Things New and Old: It was the LORD God who laid my sins on Christ

Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things" 2Ti 2:7.

It was the LORD God who laid my sins on Christ

I DIDN'T lay my sins on Jesus. That's a fable.

The LORD God DID THAT, by His grace and mercy, freely and sovereignly, when Christ died on the cross. That's grace; yes grace alone, withOUT me doing the laying of my sins on Christ. (You see, man's works always keep creeping in so subtlely, undermining and contaminating grace. That is typical of EVEN the Reformed people who shout "grace alone" ever so loudly - oh that deformed inclination.)

Isa 53:6

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

You and I were not around to lay our sins on Christ. To say otherwise is just a plain delusion and a lie. Even if we had been around, we would be dead in trespasses and sins, with no possibility of us doing the laying of our sins to Christ.

Based solely upon the LORD having laid on Christ our sins, we were freely justified, regenerated, adopted and indwelt with the Spirit of adoption. Then we are brought to faith in Christ through the gospel ministry.

AFTER the Lord had saved me, I did and continue to cast my burden and care upon Christ, for He cares for me. 1Pet 5:7.
