Undoing The Fall


From Mark 15:33-41 / Undoing The Fall – Volumes could be written about these few verses, and the wonder and spectacle of Christ’s death on the cross could never, will never be fully mined. Its depths lay only in the deep heart of our triune God. And we are unable to bear the sight of such glory without something to shield us. Redeemed, born again, indwelt by the Spirit, and even in glorification – we will still not be divine. His infinitude, and the unsearchable riches of His grace will no doubt keep our souls and minds occupied in discovery throughout eternity. As 2 Cor. 5:18-20 reads: “All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.” In the rending of the veil in the Temple which separated the holy place from the holy of holies – it is as if, in Christ, God took the angel with the flaming sword out of the way to the Tree of Life – and then in the Gospel, calls all men to come and return to Him – believing the message that Christ has made atonement for sin, and they might come and be reconciled. If they believe in the finished work of Christ, they can come and have fullness of restoration to the Father. But if they do not believe, or in wickedness do not care because they’ve no desire to be restored and reconciled to the Father – then their blood is on their own heads. He opened the gate. Who will enter in? Have you? Will you?
