Mark 10: 32-45

(Mark 10: 32-45) And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him, Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again. And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire. And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?  They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared. And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John. But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.  But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:  And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.  For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

 

Even though Jesus said He was crucified and lived in three days, the disciples were arguing, "Who is the best?" The disciples did not know the meaning of the cup Jesus would drink. The purpose of the Son of Man was to give as a ransom for many. A ransom means redemption. Redemption is the concept of paying and buying a slave. God buys those under Satan's control at the blood of Jesus.

『Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 』 (Romans 3: 25-26) Applying these words to the ransomed. It applies to those who are in Christ Jesus. The price of sin is death. God makes his son die and justifies the believer.

God allowed Satan to rule the world. Luke 4: 5-7 tells us that. Jesus speaks before Pontius Pilate, "My kingdom is not this world." God created the world, which he rented to Satan for some time. All human beings in Satan's world are servants of Satan. Satan controls this world. But God pays Satan for those who repent and return, and buys servants from Satan. Its price is the blood shed on the cross of Jesus Christ. The end of Satan's rights in this world is the time of Jesus' second coming. Satan will then be put in prison

Salvation means that God makes sinners his children. God buys servants from Satan and makes them His children. To do this, he had to sacrifice his son. This work was done on the cross. This is the manifestation of God's righteousness. God does not forgive sinners. The sinner must die. This is God's righteousness. So Hananmi's son died in exchange for the sinner. So those who are in Christ are saved. No one is justified. Only those who repent and wear the new man are justified by faith. In the New Testament epistles, Paul is writing to those who repent and wear new clothes. The Bible explains what it is like to be righteous. Rather than explaining to those who do not know what it is to be born again at the beginning of the Church, he is explaining and explaining what God's righteousness is to the born again. God buys those who repent and return. This is redemption.

God paid the price, so that sinners also repent and return to the kingdom of God. Thus, those who repent by God's grace gain free righteousness. The price the sinner has to pay for repentance is to take off the clothes of the old man. So when you become a repentant (a change of clothes), you gain righteousness. Repentance pays the price of sacrifice. And the repentant gets righteousness. But today people try to apply the word that they have no repentance and receive righteousness freely. Did those who said to repent take off their old clothes? To take off the clothes of the old man is to bury with Jesus and to deny self. Getting righteousness from God is not the first, but burial of the old is preceded.

But many church people try to do the opposite. They say that if they believe first, they are justified, and then they kill the old man. So they continue their fruitless lives.
In Romans 3:25『Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 』 Here, the subject is God. This Jesus is a sinner who buys sinners with blood. And so must enter into Christ Jesus. To be in Christ is like the Hebrews entering Canaan. That is redemption. So the people get the land. ”Have been established as a peace offering through faith “

The peace offering is also found in Hebrews 9: 5.『And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.』 Here, the word "on it" means "on the ark of the covenant." On the Ark of the Covenant is a cover (atonement). Above them are cherub-group angels. Within the ark of the covenant are manna, Aaron's staff, and the tablet of the covenant. This atonement is the "peace offering" in Romans 3. The Covenant is the same word as the Ark.

No one enters the Most Holy Place. There, only the elected priest can enter the Day of Atonement (Yan Kipur) once a year. The apostle Paul referred to the "cover of sin" as a peace offering. The Bible says, "If a person touches this cover, he dies, but if he opens it, he dies." The cover is always covered. A cover covers the two tablets of the covenant. By covering, reconciliation takes place between God and sinners. If there is no cover, God will judge sinners according to the words engraved on the two tablets. But it is covered with a cover. The cover is Jesus Christ.

By the death of Jesus, God covered the cover. God told Noah's day to build an ark because he decided to judge. Thus the ark becomes God's grace in judgment. At the judgment, the cover is the grace of God. Without Christ, the cover, all sinners will be judged. The Ark or the Most Holy Ark are the same reason. The cover is described as atonement in Hebrews and a peace offering in Romans. The meaning of the Atonement is the hat (kipar) worn by the Jews. Those who entered the ark were the builders of the ark. Those who enter the Atonement must change their clothes. The high priest takes off gorgeous clothes and changes to white clothes. You cannot enter the kingdom of God unless you take off the clothes of the old man and only change the clothes of the new man. You must bury the clothes of the old man with the death of Jesus Christ who died on the cross. Those who do not wear robes cannot enter the king's wedding feast.
