StXUTION TWO—J Weekly Devotional! Column By James Mackenzie f As they returned from the Mount of Transfiguration, Jesus casually re vealed to Peter, James and John, that He would arise again from the dead. Like many today, they did not under stand what He meant. Also like many of us today, they failed to ask Him to explain it to them, but pooled their ig norance, and questioned “one with an other what the rising from the dead should mean” (Mark 9:9-10). What does the resurrection of Jesus Christ mean? First of all, it. is God’s declaration to a world dead in trespasses and sin that here is indeed His only begotten Son, with power to triumph over death and hell. Two men are called “The Son of God” in the Bible: Adam and Jesus (see Luke 3:38). But Adam forfeited his position when he sinned, and incurred the death penalty. Not only that, but the penalty for sin, eternal death, passed upon all men be cause of him (Romans 5:12). Jesus, on the other hand, as God come in the flesh, lived a sinless life, and was “declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of hoii-1 ness, by the resurrection from the ! dead (Romansl:!). What does this mean to you? It ' means that you too may have the as- | ‘ surance of eternal life, and be able I' to honestly call God your Father, if j, you will receive His Son, Jesus, as, your own personal Saviour: for “as | many as received Him. to them gave) He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12). This, in essence, is what takes place when a person is Born Again. When you receive Christ as your Saviour, the Holy Spir it places you into the body of Christ: because He died, you become dead unto sin; because He arose from the dead, you become alive unto God, you | are bom into the family of God, you! receive (at the moment you take Him as your Saviour) eternal life. This is what Jesus meant when He i said, “I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die” (John 11:25-26). That is what Paul meant when he said, “I; am crucified with Christ: neverthe- j less I liver yet not I, but Christ liveth ! in me: and the life which I now live j in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God. who loved me, and gave Himself for me” (Galations 2:20). •'Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old Things . are PONTIAC DELUXE $ 1.195 extra specials for this week || ’49 Ford, 2 dr.

Because He arose from the dead, “He ever liveth to make intercession for us”, Hebrews 7:25). He is our High Priest (Hebrews 9:11), our only Priest (He brews 7:23 - 8:5). As our Priest (a priest is one who makes sacrifices for sin, and intercedes with God), He made one sacrifice for our sins (He brews 9:25-28); a sacrifice that is all sufficient. This sacrifice having been made (and this wonderful Son of God was both Priest and Sacrifice), it is rank blasphemy to make a pretense of crucifying Him anew (Hebrews 10: 10-18). Also, as our living High Priest, He ever liveth to make inter cession for us (Hebrews V;24-28).
