Jesus Paid It All

 

Introduction:

  1. As we approach the Lord’s Supper, we should have only one thought on our minds – Jesus paid it all.
  2. We are conceived and born into a state of condemnation, regardless of how pretty you think little babies appear.
  3. Our condition before the Judge of all the earth is aggravated guilt worthy of severe eternal condemnation.
  4. There is only one man standing between you and an awful eternity of torment and pain in the Lake of Fire.

JESUS

  1. “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who . . . “ (I Tim 2:5-6).
  2. “I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people” (Psalm 89:19).
  3. “. . . and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21).
  4. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name . . . whereby we must be saved” (Ac 4:12).
  5. “. . . when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high” (Heb 1:3).
  6. “For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one . . . ” (Romans 5:19).
  7. “Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood . . . obtained eternal redemption (Heb 9:12).
  8. “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who . . . offered himself without spot to God . . .” (Hebrews 9:14).
  9. There was no other participant in this great transaction – the LORD brought salvation by His own arm.
  10. Mary cannot help you, for she needs a Saviour as much as any and declared so to all men (Luke 1:46-47).
  11. Peter cannot help you, for had Jesus not prayed for him, Satan would have sifted him to hell (Luke 22:31-32).
  12. The Pope cannot help you, for he is dying like all other men from the consequences of his own sins.
  13. The preacher cannot help you, for he is only a messenger of the Lord bringing salvation to light (II Tim 1:10).
  14. Your parents nor your spouse cannot help as with other matters, for they shall perish in their own sins.
  15. No man “can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him” (Psalm 49:7).
  16. If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha (I Corinthians 16:22).

PAID

  1. Your sins were put away only with a great price being paid – the death of the testator (Hebrews 9:15).
  2. Jesus Christ of Nazareth became a servant of flesh and humbled Himself to the death of the cross (Phil 2:7-8).
  3. He fought the Devil and his angels and defeated them even while hanging guilty on the cross of Calvary.
  4. He suffered the greatest measure of guilt, shame, loneliness, and the wrath of God more than any man ever.
  5. He laid down His life willingly for His enemies – no man has ever paid any price like this (Romans 5:8).
  6. The cost, which was paid, required the Lord of Glory to bruise, punish, and forsake His only begotten Son.
  7. Your salvation is not free, for you are bought with a price (I Cor 6:20).
  8. Your salvation is not free, for it cost the precious blood of Christ (I Pet 1:19).
  9. You have nothing to pay. You could pay nothing. You are not asked to pay anything. Jesus paid it all.
  10. If you feel you are still paying, you are totally ignorant of the real payment exacted from Jesus Christ.

IT

  1. Sin is the transgression of the law (I John 3:4), but the law is the kind and perfect Word of the infinite God.
  2. Sin caused the Lord of heaven and earth to destroy His creation with a flood of water over all the earth.
  3. Sin caused the Lord of heaven to punish and forsake His only begotten Son in Whom He was well pleased.
  4. Sin will move the Lord to cast angels and men into eternal torment in the lake of fire forever and ever.
  5. Offences against a man are one thing, but we are speaking here of offences against a kind and holy God.
  6. Is there any man without sin? Is there any man without a million sins? And one sin is enough (James 2:10).

  4. All your sins from a knowledge perspective – PRESUMPTUOUS and IGNORANCE are both covered.

  6. By His one glorious sacrificial offering for sins forever hath perfected forever all of us (Heb 10:10,12,14).
  7. When He cried, “It is finished;” He was declaring the final payment for all your sins had been made.
  8. Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died!
