1 Peter 1:18-19

Scripture Reading: Philippians 2:8-10 “And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross! Therefore, God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,” (NIV)

1 Peter 1:18-19—Without blemish and without spot

Redeemed—

A lamb without blemish and without spot—

A humble King—

Fully as man—

          Hebrews 4:15—A High Priest who understands.

Isaiah 53:7—He was a willing sacrifice.

          Matthew 26:62-63—Before Caiaphas

          Matthew 27:12-14—Before Pilate

          Luke 23:9—Before King Herod Antipas

Matthew 26:53—More than 70,000 angels at His disposal.

Our sin creates a need for a Savior. Our sin creates a barrier between us and God. Jesus is our Savior. Jesus takes away our sin. Jesus restores our relationship with God by removing the barrier of sin.

The plan was for Jesus to become the acceptable, perfect, without blemish, without spot, once and for all sacrifice for our sin.

John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
