“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. John 3:16-17.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
There is only one reason for creation, redemption, justification, and glorification – love. My love for you. And that is why I made everything and that is why I saved everything. My love for you.
The LORD appeared to me from afar, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness.” Jeremiah 31:3.
And that is the reason I came down in Jesus to reconcile you back to Myself no matter what the cost. I sent Him to seek out and save the lost, not just to be their comfort, but to take their place so that they would not be lost forever. He came to take your condemnation, guilt, and shame. He came to make you blameless. He came to redeem you by paying for the eternal life you lost with His eternal blood, He came to make you righteous, He came to make you holy, He came to make you anew in My image and according to My likeness. He came to make you anew of love. Pure precious beautiful holy love. He came to make you again just like Me. Love.
And in Him you see My love for you manifest in action. Love is not passive, it is on rescue mission for the beloved, leaving its own interests behind.
Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:1-10.
How do you know My gift of you of redemption and so much more in Jesus is from My pure and unconditional love for you? I tell you. The whole reason is summed up that I so loved the world that I gave My only begotten Son so that if you believe in Him you have eternal life. I did not send Him to condemn but to save. And He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. And so am I, constant, consistent, never failing, never ending love.
Jesus comes into your life and knocks at the door of your heart: to save you but above all to love you and make you whole. To draw you with human cords and bands of love into My very heart of love. And He baptizes you in the Holy Spirit and by the gift of My Holy Spirit I pour My Love into your heart. And if you will open your heart your life will become a love song, a love story to the praise of My glory (My goodness, presence, and power shining in your life).
Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. Revelation 3:19-21.
Why did He go to all the pain and shame of releasing you from your sins by His blood? He loves you just as I do. He is the radiance of My glory and the exact representation of My nature and upholds all things by the Word of His power. When He had made purification of your sins, He sat down at My right hand on high, and I seated you there with Him. Hebrews 1:2-3; Ephesians 2:6.
To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood— and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. Revelation 1:5-6.
And My Will prospered in His hands.
I would like to share with you the prophetic vision I gave to Isaiah, for I revealed the glory of Jesus to Him.
These things Isaiah said because he saw His glory, and he spoke of Him. John 12:41.
And in this amazing vision and the chapters that proceed and follow it directly I tell you exactly why Jesus came and what He did for you and for Me. For My delight is to have you with Me in love.
Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? Isaiah 53:1.
I often refer to Jesus as My outstretched arm that reached down to save you, referring to His humanity and divinity. My arm of flesh that I have bared before the nations showing My Salvation (Yeshuah) to the ends of the earth. Isaiah 52:10.
And what did I tell the Israelites about their redemption out of the slavery of Egypt?
Say, therefore, to the sons of Israel, ‘I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage. I will also redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. Exodus 6:6.
And when I looked for a savior, an intercession, among the descendants of Adam there was no one with an eternal life to offer in payment for the eternal life you all lost in Adam for all have since been born from his line of perishable seed. You see, when Adam submitted himself to the corruptible seed of the devil’s lies over the incorruptible seed of the truth of My Word he was born again from life to death, from light to darkness, and the curse came into the earth through him. And there was no way out of the sentence of death, for the wages of sin is death, except that one with an eternal life in the flesh, as Adam had at creation from My Word, would pay for the eternal life Adam had murdered for himself and all his descendants. A life for a life is justice. The devil has been a murderer from the beginning and the father of all lies. That is why he lost his place in Heaven and in Eden as the covering cherub.
So what did I do? I came down Myself in Christ, and My Word again took flesh as it had when I created the first Adam and did My Will. I sent My Word to heal you and deliver you from all your destructions.
And He saw that there was no man, and was astonished that there was no one to intercede; Then His own arm brought salvation to Him, And His righteousness upheld Him. Isaiah 59:16.
It was I who sought to save you. Man knew something was wrong with all the evil and the death but without revelation of My Word and My Spirit he was not aware of the condition of his spirit—that though physically alive, his spirit was dead to Me and alive to sin. But by the revelation of My Word and the lamb of sacrifice with the inspiration of My Spirit on My people and My prophets I revealed to man, even under the Old Covenant, that the problem was sin and the answer was My Word and the blood of the unblemished lamb. And you see it in the plan of the tabernacle that I gave to Moses and the burnt offering, grain offering, peace offering, sin offering, and guilt offering. And every day the morning offering was the unblemished lamb, the hin of wine, and the unleavened bread, and the evening offering was the same. And whenever My people stopped reading My Word and sacrificing the lamb everything turned dark and went wrong
But love rescues you out of the kingdom of darkness and translates you into the Kingdom of My beloved Son, the Kingdom of Love. I am love so My Commandments are love commands. They are wonderful opportunities to know love and abide in love. My Commandments are freedom from the oppression of evil and darkness.
People pursue knowing great men and famous people. They covet it and love to “name drop” to others. I give you the opportunity by giving you life to know Me, the one who made all, sustains all, and loves all. The one in whom there is no malice or “hidden agendas” to take advantage of others. I have the advantage already and am above all. I am the only one who is here for you and not Myself. I have no other motive than love. I invite you to cast your care on Me and live your life in and through Me.
When you know Me and My Son, which is eternal life, John 17:3, you see more and more that you do not need to do anything on your own. That in Christ all has been done for you already but in Him I account it to you. You have the victory He won. You just need to enforce it.
O LORD, You will establish peace for us. For all that we have accomplished, You have done for us. Isaiah 26:12.
And let us return to the 53rd chapter of Isaiah:
For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty that we should look upon Him, nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. He was despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Isaiah 53:2-3.
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus took all your sins onto His own flesh and it was so hideous to Him He sweat blood and asked if the cup could pass Him by to let it do so. But it was not possible so He drained it to the very dregs and it took all the majesty and beauty, for He was fairer than all the sons of men (perfect love makes you beautiful, I beautify the afflicted ones with Salvation, that is, with Yeshuah, and to do this He took on your afflictions and gave you His beauty, Psalm 149:4), out of Him. Sin is a horrible thing, it makes you ugly though I made you beautiful. It mars you.
So His appearance was marred more than any man, and His form more than the sons of men. Isaiah 52:14.
Just watching outwardly His sufferings and death, no one knew the battle that was being fought and won for you over sin and death in the spiritual realm. Sin and the power of darkness closed in on Jesus so that you will never again have to go there. You have already gone in Him and you will never have to go again for justice was satisfied for you on and in Him by substitution. If someone tells you that you need to suffer for your sins when you have repented and confessed them to Me answer them you do not since you already did in Jesus. He took care of that for you and I accepted it as if you had done it. But because you did not have an eternal life to offer you could not have done it on your own, you can do nothing without Him, but with Him and through Him and in Him I account it to you. When people offer themselves to Me to suffer for another I know they do not understand that you did that already in Jesus and He did it ONCE FOR ALL.
Surely our sickness and griefs He Himself bore, and our pains and sorrows He carried. Isaiah 53:4.
That should make you jump with joy for what love has done for you in Jesus. Sickness, grief, pain, and sorrow are all of the curse and of the devil. They are the result from sin but when Jesus took your sins on Himself and also took the by products of sin. He bore and carried off your sickness, your grief, your pain, and your sorrow and you never have to accept these things again. Submit to what I have done for you in Christ, resist the devil (answer these things with the truth of My Word and cast them out in Jesus’ Name), and he must flee from you.
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being (wholeness, shalom) fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed. Isaiah 53:4-5.
And here is the heart of love. Though He had never sinned or stepped out of My perfect law of love, because of His great love for you and Me, He took all that was evil and dark in you and was punished in your place—He was pierced, scourged, and crushed. He took the punishment and released you. And I accepted it as if you had paid the price that He paid on your behalf. That is love laying down His life for His friends. For you who love Him are His friends, for if you love Him you obey His love commands.
He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me. John 14:21-24.
You had wandered away from Me, were like sheep without a shepherd other than death and the netherworld, but I sent you the great good Shepherd who cared so much about you that He laid down His life for the sheep.
All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him. Isaiah 53:6.
In My great love I called you back to Me from where you’d gone astray. And though you dwelt in darkness I rescued you into My Kingdom of light and love by causing all your iniquity to fall on Him.
He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth; like a lamb that is led to slaughter, and like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, so He did not open His mouth. Isaiah 53:7.
For the joy that lay before Him of saving you to be with us forever in the beauty of fellowship He despised the pain, the shame, and the blame, He did not justify Himself as the pure one, He became as one of you and accepted the shame and pain in your place that should have fallen on you from a perspective of pure justice. But Mine is singular justice, as David called it, it singled out One perfect sacrifice and let all the wrath due to your sins fall on Him so that now you are free indeed!
By oppression and judgment He was taken away; and as for His generation, who considered that He was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due? Isaiah 53:8.
No one present that day at the crucifixion was aware of the greatness of the sacrifice that was taking place and the blessings it was releasing upon you. Jesus is meek and humble of heart in Him your burden is light and the yoke easy, for Himself already bore the heavy part.
His grave was assigned with wicked men, yet He was with a rich man in His death, because He had done no violence, nor was there any deceit in His mouth. Isaiah 53:9.
And here is prophecy that was fulfilled to the exact detail by My Son. He took all your sins onto Himself and was counted among the wicked, but He was with Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy man, in His death, and in whose new tomb Jesus was buried. But He did not stay there.
But the LORD was pleased to crush Him, putting Him to grief and sickness. Isaiah 53:10.
It pleased Me and My Son to reconcile you to Myself and free you from all your sins, offenses, grief and sickness in Him. He took them all so that you will not have to have them. You already had them in Him and now you are free.
If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His seed, He will prolong His days, and the good Will of the LORD will prosper in His hand. Isaiah 53:10.
He came to do My Will, peace on earth good Will towards men, and My Will of redeeming the lost and setting you free from the oppression of the devil prospered in His hand. He fulfilled the guilt offering of the Tabernacle of Moses. He took your guilt away and by the blood of His Cross made peace between us and gave you a whole new life, free of guilt, shame, and blame. It is no longer your fault but His. And He and I took care of it.
As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see it and be satisfied; by His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, as He will bear their iniquities. Isaiah 53:11.
And here it is reaffirmed for you again. I am the LORD YOUR righteousness. I made Him, Jesus, who knew no sin to be sin on your behalf so that in Him you become righteous with My own righteousness. The divine exchange of which the burnt offering, the peace offering, the sin offering and the guilt offering foreshadowed, all fulfilled on the cross of Christ. You are justified.
Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great, and He will divide the booty with the strong; because He poured out Himself to death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet He Himself bore the sin of many, and interceded for the transgressors. Isaiah 53:12.
And here again is love, He won all and then gave you all the booty of battle as your own. He won the victory and then gave it to you. You are loved, forgiven, blessed and favored by legal right. For He was poured out to death and took your place with the transgressors, yet it was your sins He bore and your pains He carried away. And all the time He was interceding for you, and still does, for He ever lives to make intercession for you for His blood is eternal and it still atones and pleads for you the Mercy Seat in Heaven.
I have much more to reveal to you about My love for you and what I have done for you, with you, and in you, in Christ so that you do not waste your years in trying to do for Me and others what I have already done for you in Christ Jesus your Lord. It is all done, all you have to do is know you did it already with Him. I am well pleased.
I love you. Have you come to know and believe in the love I have for you? If you have, you will always walk in love as well for when you understand love, that is, divine love, you too become love.
