The Sceptre of Righteousness

Part 2

 

At least 5 ways to view the ministry of Jesus

 

1. All Jesus did before he became a man as the WORD (LOGOS) OF GOD

2. All Jesus did on the earth as a Prophet and Messiah

3. All that he did in his death, burial, and ressurrection (Blood Sacrifice)

4. Intercession Ministry of Jesus as the mediator and High Priest

5. The rulership ministry of Jesus as Lord of lords, and King of kings.

 

w/o his Priestly Ministry,  none of this would have done you any good.

JESUS IS LORD  ...  JESUS IS LORD ... JESUS IS LORD

 

 

 

 

 

How did Jesus come into the earth?

And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.  --  Luke 1:28 (KJV)

 

And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.  --  Luke 1:29 (KJV)

 

And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.  --  Luke 1:30 (KJV)

 

And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.  --  Luke 1:31 (KJV)

 

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:  --  Luke 1:32 (KJV)

 

And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.  --  Luke 1:33 (KJV)

 

Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?  --  Luke 1:34 (KJV)

 

And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.  --  Luke 1:35 (KJV)

 

 

We are born again of the incorruptible seed!

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.  --  1 Pet 1:23 (KJV)

 

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.  --  2 Cor 5:17 (KJV)

 

Well how did you become the son or daughter  of god?

 

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.  --  Rom 10:5 (KJV)

 

But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)  --  Rom 10:6 (KJV)

 

Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)  --  Rom 10:7 (KJV)

 

But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;  --  Rom 10:8 (KJV)

 

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  --  Rom 10:9 (KJV)

For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.  --  Rom 10:11 (KJV)

 

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.  --  Rom 10:12 (KJV)

 

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.  --  Rom 10:13 (KJV)

 

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?  --  Rom 10:14 (KJV)

 

And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!  --  Rom 10:15 (KJV)

 

 

 

 

Est 7:9

And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.  --  Est 7:9 (KJV)

 

So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.  --  Est 7:10 (KJV)

 

On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews' enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.  --  Est 8:1 (KJV)

 

And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.  --  Est 8:2 (KJV)

And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.  --  Est 8:3 (KJV)

 

Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,  --  Est 8:4 (KJV)

 

And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king's provinces:  --  Est 8:5 (KJV)

 

For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?  --  Est 8:6 (KJV)

 

We are delivered from the law

Rom 7:6

But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.  --  Rom 7:6 (KJV)

 

What shall we say then? is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.  --  Rom 7:7 (KJV)

 

But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence.  (evpiqumi,a epithumia {ep-ee-thoo-mee'-ah})

[Meaning:  1] desire, craving, longing, desire for what is forbidden, lust]

 

For without the law sin was dead.  --  Rom 7:8 (KJV)

 

For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.  --  Rom 7:9 (KJV)

 

And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.  --  Rom 7:10 (KJV)

 

For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.  --  Rom 7:11 (KJV)

Est 8:7

Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.  --  Est 8:7 (KJV)
