Jesus knew our sin
Here is the word of the night
PROPITIATION [pro pish ih AY shun] — the atoning death of Jesus on the cross, through which He paid the penalty demanded by God because of people’s sin, thus setting them free from sin and death. The word means “appeasement.” Thus, propitiation expresses the idea that Jesus died on the cross to pay the price for sin that a holy God demanded.
Although Jesus was free of sin, He took all our sins upon Himself and redeemed us from the penalty of death that our sins demanded. As the writer of 1 John declared, “He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world” (1 John 2:2; atoning sacrifice, NIV, NRSV).[1]
Basically Jesus was the one that made God not look at you for your sin and forgave you. You never have to worry about the sin you did after you come to faith in Jesus. God demands you or Jesus pay for it and if you accept him your safe. If your pastor somehow tells you your sin is not paid for on the cross fire him. Jesus was 100 percent sin free meaning he did not have to die because the sin did not infect him. Jesus can die for you because he is not a sinner and a sinner cannot die fir a sinner.
Hebrews 2 18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.[2]
I have to hit this in the light of the word I looked at. Jesus it said was tempted in every way we were so Jesus did not have it easy in his walk. He sure had tons thrown at him in times that he might have had been tempted but he left it and won the fight. It is hard to know if he could of sinned and it is a long hard thing we might have to fight that one on the comments but I think he was not of Adam and he never could of sinned because he was God. However Jesus as God felt everything we feel in our fight here and he know how hard it is not to sin.
It is cool I am able to face Jesus who knows what sin is and know the heat I take every day and I am able to know he knows what the fight is. Jesus loves me when I slip into sin and he wants me to keep fighting for him knowing he gives me a rest from sin. I am still a sinner in practice but in Jesus I am sin free and perfect in the eyes of God.
In time we are going to see this verse
Heb 4 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.[3]
We are going to talk more on this topic as we hit that verse but it is a great thing to know this verse.
