His own self

In fulfillment of these words in the Prophet Isaiah--'He took our infirmities on himself, and bore the burden of our diseases.'

The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him, and exclaimed: "Here is the Lamb of God, who is to take away the sin of the world!

so it is with the Christ. He was offered up once and for all, to 'bear away the sins of many'; and the second time he will appear--but without any burden of sin--to those who are waiting for him, to bring Salvation.

The tree

Christ ransomed us from the curse pronounced in the Law, by taking the curse on himself for us, for Scripture says--'Cursed is any one who is hanged on a tree.'

Live

Indeed I tell you that, unless your religion is above that of the Teachers of the Law, and Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

That we should be rescued from the hands of our enemies,

But that in every nation he who reverences him and does what is right is acceptable to him.

So let it be with you-regard yourselves as dead to sin, but as living for God, through union with Christ Jesus.

For the outcome of life in the Light may be seen in every form of goodness, righteousness, and sincerity--

Bearing a rich harvest of that righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Knowing him to be righteous, you realize that every one who lives righteously has received the new Life from him.

My Children, do not let any one mislead you. He who lives righteously is righteous--as Christ is righteous.

By
