OUR REPORT


READ: ISAIAH 53:1-12
The Bible is replete with glorious reports on what Calvary has purchased for us. Jesus’ declaration, “It is finished,” signals the beginning of inexhaustible harvest of blessings. Our text, today, gives us report of our blood-bought right. The details of what is ours by inheritance are so breathtaking that some people may find it difficult to believe it. Today, the question is still being asked: “Who has believed our report?” Jesus paid the supreme price in order to give us the best that heaven has to offer. He tasted shame, sorrow, grief, ostracism and gruesome death in order to take us to a glorious realm. He became a man of sorrow in order to give us unspeakable joy, full of glory. God smote him so that we might not be smitten. He was wounded in order to take our pain away. He bore every pain and suffered extreme misery. Although He is the epitome of righteousness, He was numbered with the transgressors in order to give us the gift of righteousness. He offered to receive chastening in order to give us peace. By his stripes we are healed. What is our report? We have received full salvation. Healing and health are ours. Prosperity is also part of our inheritance. We also have victory over the dark kingdom. Calvary has also purchased peace for us. What is our report? It can be likened to blank cheque. It contains all we will ever need. Possess your possession today.
MEMORIZE: ROMANS 10:7 –Or, Who will descend into the abyss? (that is, to bring Christ up from dead).
