Redemption From Genesis To Revelation On Resurrection Sunday

When faith starts to feel heavy, complicated, or tied up in rules, it is time to come back to the cross. In this Resurrection Sunday message, we ask the question at the heart of the gospel: what does salvation actually mean, and why does the resurrection of Jesus change everything?

This message traces the thread of redemption from Genesis to Revelation, revealing how Scripture consistently points to Jesus Christ as the fulfilment of God’s rescue plan. From the first promise in Genesis, through Passover, covenant, prophecy, and Isaiah 53, we see the story of salvation unfolding with precision and power until it reaches Calvary and the empty tomb.

At the heart of this episode is the truth that salvation is not earned through striving, status, or religious effort. It is the gift of grace through Jesus Christ alone. We reflect on the love of God in John 3:16, the suffering and compassion of Jesus at the cross, the meaning of the bread and cup, and the life-changing reality that death does not have the final word.

This is a message for anyone who has been hurt by religion, tired of performance, or hungry for something real. The tomb is empty. Jesus is alive. The invitation is still open. Come back to grace, come back to truth, and come back to Christ.

Join us tonight at around 9:00 PM to 9:10 PM online for a 45-minute prayer gathering as we pray for everyone joining from across the world.

Episode Highlights:

• Salvation explained through the full story of Scripture
• Isaiah 53 and the prophetic picture of the cross
• Why grace cannot be earned or performed for
• The humanity, suffering, and compassion of Jesus
• The resurrection as the centre of Christian hope
• Communion brought back to its biblical simplicity
• Real freedom found in following Jesus Christ

Belief Over Religion In Spiritual War

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Sisters and brothers, let's look up, let's turn to the word of God. If anyone needs a Bible, please grab a Bible or just sit back, close your eyes. You know, where do we turn to today? Where do we turn in the scripture today? You know, what do you know the power of the word of God? When you look across the world, you know, I was just thinking through the service and just pondering over things, you know, what I was saying about all the other gods around the world. When you look at them, now when when you look, now I'm not gonna give this any airplay whatsoever, but when when you think about Satan, Satan is stronger and more powerful than any of them gods. Why do you say that? How can you say that? Because Satan is alive, all the other gods are buried and marked. See, when you when you think about the spiritual warfare that's out there, forget church, because church church ain't gonna help us at this time. I tell you, trust me, church ain't gonna help us. It's done, it's finished. It's about spiritual warfare. Now, now we're we're in a we're engaging in something completely different. You know, it's about belief because belief is greater than religion, belief is greater than anything. You know, belief will get you healed, belief will get you to tomorrow, belief will get you through the biggest valley and the biggest trail that you got in your life. So when you look at the foreign gods, you there you can there is a marker to every God that man has lifted up. There is a marker, whether I said it, they've been buried or they've been scattered around Asia or whatever, they've incremated or they've been put in jewelry because you can do all that sort of stuff now. You know, ashes, their ashes have been scattered, you know, there's a marker, but when you look when you seriously look at this, God created Lucifer. Without going into the theological thing because we ain't got the time, and it's Resurrection Sunday. So we have to look at this very clearly because it puts everything into a clear understanding. Every other foreign God has a marker in the ground somewhere. Lucifer, we understand how he came into the world, we understand that God created him. When you look at creation and you look at the heavenly hosts, how they were created and everything like that. God created him, he was he led the worship in heaven, you know. So when you look at all that sort of stuff and you study it, not giving him any airplay, but we gotta it just puts a lot of things into a clear box. So God creates Lucifer, Lucifer does what he does, the fall and everything going on. We understand everything, and then he was then and it all went a little bit wobbly for him, and then we we understand what happens. But Lucifer is alive, and I'm um, you know what I mean by that. You know, I don't need to go right, I don't need to go into the we understand, but we know what his his his the plan is for his life. So when you think about it, this just crushes them foreign gods even more. Lucifer is greater than your gods, because actually, let me tell you this he's the head of your gods, he's the head of your gods, because all worship outside of the kingdom of God, outside of the God of Israel, the Bible says don't worship, don't worship Mary, don't pray to Mary, the the queen of heaven, don't get all entangled in all that, don't worship any human being, don't lift up any other foreign god, just lift up Father, Son, Holy Spirit. That's clear fact. But when you look at so much stuff, now I have to be careful, you know. We're trying to keep online, I'd be very careful what I say. But when you look at so much stuff, even the church of Satan at this moment in time, when you look at everything, Satan, Lucifer is the the head of all those, whatever way, all what I read out, or what I've said, or what you know, Lucifer is at is that is is at that top of that triangle. So all those earthlings, those those human men and and thought that they were supernatural gods, they're dead. They're dead. Game over, good night. They're rotted. Every God that everyone serves, put it to put it just bluntly, is gone. Just bones now. You're gone. But I tell you who is alive, and while we know what his destiny is. Satan is at the top of the Christmas tree of all that. So when you worship other gods, you're not what because you're worshiping Satan. I don't have the time to go into it scripturally. Maybe I've opened up my can of beans I shouldn't have opened up this morning, but I'm just trying to bring some understanding of what we what we are looking at. So every other God that has named themselves a God is dead, rotted, gone, flesh gone, gone, but there's a marker in the sand somewhere to them where they've been put in the river, floating down the river, where they've been scattered around Asia, where they got a marker, or they got this. Everything is marked. But at the top of that, it is Lucifer. But above Lucifer is God. God is above all things. Redemption is from Genesis chapter 1 to the book of Revelation, and I've got a quick timeline I want to read out before we actually turn to the scripture. And for those that want to read on ahead, I think we're gonna go to, I think we go to the book of Isaiah. I think we go to the book of Isaiah. That's be our kick point. Uh we go to Isaiah 53, Isaiah 53, verse 5 onwards. I just want to read out a quick timeline of redemption. See, redemption started in Genesis chapter 1. Redemption started from the very beginning. See, God had a plan of salvation before human beings were created. So when you think about time itself and you think about uh the salvation, the word salvation, how powerful it is. So, right, Genesis chapter 1. Genesis, it talks about Jesus, uh the light of the world. And then from Genesis it talks about the fall, and it talks about the sacrifice, and it goes on about the covenant with Abraham, then it goes on into Exodus, it talks about the Passover. From the Passover, we go into the law and the Leviticus, but it's all relevant to where we are today, and then we we read very, very clearly about the kingdoms that have been promised, the Messiah, Samuel, Psalms, and then we go in, uh we go straight into quite a few books. We go into the prophetic books, are talking about uh the coming king, and then we go into Isaiah, we go through Isaiah, we go to Micah, we go through to Zechariah, and then we come right the way up to John, we come into the New Testament, and then suddenly we start seeing the prophets all being fulfilled. So we go all the way through John, we go through Luke, we go from Matthew about the kingdom, the grace, then we go into Matthew again, John talking about the cross, redemption, redemption is all the way through the thread. Redemption is all the way through, and then we come to the burial, even Isaiah 53, verse 9 mentions that Matthew 27, and then we come into the resurrection on the third day. Very interesting, the third day, what the third day represents. You've got Matthew, Luke, Romans talking about it, and it says uh death has no dominion, and it's talking about that. Then we talk about the power of resurrections, Romans 1 Corinthians, then we talk about redemption and the truth through John Revelation. So all the way, all the way from the kick point, you will read very, very clearly, you will read about redemption before the very beginning of time. So if you have a Bible now, please turn turn with me. Let's turn to the book of Isaiah, let's turn to the book of Isaiah. We know it's resurrection Sunday, we know Jesus is alive. So when you look at Isaiah, uh, let's have a look. Let's go, hang on a moment, let's have a look. Let's go, yeah. I tell you what, Isaiah, yeah, Isaiah 53, Isaiah 53, and let's read from verse 1. This is this is really interesting. So as we read this, Isaiah 53, verse 1, it says, Who has believed our message? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? Now, this is about 700, 750 years, the prophecy of Jesus before the birth. So even when you think of when you think about this, the prophecy and everything, and it says, He grew up before him like a tender shoot and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was deceived and rejected by man, a man of sorrow, familiar with suffering. Very, very interesting when you study the journey of Jesus, the character of Jesus. You know, when you look at him, we understand that he lost his stepdad Joseph. We understand that Jesus uh has gone through bereavement himself. So when you look at that, Jesus lost Joseph, his dad, when he was around about 30 years old. He's not present in his ministry, and then we see a clear understanding at the cross of Calvary when Jesus says, as a very clear conversation to the Apostle John about his mum. You know, when you think everything that's going on, I think that that is such a powerful story when Jesus is hanging on the cross, and and we could never understand what that looked like. Jesus was on the cross, remembering he's in full charge of death, life, everything. You know, he is the way, the truth, and the life. And his main concern at that point was his mum. And when when you look at the story of crucifixion, everything stopped. And he looked down to his mum, he looked down to John, and he said he said, John, in into your hands, you know, I give you my mum, you know, mum, into the and you look at that because it was cultural at that point. So we understand very, very clearly that as Jesus stopped everything, the moon stopped, the sun stopped, everything stopped moving for a minute until Jesus had dealt with his mum. So when you think about Jesus and his respect for women and everything, just goes out outside the door of, you know, so so powerful that that text where where Jesus hands it over. So when you look at this scripture here and it talks about he was familiar with sorrow and pain, yes, it's referring to many areas. The Garden of Gethsemane, it's referring to the loss that he lost his earthly father. And it says he was despised, verse 3, he was despised and rejected by a man, a man of sorrow and familiar with suffering. And it says, uh, like one from whom men hid their faces, he was despised, and he we esteemed him not. And then we come to a really interesting part of the text of verse 4, Isaiah 53. Surely he took up our infirmities, he carried on our sorrows, yet he was considered and smitten by God, smitten by him and afflicted. Verse 5, as I mentioned earlier on, but he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities, the punishment that brought us peace. The punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. So when you look at this scripture, there is so much in the depth of theological understanding. It talks about Jesus as a young, young boy growing up. It talks about that there was nothing about his majesty, there was not he wasn't he wasn't handsome, he wasn't pumped up down the gym, you know, he wasn't like these celebrity TikTok preachers, you know what I mean? All that going on with the latest gadgets and all that. He he was he just blended into the fabric of life. Very interesting the story of Jesus as a boy coming up through. But then it it so it brings his youth, his his boyhood, right up unto the cross in in a matter of like six verses. Surely he took up our infirmities, he was he carried our sorrows, he was considered stricken by God, smitten by him, uh uh afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions. You know, I spoke about that blood and water flowed from him. He was pierced, and the Bible says, not one of his bones would be broken. So as you read this further, it says, He was pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought us peace was upon him. By his wounds we are healed. They're referring to the wounds in uh the courtyard when he was elashed, and it and we won't go into all that, you know, and if you look at all that very clearly, by his wounds we are healed, we are all like sheep that have gone astray. Each of us have turned on our own way, and the Lord uh laid on him the iniquity of us all. And then it goes on a little bit further, you know. But if we turn to Genesis, Genesis chapter one a moment, so we got a little bit of an understanding there that what Isaiah is saying, there's a king coming, and then you turn a little bit further through the scriptures, you know, Isaiah 7 and Isaiah 9, you read about, you know, the coming king, the coming king, you know, uh it talks about Mary giving birth, the virgin will give birth. When you look at these scriptures, you bring all this together. So when you look at salvation, because from Genesis chapter 1, right away to the end of Revelations, you will, if you read Genesis chapter 1, you will find the deity straight off from the kick point. You will find the Spirit of God, you will find Jesus, and you will find God, the invisible God, the God of Israel. So when you read Genesis chapter 1, verse 3, we've read this a thousand times, we've looked at this a thousand times, but you know what? As you look at the word, the more you read it, the more you go into it, you know, God reveals his word to us. You know, we don't need an education, you don't need to be out there read and write because it comes through revelational knowledge, because the Holy Spirit teaches you. That is clear, that is told, that is given to us in the Gospel of John. The Bible says you don't need man to teach you, but in any other religion, what you need are other teachers to teach you, but the the Holy Spirit teaches you, you have revelational knowledge, so that's what is so powerful outside of the remit of knowledge and everything. But in Genesis chapter chapter 1, verse 3, the Bible says, Let there be light. So when you look at that, we have a forerunner before the fall of humanity in the Garden of Eden. So when you look at the scripture, already we have redemption starting to move. And then in Genesis chapter 3, verse 15, it talks about, you know, I will put enmity, you know, it took, and then we have a clear understanding. Here we have right now, we have from this point, Genesis chapter 3, verse 15, it talks about enmity, it talk, it's talking about redemption. You know, this is what you've got to go through, but when you go through it and you come out the other end, you will receive salvation. So when you look at what we're looking at today, yes, it is resurrection Sunday, yes, he is alive, yes, he is the savior of the world. But I need to understand what does it actually all mean? What does all this mean? Salvation. What is salvation? Salvation is a gift from God above, it is dropped onto each and every one of us, everybody online. You know, you might never ever uh get to church, but you haven't got to get to church to receive Jesus because Jesus is outside of every denomination, he's outside the four walls, he's the savior of the world. And when you read about redemption from Genesis to Revelation, it is about healing, it is about power, it is about anointing, it is about salvation, it is about being bought back with a price. And when you look at those scriptures that I read out earlier, those covenant scriptures are talking about there has to be a blood covenant, there has to be the shedding of blood. You've got the bulls and the heifers and the lambs and everything that went on all the way through the Old Testament, and then suddenly this ain't enough. But right from the very beginning, we read about salvation and redemption. Redemption can only come through the Lord Jesus Christ. And if you have a Bible, turn to John 3.16. You know, we must be so familiar with John 3.16. God so loved the world, God loves you. We can't escape that. We can't escape that fact that God loves us, whether we believe him or believe him not. God loves us because he is outside of our emotions, he's not worried whether we believe him or believe him not, because salvation is in his hand. And when you look at life, it is not an autocall that we need because you were created outside the fabric of life itself. And when you look at creation, the six-day creation, and God said, Let there be light. Now, when you go through that, it's very interesting how God talks about light and darkness. There was a separation between light and darkness, there was an already separation. So straight away we have the physical realm very clearly speaking about the spiritual realm that is going to come. And and God said, and God saw, and he created. So when you look at creation, creation is a forerunner of redemption, hope, and a new beginning. So when you study creation and you look at creation in the book of Genesis, it gives you a greater understanding of salvation. Because salvation comes out of Genesis chapter 1: redemption, salvation, justification, hope, and love and the power of God. The Holy Spirit is in Genesis chapter 1, right at the very beginning, and it says the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the deep. And then we read all the way through the Old Testament, we see right the way through many, many reference points where the Holy Spirit is, but then suddenly within the New Testament, we see very clearly that suddenly salvation and the Holy Spirit starts to be given a lot more freely. So when you talk about the cross, what we talk about today, the cross, and we might say to ourselves, Wow, what a powerful story that is. He died, they buried him, they rolled the stone, they sealed the stone, guards there, and then we know the rest. History. History really tells us very clearly, and sometimes we have to just look at it, look at the the scripture and then look outside of biblical knowledge as well, and just look at so many writers, writers that actually didn't believe in Jesus, but have given us historical documentation that yes, this actually happened. This was actually real outside of what we call the word of God, which is really, really interesting. So when you look at the writings of Christ, you look at the resurrection, you know, the fundamental points of Christianity, what are they? It's about creation, it's about salvation, it's about justification. A few points that are really, really important, and you look at those areas where Christ had to hit, and he's hit all those areas, and there's one more place for him to hit, and that is the return of the coming king. So when you look, the first point was the birth of Jesus Christ. So we have the birth, we have the death, we have the resurrection, we have the ascension, and now we understand that he's seated in heavenly realm, seated next to the Father, interceding for all the saints. So when you look at Christ Himself, when you look at him and you look at the the man Christ, fully man, fully God, fully king, fully savior of the world, and you bring all the scriptures together, it's it's it's really interesting how you find from Genesis chapter 1, verse 1, right up to the end of Revelation, that Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit is all the way through. It's all the way through. So, right at the very beginning, you you've got you've got salvation. There was already a plan in place before they went to the tree. Before they went to the tree, before what happened, what happened, before all that happened, salvation was already in place. We could never ever believe that God was just about and he went, oh no, I didn't see that one coming. He already had a plan in place, there was a plan in place. The scriptures tell us very clearly we can identify salvation, revelation, justification, sanctification. But what we find in the Old Testament and in the New Testament, they are just woven together. You cannot separate. The only way we can separate and get an understanding is through time separation, through the time aspect, about 300, 350 years from the old to the new, just just time, just the time gap. God was still moving, things were still happening, but there was this stillness from the end to the beginning of the New Testament. So when you when you look at this and you look at the the power of salvation, salvation is given. You can't earn it. It is by grace we have been saved. So that actually erases everything out from the fundamentalists. So when you look at every other religion, it is all by works and by deeds and putting a rucksack on your back and doing whatever you've got to do. It's all by that means. But in the kingdom of God, in true Christianity, the Bible says we're all sinners saved by grace. So it is a leveler, culture, color, creed, language, money, no money. God looks at us absolutely equal. And we're all looked at completely the same. No one is greater than anybody else. But in every other religion, you will find that there is a system of a hierarchy system put in place. But when you look very clearly at Jesus Christ and you look at where we sit today, Resurrection Sunday, what does it actually mean? As the angel said, Why are you looking for the living among the dead? See, that's what religion does, that's what other world religions do. They worship the dead, they go to the to that kick point and they worship that fundamental point. But we worship the king who's alive. When you look at these scriptures, and we just look very briefly in the book of Isaiah 53, it tells us 750 years before he shows up, and then you turn to the Gospel of John and you read the Gospel of John chapter 1 in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God. He was with God in the beginning. And then in John chapter 1, verse 14, it says, And the word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. So here we see. The birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. So when you look at today, what we're celebrating, we're celebrating salvation. Yes, he's alive. Yes, the stone has been rolled back. Yes, the tomb is empty. And as I said at the very beginning of the service, you've only got to look at all the other gods around the world. They're dead. They're rotted. They're gone. Finished. Over. But you look and you study the resurrection and you read what it says in the testaments, in the new testament, about the stone was rolled back, the grave clothes were folded up by themselves. The burial cloth, the head garment laid there. When you look at the new study, the resurrection, the power. When you study the cross of Calvary, when Jesus was hanging on the cross of Calvary, and you think about death, you know, who's scared of dying? I'm scared of dying. Oh Lord, hang on a minute. People go, Oh, you shouldn't be. You're a born-again Christian. Still scared of it. I ain't gonna lie to you. You know, but I've got to look at death completely different because I've been brought up, grown up, lifted up, dragged up by my ears in a culture that says that death is really powerful and it's the end, but it's actually not. Death is the doorway to the beginning of eternity. So when you look at death and you study death and you look at that, you know, certain cultures and certain areas of life, you know, oh, don't talk about it. Don't kids are here, don't talk about death, whatever you do. When you look at it, it is the doorway to a new beginning. So when Jesus Christ was on the cross at Calvary, death was only present as we understand. And when we look and study death and realize what death actually is, it's a doorway into the kingdom. It's the doorway into the kingdom. We understand what happens to the autonomy in the body, we get all that. But when you look at death itself, when Jesus was on the cross and he said, I believe that these are the most powerfulest words. Correct me, you know, tell me if I've got this wrong, it is finished. I believe that they could be the most powerful words that Jesus ever spoke across the platform of the world. Because what he was doing, he was bringing salvation into the materialistic world. He was fulfilling the Old Testament and the New Scriptures, the New Testament was beginning. So when you look at that, yes, I understand when you when you go to Genesis chapter one, and God said, Let there be light. Yeah, what we have there, we have a physical manifestation of the world coming into being. But what we have at the cross of Calvary is we have creation and we have revelation from the book of Revelation. The book is revealed, so the end of the new, you've got revelation and you've got creation all coming together at the cross of Calvary. So when you look at that, when Jesus said it is finished, suddenly what happened then? When he bowed his head, and the Bible says he gave up his spirit. So God Christ, the Holy Spirit, is in charge of death. So suddenly, when I realize what death is, and the Bible says for the great apostle, O death, where is thy sting? Because suddenly, when you realize that Christ is outside of death, but he called death in, so the scriptures could be fulfilled, because the Bible says in the book of Isaiah and many other places, you know, he will be pierced, the lamb will be sacrificed. So what we have is a physical understanding that death had to happen for the human race to understand, yes, that happened, yes, I have seen it. The Bible says the just shall live by faith, but trying to live by faith will take every amount of energy that you have in your fibers. Because we live in a world that is very materialistic. What I see in front of me is in existence. We we live our lives by perception, sensual perception, by smell, touch, sight, and everything that goes on. So what my senses pick up, what I touch, is real. But outside of this realm is that spiritual realm. So when we look and we say, why did why why is all this had to happen? Why it had to happen, it had to be written for humanity to understand through picture formation. So when you go back in time, when Jesus done his teaching, it was either with the fish and the loaves, it was with agricultural, everyone learned by visualization and the stories were told by that way, and it's exactly the same today. It's exactly the same today because the human race struggles with belief, because belief is not natural, it is supernatural. We do not live our lives by by what I say, by perception, to a degree that we actually do, but we we live we've got to live our lives by faith. The just shall live by faith. So it's believing that over 2,000 years ago, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords went to the cross of Calvary. And when you really think about that, he went to the cross of Calvary and he gave his life, and then we look at the resurrection power. When we look at that, I've got to believe that. The stories have been given, I read what it says, the fact has been given. Now I have to believe that over 2,000 years ago that the king went to the cross, he he he was but he was given birth to, he died, and he rose again, and he is sovereign and he is the coming king. See, that is the greatest strength that I will ever have in my life, is the strength of faith. See, faith has nothing to do with the physicality of a human being. We be we can be completely bedridden and not able to move one inch, but we can have faith that can move mountains. We can be as completely fit as a fiddle and go in life and walk and just have no faith. Because faith is irrelevant to the skin that I walk in, into the physicality. Faith is invisible, and then suddenly I've got to believe, and I do believe, that he went to the cross, and on the third day the stone was rolled back because the Bible tells me so. I don't need to prove it, I believe it. I don't need to justify it because he's told me through the word. So from Genesis to revelation, it is not about knowledge, it is about revelation. So that's why Jesus brought it so simple to the two at the shoreline of Galilee. What did he say? Just belief. But the church has taken it, manipulated it, shaped it, molded it into, I will use this word, the biggest occult the world has ever seen. Because of the lot of the church has an occultic way, has very ritualistic processes it has to go through. The color church, the white church, the black church, the pink church, every church. It's very, very interesting. But when you look at the kingdom, because the Bible talks about the kingdom, we belong to the kingdom, the kingdom is within, and we belong to the kingdom, the kingdom of God. It doesn't have a structure, it doesn't have a physical realm. Because the Bible is extremely clear. He is omnipresent, he is omnipotent. God doesn't need a building, God's not worried about Sunday mornings. When we look at it, we so okay, if we'll time, we're gonna have to come to the table because you know we've got to get out of it. But when when you look at church, church happened after what? After the cross. There was no Canterbury in existence, there was no Catholicism, there was no Pentecostal movement as we know it today. It was the cross of Calvary, so there was no crackpots in the church, there was no men in dresses, there was no pink, fluffy, woke stuff. So religion is dangerous. Religion is dangerous, church can be dangerous, but the kingdom of God is freeing. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. So, what did the cross do? What was the cross all about? It was about giving freedom, giving hope, giving redemption, and there are no strings attached. You're saved, you're saved. That's it. But Jesus, there's got to be more. The bishop has told me more. Canterbury has told me I've got to dance through oops on a Sunday morning. The Pentecostal movement says I've got to bark like a dog, run around shouting out, Pastor is good. When you look at church, so far removed from the scripture, and I believe God is bringing the church back to the cross. Because at the cross, there was no bishops, there was no pastors, there was one king. At the cross, there was no worshipers, because what did they say? Crucify, crucify, crucify, and who was the audience made up with? The same liars that was at Palm Sunday waving the palm, Hosanna, Hosanna, and within a flick of a breath, they run round the corner. Give us Barabbas. See, the world wants Barabbas when you know who Barabbas was. Barabbas represents everything we've got today. Crucifier. So from Husannah to crucify, that's church. So where we sit today, we've got to strip ourselves back from religion and church and focus on the cross. Because what the cross represents, the Old Testament, the New Testament. Don't follow me, follow Jesus. Don't follow Eliam, follow Jesus. Don't follow this church, follow Jesus. Follow the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Study who was at the cross. His mum, his brothers, his family, a handful of disciples. And they was in secret. They was in secret because they couldn't let them know who they really was. Because religion, the fundamentalists, took him to the cross. It wasn't the Romans. The Roman soldiers have got a bad rap in this because the Roman soldiers were the instruments to bang the nails in. That's what that was about. But the ones that actually took him to the cross, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the lawgivers, the ones that gave 30 pieces of silver to Judas Iscariot. So we're coming to the breaking of bread. And we're going to break bread and we're going to take of the cup. You're more than free to do it. You can leave it. It's up to you. It's entirely up to you. You haven't got to do it. You haven't got to follow me. You follow Jesus. But again, when you look at breaking of the bread and the taking of the cup, when you look at that, when you understand what that actually means, it is about redemption. It is about the bread being the body of Christ. It is about the cup being the blood of Jesus Christ. When you look at it, the church has taken that and has elongated it and stretched it and pulled it and pushed it and manipulated it all over the place. But as we come to the table right now, you can go ahead of me, you can go behind me. But Jesus, all Jesus says, do this in remembrance of me. So today, as we think about the cross, as we look at the cross, as you look at Israel, as you look at the church in the UK, the church in the UK is seriously in trouble. Seriously in trouble. Yeah, there's a few good churches out there. They're doing really, really well. They're doing amazing, they're preaching the gospel. But when you look at the percentage of it far away from the kingdom, I'm talking about the leaders, I'm talking about the structure of the church itself, the makeup of the church. You go home, you go and watch it today, you'll see Canterbury, you know, the strings being pulled today, you watch all that satanic activity going on with all that stuff. Not biblical. It's not biblical. Because all that was outside of the crucifixion. Because that wasn't present. But what was present was the king, the lamb, the God of Israel. What do you mean God was there? They gave him the name Emmanuel. God with us. Number one. Number two, Christ is the image of the invisible God. When you look at the scriptures, and you look at crucifixion in the death, it will flip your eyes in your head. God came down in the image of his son. But then we read the scripture. Why have you forsaken me? When you look at the triune Godhead, three in one, Father, Son, Holy Spirit. See, salvation has been given. Salvation is free. Salvation is free. However you sit today, however you are, whatever your life reflects. Isn't it beautiful that we ain't got to go to church? Isn't it amazing that we haven't got to sign a documentation at the door? I give my life to Elam. I'll give my life to Canterbury. Oh, I'll give my life to the Pope. Jesus Christ saved every one of you online. God bless you, everybody online around the world and everywhere here. Because John 3 16 is today. For God so loved the world. Should we break bread? Let's take it a cup. Father, we thank you for this bread that symbolizes the body of Christ. And Lord, on this resurrection Sunday, we thank you that there is power. Because the crib is empty, the cross is empty, the grave is empty, there is no marker on this earth. But Lord, I thank you that we can crisscross this world and almost go to all the foreign gods and look at their gravestone. But Jesus, you're in my heart. But Jesus, you're crisscrossing the world. Jesus, you're seated at the right hand of the Father, interceding for all the saints. Father, I thank you for this bread. It symbolizes the body of Christ. Lord, I'm not doing this because it's religion and because it's Sunday. Lord, this is an everyday activity. Because you tell us, as often as you gather together, do this in remembrance of me. So we break bread and we take at a cup. And Lord, I thank you for this bread. It symbolizes the body of Christ. But right now, Lord, I thank you that my sins, our sins, are gone. So Lord, deal with my head. Our history is gone. So, Father, I thank you that there is freedom. Bless this bread in the name of Jesus. Amen. See, when you look at the Old Testament, just before we take the cup, it's about a covenant. God made a covenant, a blood covenant, and that was fulfilled at the cross. And it was, it's very interesting the crucifixion, the stages of crucifixion. Because even though he said it is finished, he still had to go three days for the fulfillment for all of it to come into being. So there are stages. So when he said it is finished, we we get that. He bowed his head, he gave up his spirit, he went down into Shola and everything, everything you read, all that sort of stuff. But then also the completion was actually on the third day. So what you have, you have a start of it, a start of it rolling for the three days. Because he he had to come back. God had to breathe into the lungs of Jesus Christ. So the stone had to be rolled. He had to walk out for the fulfillment, the complete fulfillment. So when you look at the scriptures, they're in state, they're in lines in the sand, and every line was hit. Crucifixion, the laying in the in the tomb, and then the third, just bringing everything to the completion when the new actually started. So it's about the blood. From Genesis to the New Testament, it's about blood, the blood covenant. And then when he walked out of the tomb, when he walked out of the tomb, because he had to walk out, he had to actually get out of the tomb for the scriptures to be fulfilled. He had to physically walk out. So that when he walked out, when that first foot came out into daylight, that's when the old was completely fulfilled. So as we take this, this is so powerful. This is so powerful. And just remind yourself as you take this every other god that said there was a God has got a gravestone, and they're stretched out. Every pope, every queen, every king, everyone, even the one that's being spoken about probably the most at the moment, Muhammad in Islam. He's dead, he's gone, he's finished. No more. It wasn't even to start with, because it was written by a boy. It wasn't spirit-filled, it was fueled by Lucifer. Fact. Don't beat around the bush. We ain't got time. Everyone that you look at, there is a marker, and you cannot get healing, you cannot get salvation, you cannot get freedom. Every other religion has strings attached. The kingdom says this you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. There's nothing like being free. Father, I thank you that this cup symbolizes the blood of Jesus. As we take this cup, I thank you that we are forgiven in Jesus' name. Amen. God bless you wherever you are around the world. Thank you for joining us today. God bless you. Thank you for staying online wherever you are, whatever city, whatever town. May God bless you today and may the Holy Spirit fill you afresh. And uh we pray on this resurrection Sunday that you will just follow Jesus. So let's remind ourselves don't follow Ben, don't follow Eliam, don't follow the church, don't follow religion, follow the one that stepped out of the grave. On the third day when his Nike air trainer stepped outside and he put it on the tarmac. Hello, world. I'm alive. Let's pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you for time in the house. We thank you for time just being together online. Father, we thank you to every human being online right now. Father, we thank you for the multitude that are crisscrossing the world with us. Father, we just pray that there will be healing on everybody online, that you will touch their hearts, their minds, and their bodies and their souls. Thank you to everybody online, Lord. Thank you to everybody in the house today. Thank you for everyone, dear God. And Lord, as we close, we just pray that you will, dear God, draw us closer to the cross. And we will get to the cross and we will know that Jesus Christ is alive and well in the greatest name in heaven and earth. Amen. God bless you. We'll see you tonight at 9 o'clock, 10 past nine, online as we go for 45 minutes as we just have our prayer time for everyone that jumps online. God bless you. And if I don't see you uh later on tonight online, I'll see you through if I don't see you through the week or see you through the window. God bless. Have a great day in the mighty name of Jesus.
