In this episode Larry and James discuss what God is showing us regarding the presence of Christ IN the nations! We begin by talking about how Jesus died our death and delivered us from its grasp, having made us alive in Himself!!
If he died, then all were dead. All were dead. Yeah. All died. But he gives life to dead things. He did. Yeah. Because he went straight into our death and brought us back out of it.
He led captivity captive. He did. He did. Were you captive? He has the keys to death and hell. We all were.
Yeah, in Adam. In Adam.
Come on somebody. All were getting to the heart of it now.
But now we've all been made alive in Christ.
Now we're getting to the heart of it.
See Jesus came and he looked at people in light of his finished work. He looked at people through the lens of the original blueprint of God. He didn't see them as we saw them and judged them. He saw them as lost sons and daughters and he was on a mission to bring them home to the Father. He did it.
He knew every person had value and worth. He knew every person was made in the image of his Father. He knew we were lost in darkness and our blindness and held captive.
But everything that we struggled with and everything that was against us, he came as a man, walked straight into it and faced it and conquered it, dealt with it in every shape, form or fashion.
In relation to his Father. In relation to his Father.
And pulled it off the table and said, now you're mine, you're in me and I'm making all things new and it starts today!!
"But God who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, has made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and has raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus."
-Ephesians 2:4-6 NKJV
