The Majesty of Heroic Jesus
Unlike satanic Catholicism, we know that: JESUS WAS NEVER A VICTIM. He volunteered in love for Father God to bring HUMANITY back to the Father, through Himself (his blood, his righteous life, etc.). Jesus became the object that Father God POURED OUT ALL ALL ALL of His wrath against Sin on.
Jesus became sin (II Corinthians 5:21), then died AS sin… so that sin’s power is now KILLED and destroyed. Its power to keep you separated from God is destroyed — meaning that you can now FREELY come to Father God THROUGH the total work- His crucifixion/esurrection/ascension. Jesus was the sacrificial Lamb of God, slain BEFORE the foundation of the world. (Revelation 13:8; Isaiah 53:7; John 1:29) Jesus died FOR us and AS us.
Yes the pain was horrific, BUT as the Bible is clear: “Jesus DISREGARDED the shame of the crucifixion” (Hebrews 12:2), being NAKED and tortured and mocked physically by the sinners, he DISREGARDED It. Instead of focusing on the momentary situation of the torture/mockery/abuse/crucifixion, Jesus FOCUSED on what He ALWAYS focused on — pleasing and obeying His father.
Jesus was not shame-focused. He had no victim consciousness. He did all that He did for us and as us, that to BRING US TO GOD.
1 Peter 3:18 “For Christ also suffered for sins ONCE FOR ALL, the righteous for the unrighteous, TO BRING YOU TO GOD. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit…”
referring to the religious image in the post, @Truth_matters20 tweets:
“This is exactly the kind of pagan, macabre image of Jesus that offends God that religions like Catholicism use. This is extremely irreverent and offensive. God is NOT to be portrayed in this sense. This is satanic mockery.”
At the risk of stating the obvious: the implications here are profound for the Gospel of Jesus is indeed GOOD NEWS. The result of you FULLY IDENTIFYING WITH JESUS, is that you too will get mocked, abused, and persecuted. But this is merely physical and temporary in this life.
You too are an OVERCOMER, never along and never a victim. You too are alive with the power of an INDESTRUCTIBLE LIFE, and you too are raised up and seated WITH CHRIST in Heaven as the most powerful and blessed position of all.
Catholics express satan’s desire to KEEP Jesus on the cross, helpless and tortured when the reality is the opposite. They seek to re-crucify Jesus, every week in their Mass re-enactment. But a “VICTIM JESUS” is the opposite of the real Jesus.
Hebrews 7:16
Jesus the Messiah, “who has become a priest, not on the basis of a physical and legal requirement in the Law [concerning his ancestry as a descendant of Levi], but on the basis of the power of an indestructible and endless life.”
Believers and followers of Christ don’t trust any human religious systems, instead believers IDENTIFY FULLY WITH JESUS. We embrace all of Jesus as exactly who He said and also demonstrated Himself to be! We are overcomners IN HIM. We overcome the trap of fake spirituality — aka every religion. We overcome victimization. We overcome the world and the flesh and the devil. We are IN Christ Jesus, Son of God and Messiah TO mankind.
