Few look into the great sacrifice the Jewish Jesus did in regards to declaring the Truth of God.
When I say the Truth of God, I mean all the Truths that God has given to mankind for his good, his preservation, for his salvation, and for the doctrine, faith, conduct, and order he has incorporated in his worship.
Truth is most often judged by those who are not people of God. Therefore, their judgment is based upon their level of sin. If Truth crosses them on their sins they reject it. If Truth will lead them from their sins, they will reject it. I have been personal witness how Truth is hated because it crosses someone's opinions, their traditions, their personal convictions, and how they believe. Not only will they hate the Truth, they will hate the messenger. Herein is where the Jewish Jesus met the gates of hell. You see, each person becomes a sort of gate by which others may pass on to heaven or hell. And it is these people, these gates, that will fight and war against the Jewish Jesus and his holiness.
You see holiness is not just dress. Holiness includes all the Truth for Truth is holy. Every doctrine of the Word of God is holy. The effect it has upon us is holiness. It is by the Word of God we are transformed into the people of God. And the people of God are not worldly. They are not of this world. They are a separated people. They are a saved and sanctified people. They have set heaven before their face and will walk the path that leads to that endless day.
The Jewish Jesus met the religious idiots who think God respects their opinions, their traditions, their personal convictions, and their worldliness. No, God does not respect anything that is not holy. God has no pleasure in anything that has sin in it. God will not compromise with sin and allow a little bit or a whole lot. The Jewish Jesus gave us an example of how religious bigots will sit and condemn the Godly. They will tell lies and spread perversions. They will bring railing accusations. They will deny Truth and place their own agenda in front of it. And, just as in the Temple, the religious leaders had their own reprobate system or organization, even so it is today. Men and women will stay in religious organizations no matter how backslid they get. They will toss out the Truth and take in doctrines of men and of devils. And because they have good music they can jump and leap the night away. But, they are enemies of the Jewish Jesus.
The Jewish Jesus sacrificed his life for Truth. Any less sacrifice by any man or woman is unacceptable. When men and women no longer stand for Truth and put their own religions traditions before it, they are unworthy to even have a God. They can make believe they are saved but in the end, the falsehoods they have replaced Truth with will condemn them.
No lie is of the Truth. The Jewish Jesus did not tell lies, did not support lies, did not spread lies, and he was rejected. He was a Man of Truth. Truth does not need lies to make it pretty or better. It does not need falsehood to help it save souls. The Jewish Jesus has shown us that if we stand for the Truth people will hate us. As they hated him, so they will hate us. I am not afraid of their hate. Their hate does not shake me. Their slander does not move me. I don't go off and cry. I am a brave and bold man. I can take the hate. I can bear up under the criticism. I can keep my head up high and smile. And when Laodicaea pukes out its slander, I smile and say Jesus I deserve that. Yes, I deserve the slander. I mean, I purposely put myself in their cross-hairs for them to shoot at me with their fiery darts of slander. I deserve all of it. And I do not mind. If a person is not prepared to face the hate, then they will never make the sacrifice for Truth. Yes, the Jewish Jesus show us that he was the sacrifice for Truth and because of it, tolerated the hate of the religious devils.
Among Apostolics and Jesus Name people, there are many who hate Truth. They like their traditions, their opinions, their personal convictions, and their worldliness. Any Man of God who crosses them up is open target for their hate.
But, let all who are willing, who have a brave heart, who are not afraid, set out and be a mouth for the Truth. Do not fear what men will say about you or to you. You are making the greatest sacrifice of all, the sacrifice for Truth.
If you make this choice, remember, there will be many ready to crucify you. Many will scream at you. And some will dare even to spit upon you. The sacrifice of Truth led the Jewish Jesus to Calvary. Where will it lead you?
