin and death, and Jesus will be ruling as King from Jerusalem, residing in the earth which He owns the title deed to.

If anyone tells you to keep the Law today, tell them that you already kept it perfectly through Jesus: you were sinful, so you offered up Jesus as your sin offering and His death paid your entire sin debt in full.

When you first placed your faith in Jesus as your Lord, you were also united in Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection so you are no longer under the Law.
Death has freed you from the obligations of the Old Covenant.

Now you are under the New Covenant of Grace which has been put into effect by Jesus’ shed blood.
You don’t need to obey the Law of Moses anymore.
As a child of God, you follow the royal law of love in complete freedom with no threat of judicial punishment.

These new laws which apply to you are: 1) Believe in Jesus Christ whom the Father has sent, 2) Love one another as Jesus has loved you.

These laws have been written in your spiritual heart by the Holy Spirit—embedded deeply in your reborn self. You don’t have to be taught to love—you want to love because you want to do what is pleasing to God.
That’s God’s seed (like a spiritual DNA) producing in you the desire and ability to do good works.

Servants follow the Law of Moses which demands them to abstain from sin.
Sons follow the leading of the Holy Spirit which produces the desire and ability to walk in love. This exceeds demands of the Law.

Servants obey and do to avoid punishment. Sons believe and speak to receive life and life more abundantly.

Can you see that you’ve entered a far better covenant? The benefits are all for you to enjoy whereas the price for these benefits to be possible was completely paid-for by Jesus.

This covenant is so flawless and beautiful because receiving the blessings has nothing to do with your obedience, but has everything to do with Jesus’ perfect obedience at the cross.

This means it’s full-proof. You can never lapse on this covenant and once you’re in it, there’s no way you can be removed from this covenantal relationship.

If it depended on you, your name would be blotted out from the Book of Life many times a day.
Thankfully because it depends solely upon Jesus, your name has always been in the book and will never be blotted out.
