All the Evil “Avon”due us came upon Jesus so that all of the good due Jesus came upon us.
Isaiah 53:1-12 (NASB)
1 Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.
3 He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
4 Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.
6 All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him.
7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He did not open His mouth; Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment He was taken away; And as for His generation, who considered That He was cut off out of the land of the living For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?
9 His grave was assigned with wicked men, Yet He was with a rich man in His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.
10 But the LORD was pleased To crush Him, putting Him to grief; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, And the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.
11 As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see it and be satisfied; By His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, As He will bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great, And He will divide the booty with the strong; Because He poured out Himself to death, And was numbered with the transgressors; Yet He Himself bore the sin of many, And interceded for the transgressors.
1 John 3:1-3 (NASB)
1 See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.
3 And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
1 Corinthians 15:45-47 (NASB)
45 So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.
47 The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven.
On the Cross Jesus was the last Adam, when He arose from the dead as the Second Man! The new Emanuel race! The firstborn of the dead, The resurrected head of the church! The guarantee of our resurrection also in Him as the Second Man. He died the last Adam, He arose as the Second Man, the God with us, God in us, Son of God!
Isaiah 1:5-6 (NASB) Jesus on the cross as the last Adam
5 Where will you be stricken again, As you continue in your rebellion? The whole head is sick And the whole heart is faint.
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head There is nothing sound in it, Only bruises, welts and raw wounds, Not pressed out or bandaged, Nor softened with oil.
Isaiah 52:13-14 (NASB)
13 Behold, My servant will prosper, He will be high and lifted up and greatly exalted.
14 Just as many were astonished at you, My people, So His appearance was marred more than any man And His form more than the sons of men.
Jesus on the cross as the last Adam bore our rebellion(Avon) and all of it’s evil consequences for us! He gave us eternal life and an Amazing Hope as the second Man upon His resurrection.

Jesus was wounded that we may be healed
Isaiah 53:4-6 (NASB)
4 Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.
6 All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him.

10 I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up, So the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise To spring up before all the nations.
“Saying that I am Justified is as say that I am just if I had never sinned because I have been made righteous with the Righteousness of God”
Holy Spirit conviction brings repentance and life not being made to feel guilty and condemned, the latter denies the work of the cross
Isaiah 54:17 (NASB) “You” will condemn
17 "No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me," declares the LORD.

1 Corinthians 15:45-47 (NASB)
45 So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

Nefesh is Hebrew for a Soul, a Life, a Person (Last Adam)
A Nefesh for a Nefesh
Deuteronomy 19:21 (NASB)
21 "Thus you shall not show pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Leviticus 17:11 (NASB) The Nefesh is in the blood
11 'For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement.’
Isaiah 53:12 (NASB) He poured out His Nefesh in His Blood
12 Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great, And He will divide the booty with the strong; Because He poured out Himself to death, And was numbered with the transgressors; Yet He Himself bore the sin of many, And interceded for the transgressors.
The very Life, Soul, of the Creator of all things was poured out for all of the Human race! That Blood was very Holy and Special! The very Life of God was in That Blood!
John 6:53-58 (NASB)
53 So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.
54 "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
55 "For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.
56 "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.
57 "As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me.
58 "This is the bread which came down out of heaven; not as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live forever.”
The Life (Nefesh), was from the Father in the Son and we can only partake of that Life through our access in Jesus the Son of God. We only have that Life if we have partaken of His Blood and His Body. Thus our faith at communion gives us this experience of partaking in the Lord’s super, not just only in remembrance but in the super itself.

Jesus became a curse that we may be Blessed with the Blessings of Abraham
Appropriating God’s work through the Cross begins with Thankfulness!
Galatians 3:13-14 (NASB)
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE"—
14 in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Genesis 24:1 (NASB)
1 Now Abraham was old, advanced in age; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in every way.
Galatians 3:1 (NASB) Bewitched and eyes dulled from the Truth of the Cross! Legalism
1 You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?
Legalism is trying to keep a set of rules!
Or adding any requirement for Righteousness that God has already provided in His word.
Romans 4:1-8 (NASB)
1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found?
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.
3 For what does the Scripture say? "ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."
4 Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due.
5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,
6 just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
7 "BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN, AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED.
8 "BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.”
Colossians 2:13-15 (NASB)
13 When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions,
14 having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
15 When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.
Galatians 3:10-11 (NASB)
10 For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO PERFORM THEM.”
11 Now that no one is justified by
the Law before God is evident; for, "THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”
Curses and Blessings are words; they may be written, spoken or merely thoughts directed inwardly. Words that are charged with supernatural power and can be generational until something is done about them. They continue for several generations this is a sign of a curse.

A dark shadow from the past, not necessarily from your lifetime, shuts off God’s sunshine of Blessings, or long evil arm stretched out from behind one, that pushes you out of the way or pulls you back.
Eight possible reasons or causes for curses
1. Idolatry, entire realm of the occult
2. False religion or secret society
3. Wrong attitude with your parents
4. Injustice to the weak and the helpless (abortion)
5. Anti-semitism
6. Self imposed curses, bad confessions
7. People with bad relational authority
8. Witch doctors etc.
Ephesians 6:11–12 (NASB95)
11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Psalm 118:16-21 (NASB) Profession of faith and deliverance from death
16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted; The right hand of the LORD does valiantly.

Jesus endure our rejection that we might have His acceptance
Appropriating God’s work through the Cross begins with Thankfulness!
Rejection is the sense of being unwanted or unloved, always on the outside not being able to get in.
Never having experienced love, one does not know how to love, God first loved us that we may love Him.
Rejection occurs today mostly because of the breakdown of the family relationships.
The Love of the father is probably the most important because of the feeling of security and safety. There are many broken homes and delinquent fathers.

7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace
8 which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight
9 He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him
10 with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him
11 also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will,
Healing emotional wounds was done by the same sacrifice and work that was made for our physical healings on and through the work of the Cross.
