IMPACT FXBG | JESUS Said - Luke 23:46

See, here's what we know. When we put things in God's hands, we are losing control, but we are gaining security. Do hear that? When we put things in God's hands, we are losing control of that thing, but we are gaining massive security because we know in whose hands they are in. And so this is what Jesus is doing. Jesus is saying, God, I'm putting my I'm entrusting. I'm putting my soul, not just my life. I'm putting my soul, my eternal destiny, my eternal life into your hands.

He gets rid of the separation because now there is therefore no condemnation, no separation for those who are in Christ Jesus. He paid the debt. He paid the penalty. He took the death we deserved. And now, anyone that trusts in Jesus is not in fear of the holiness of God. They are invited into the holiness of God. This is the best news we could ever receive. That now everything we think separates us from knowing God has been wiped out. It's gone. [01:10:58] (43 seconds)  #NoCondemnation

Not a single lamb, not a single dove, not a single ram, not a single animal that they sacrificed to sprinkle on the ark of the covenant was good enough for the priest to say, let's take the curtain down. So what's the first thing that happens when Jesus says, father, into your hands, I commit my spirit. He says, it is finished. Now, I am done. I am committing my spirit into your hands. What's the first thing God does? He gets rid of the curtain. [01:10:23] (35 seconds)  #CurtainTakenDown

So why make such a big deal of it? Why do this? Again, to keep us out, To keep us separated. Because there's no way we we are not spotless. It we are the ones that bring the sin to the table of salvation. That's what we show up to the potluck with. And here we are in danger of God's holiness because of our sin. So they put up a barrier, a curtain. This curtain separated us. Me and my sin, God and his holiness separated. Every year they come in to make forgiveness for their sins, still separated. Sacrifice after sacrifice, but none of them were good enough. [01:09:20] (63 seconds)  #BarrierOfSin

And guys, if we're being honest, this is the story of the cross. This is the story of why Jesus died, is that our sin isolated us, separated us from God. But we weren't made for that. We weren't built for that. Alone time? Sure. Isolation? No. Separation? No. And there was only one solution to get us back to God, and it was for a perfect, sinless, spotless life to be offered as a sacrifice. And the only one capable of doing that is Jesus.

He is the same savior today that has all the authority. And listen, those who are in Christ, the bible tells us, Jesus is going to use that authority to know when your life is laid down, and one day to resurrect your life. One day, not only will you be will your spirit be with God in heaven, but you will bodily resurrect and be given a new body. So this is amazing. This is this is really good news because we don't have a savior that we're guessing on. No guessing games with Jesus. He said it, he did it, and we can believe it.

Some people say, I don't know. I Brandon, I like Jesus, but I don't like the way he meddles in people's lives. Like, he's kinda meddling in my life, and I don't know. There's just some things that I need control over. And I'm going, you didn't hear it. You didn't hear it. No one takes it from me. I lay it down of my own accord. I have the authority to lay my life down, and I have the authority to pick it back up. Come on. I'm leaving it all to follow him. That's what I'm doing. And church, I wanna encourage you. Leave it all to follow him. [00:54:32] (39 seconds)  #LeaveItAllFollowJesus

And so isn't it interesting that there were I mean, think about what Jesus had just been through. There were lots of hands having their way with Jesus. The hands that put the crown of thorns on his brow, the hands that whipped him before going to the cross, the hands that shoved him on the ground while he was trying to carry the cross, the hands that drove the nails into his his wrists and his feet. Lots of hands had their way with Jesus, but there were only one set of hands that Jesus fully trusted, and those were the hands of God. [00:48:25] (36 seconds)  #TrustedByGodsHands
